Bill O'Reilly presses Perry on 'Lazy' ad

Fox News' Bill O'Reilly pressed Rick Perry tonight on his "Lazy" ad, questioning the candidate about whether the spot - which takes out of context a line President Obama made about selling America overseas as a good place to do business - is "fair."

Via ABC News, Perry insisted it was:

“Yeah it’s a fair ad absolutely,” Perry said on “The O’Reilly Factor” Friday evening. “This president’s traveled around the country making excuses for America, apologizing for America, saying that America is not an exemplary country, and then he gets on TV and talks about that Americans are lazy, that they’ve lost their ambition, that they’ve lost their imagination.”

Even after Bill O’Reilly played President Obama’s entire comments, which show the president was referencing the government and business sector not Americans, Perry still clung to his belief.

“He said we’ve been a little lazy,” Perry said. “I think he’s talking about Americans.”

“Do you really?” O’Reilly asked. “Is that what you took away from that?”

“Absolutely,” Perry said. “I think that’s exactly what he’s talking about. I think this is a man who really, if he believed that Americans were hardworking, that they were ready to ignite this economy, then we wouldn’t have the tax policy, wouldn’t have the regulatory policies in place that are killing jobs in this country.”
