The White House requested that Perry meet Obama on the tarmac Wednesday as he gets off Air Force One on his way to Democratic fundraisers in Texas,
Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry refused to greet President Barack Obama at a tarmac photo-op this week, and instead challenged Obama to hold a “substantive meeting” with him to discuss the illegal immigration crisis currently engulfing states along the U.S.-Mexico border.
quote:
“I appreciate the offer to greet you at Austin-Bergstrom Airport, but a quick handshake on the tarmac will not allow for a thoughtful discussion regarding the humanitarian and national security crises enveloping the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas,” Perry wrote to Obama in a letter Monday. “I would instead offer to meet with you at any time during your visit to Texas for a substantive meeting to discuss this critical issue.”

No that thread was about how Perry refused to shake Obama's hand.

Agreed.
But it is a first page topic still (even though it is erroneous in the title).
Push.

What does Rick need the Feds for?

Maybe he doesn't need them. Maybe they are obstructing and he wants them out of the way. Do you think that if Texas called in the National Guard to defend the border that the Feds wouldn't try to stop them?

I don't really care about this issue and I'm a tax-paying Texan.
Is that good enough?

Perry said there were three reasons he wouldn't meet Obama at the airport.
First, he didn't want to give Obama a photo op.
Second, he wanted instead to have a substantive meeting with Obama to discuss the immigration problem facing Texas.
Third, well......he can't remember the third reason.

Rick should handle it like the boss he claims to be.
Rick Perry is fricking goon and a former Cheerleader.

How would this happen? Obama going to send in the military against the Texas National Guard. A war in Texas because Texas is trying to defend the border? Our military fighting our military so illegals can come into America? That's fricked up!
