Ring. Ring. General MacArthur, Harry Truman On Line 1
.
Well, apparently Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry does not know about bringing the mountain to Mohamed. You can add that to the long list of things he does not know.
Last week, President of the Entire United States of America Barack Obama was in El Paso, Texas. Meanwhile Rick Perry was on a motorcycle trip with one on his friends. I do not know if they were hiking the Appalachian Trail. And, frankly, I don’t want to know.
It seems that Rick Perry was peeved at the President of the Entire United States of America Barack Obama for not giving Texas more of that nasty evil horrible socialist federal disaster money. So, Rick Perry did the logical thing – he went on Fox News and whined. Well, to be honest, it was on the Laura Ingraham show where whining is the mood du jour every damn day, so in Rick’s defense, I think it might have been required.
Anyway, President Barack Obama had asked Rick to join him in El Paso.
Regarding not meeting the President when he flew from El Paso to Austin, Perry indicated he was put off that Obama would not fly over the wildfire damage with him. He said when he’d asked for a meeting to discuss concerns, he was told that time could be arranged only when Obama was in El Paso and that the governor would need to fly and meet the president there.
And then he added —-
Perry said he didn’t have time to fly up to El Paso for a handshake. (Actually, the San Antonio Express-News got the gov’s office to fess up that Perry at the time was riding motorcycles with friend and advisor Jay Kimbrough.)
But Perry told Ingraham, “If he wanted to meet – I was in Austin. I would have been here.”
I would like to remind Governor Easy Rider that El Paso is in Texas, and Barack Obama is the Damn President of the United States of America.
