(My new American Thinker post)
President Obama is back in Texas. He was greeted at the airport by our very upbeat Governor Perry, a man who is always selling Texas here, there and everywhere.

This is President Obama's second trip to Texas this spring.
Maybe somebody told President Obama that the White Sox are in town to play the
Rangers or Astros.
Or, maybe he will catch a Spurs' game and see how San Antonio
is booming. It is a great success story because Mayor Castro (Democrat) can
tell businesses from Illinois and California that taxes are low and public
sector unions are spineless in a "right to work" state.
Seriously, it may be good for President Obama to check out
Texas and see what we are doing right.
For example, Texas has the 18th best
unemployment rate in the country. We are doing a lot better than Illinois
(50) or California (48).
Of course, you need to live in Texas to understand why
businesses are moving here.
Texas has 3 big things going for it:
First, we like taxpayers NOT taxes. We want people to come
here, make money and enjoy prosperity. We think that Texas wins when people are
prosperous.
Second, we are not a heavily regulated state. No one hates
the Obama EPA more than Texans.
Third, workforce quality is second to none. We have great
companies and schools.
Let me join fellow Hispanic Senator Cruz and welcome President
Obama to Texas. Let's all remember what Senator Cruz said
today:
"Texas continues to outperform the nation in terms of economic
growth and job creation. The state’s unemployment rate has consistently remained
below the national average, currently at 6.4 percent, compared to the national
rate of 7.6 percent. Eight of the 15 fastest-growing large cities between 2010
and 2011 were in Texas. And as states with high spending and high taxes are
losing jobs, Texas is gaining them. In fact, between 2006 and 2012, Texas gained
one million jobs, while California lost 359,000 jobs. Additionally, Texas
continues to receive national accolades for its robust business climate, most
recently in a report released this week by Chief Executive Magazine, naming
Texas the best state for business for the ninth consecutive year."
