Ironically(and indubitably) Perry is Right!

Pun intended:
You know yesterday the president said I needed to watch what I say. I just want to respond back, if I may. Mr. President, actions speak louder than words. My actions as Governor are helping create jobs in this country. The President’s actions are killing jobs.
...but parsing more important:

"You know yesterday the president said I needed to watch what I say."
"I just want to respond back, if I may. Mr. President, actions speak louder than words."
"My actions as Governor are helping create jobs in this country."
"The President’s actions are killing jobs."
[My bold added for a bit more context. The parsing is tricky, but it spins like a Texas Two-Step.]

And the president should take his advice, Go Left, Dear Sir*.
While context in an anthema to the Right,
nuance and parsing are a bitter pill for them, and a better bill** for the Left.

By not going whole hog or shifting from recovery to reform too soon, the President is killing jobs.
But he is not the unitary executive that can just get her done.
Perry and the QT party are too cute by their own Picard.

*7th minute on Public Priorities(Create Jobs 62%/Cut Spending 29%)

Actual pun extended, if you follow my lede. I inserted "(indubitably)" and deleted "Rick" in deference to the indubitable Melissa Harris(no-relation)-Perry. But no accounting for the In-DUB-it-able other Texan. Or is that Pun to the Austin Powers? But please don't ask Michelle Bachmann or she might go cut an astroturfer

Original lede: "Ironically Rick Perry is Right." Under the better bill** link, Melissa Harris-Perry is also right.

Meanwhile under "parsing" is the less than indubitable source for what I broke down as making sense seperately, but not in comprehensive context, and results only in a con text.

OK, I don't know the Texas Two-Step. But I did not want to dance around another link. See inserted [My bold added...]

OK, I stepped out on my last comment, and stepped on Texas with a link that is not a two-step.
