Fox News’ Chris Wallace told Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry that his goal of creating 2.5 million jobs in his first term was “terrible.”

In Perry’s first campaign TV ad last week, the candidate promised to create at least 2.5 million jobs over four years.

“Governor, here’s what I don’t get about that 2.5 million jobs: 2.5 million jobs is terrible,” Wallace said to Perry Sunday. “That wouldn’t be nearly enough for the first four years of the administration. We looked at it. We would roughly need six million jobs in the first four years just to stay even with population growth. So, 2.5 million jobs, the unemployment rate would increase. Jimmy Carter created 10.5 million jobs in his first four years.”

“But how do you answer this question?” Wallace pressed. “Two and a half million jobs doesn’t even keep pace with population growth. Our unemployment rate would increase under this goal.”

Or was his nose too far up the Chimp's ass?

5. Perry doesn't even know how to create the 2.5M

He like all candidates just through out numbers they think sound good. They don't have a clue how to deliver, if it is possible, or the effect if it can.

9. We are in the first few years of probably a 30 year recovery. 2.5m jobs would be good. I don't

think it can be done. It's not going to keep up with population growth for a while.

10. This is just part of the establishment coalescing around Romney

and Fox News is the mouthpiece for that Establishment. They are doing what they are told.
