The economy is sputtering along, growing at an anemic 1.0% rate and Hurricane Irene may just well send us into the long predicted double dip recession. Before team Obama adds another act of God to its litany of lame excuses for its indefensible lack of leadership and imbecile fiscal policies it's worth remembering that Texas and Texas alone bore the brunt of Hurricane Ike just three short years ago. Ike was the third costliest hurricane to make land in the United States. Rick Perry was the governor of Texas then and even while still coping to handle the infusion of tens of thousands of refugees from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and having been hit by Hurricane Dolly 52 days earlier, managed to put Texas into the top spot in jobs created from 2000 to 2010. See Politfact if you don't believe Perry's job numbers.
