The only politician to meet and greet the President when he landed in Texas the other day was....nope it wasnt any Democrat (hmm, wonder why), it was the Republican Governor Rick Perry.

Gov. Perry attempted to talk to Obama about a few things and attempted to hand him a letter. Barry, the ever so bi-partisan that he is , did not take the letter.

He couldnt spend more than two minutes with the Governor?! Nope he had to go to .......... FUND RAISERS!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! More money for politicians to spread lies.

Obama shows over and over again where his priorities are. Some just dont wish to see its not with the American people. Its not with leading by example.

Haha yeah, I saw that video of him immediately moving on to shake the next guy's hand when Perry attempted to engage him in a conversation and hand him the letter. Valerie Jarret ended up taking it, so I'm sure she passed it on. What a slap in the face to the only politician willing to meet the guy on the tarmac.

lol Yeah, im sure Valerie "Commie loving" Jarret read it and passed it right to Barry urging him to read it. She probably wiped her socialist behind with it and flushed it.

This guy's priorities are astounding. Sure, dont take time to actually talk with the ONLY person to greet you when you arrived. Go off to your stupid fundraisers. Sacrifice? Where is it? Arent we suppose to be sacrificing in this economy? This guy isnt making trips to get anything done. Hes wasting tax payer money during a bad economic time, to raise money for politicians! Or to go on vacation. Or to try and tout "all the good" hes done.

And the meetup on the tarmac was AFTER Obama turned down a meeting invitation from Perry.
Obama is definitely a partisan President and doesn't hesitate to show it in public.

Perry is lucky that President Obama even shook his hand; a hick Republican who prefers to execute the mentally-retarded [has executed 200 people since governor; way more than all other states combined], wants to re-criminalize gay relationships, promotes ignorant "creationism" in school textbooks, turned down $555 million in federal stimulus money depriving his state's unemployed, believes only Christians will go to heaven by commenting that Jews were the same as Taliban, does not believe in science, wants Texas to succeed from the nation, etc. In other words, not the brightest star out there [MOD CUT/flaming] duh!

See, that's the beauty of America. I can choose to live in conservative Texas while you choose to live in liberal California. Why can't we celebrate that fact and not that we're not as liberal as California ?

If you can celebrate having an idiot like Perry for governor than you deserve him!
