So Mr. Secession, Mr. Kill the Innocent, Mr. Slash Education, Mr. Kids Don’t Need Health Care has entered the 2012 Presidential race.

Well, as the article says, there couldn’t be a clearer contrast between Obama and any other candidate.

While Obama points to his universal health care law as a historic achievement, Texas is often cited as an example of the need for health-care reform: A quarter of Texans lack coverage, the highest share in the country.

While Obama seeks to increase federal funding for education, Texas ranks 47th in the country for the level of state spending on schools. And while the Obama administration clamps down on pollution, Texas ranks highest in the country for the levels of toxic chemicals released into the water and carcinogens released into the air, according to Scorecard, an organization that tracks nationwide pollution data.

Scarily, even that record might not matter if the economy doesn’t show signs of improvement and the unemployment rate doesn’t start to fall.
