Do ya think Texas would have to increase all of your taxes to cover wildfires if there was no federal taxes/FEMA?

Did Obama leave the country for weeks on end?

I want to remind you that all of America is Obama's domain. Obama must also travel out of county for foreign policy issues.

Obama is president of the country. Perry is governor of a state. Obama didn't leave his citizens, Perry did.

Don't be silly. All the levers of government are in Wasshington. While Obama is selling himself at Wall Stret fund raiders, he has abandoned his constituents.

I guess now you're starting to figure out why I've been asking you for a real number when talking about money paid to TX by FEMA.

Texas trades with every state in the US and tons of other countries, we have one of the largest ocean ports in the US. This ain't Wisconsin we're talking about.

Obama has never been with his citizens and as a resident of TX I don't feel like Perry left us at all. Since I live here and you don't my opinion matters and yours doesn't.
