Down Home Resume Incudes Dry Land Farmer
Who’d make the better president, a dry land farmer or a community organizer? I’m Susan Allen stay tuned for Open Range. With Texas Governor Rick Perry jumping into the pot, for me the presidential race got a whole lot more interesting, why, because we added a dry land farmer to the mix! Since I know a lot of my Open Range listeners and friends are dry land wheat farmers…Hi Kirk, Jeff, Berk, I also personally know that “you all”, see I am already talkin Texan, not only know the value of a hard day’s work, in a crisis you think on your feet. Tom sure did last week creatively putting out that wheat fire before major damage. Putting out fires not igniting them now I’d like that in a president. The dry land farmers I know have a head for business, they have to think out side the box to keep their farms viable for generations. Now Jeff Keane in Rock Island supplements his wheat with cattle and fee chucker hunting , others of you grow canola, peas or chick peas, maybe even hedge and play the commodities market. Harvest is underway and I love that "you all" ( can't stop myself, love that Texas twang ) are putting folks to work, ah job creation, another presidential quality we could sure use. The Wall Street Journal wrote that Rick Perry has a “downhome resume”, being an Eagle Scout, Air Force pilot and the son of a dry land cotton famer. Compare that to Obama who should be back in Washington working his tail off to get our country out of this mess, but opts to spend the bulk of his time campaigning on our taxpayers dollars. Now it's just my opinion, but "hard working" , “down home” sounds "dang good" right now.
