Good for Perry! Rick Perry Refuses Obama’s Offer To Shake His Hand When He Lands In Texas
Rick Perry Refuses Obama’s Offer To Shake His Hand When He Lands In Texas
Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) won’t be on hand to greet President Barack Obama when Air Force One lands in Austin on Wednesday.
The governor’s office says the White House extended an invitation to Perry to meet Obama on the tarmac when he arrives for Democratic fundraisers in Dallas and Austin. However, Perry refused the offer, asking instead to meet with Obama in private to discuss the high number of unaccompanied children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months.
“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 Monday in a letter to the president. “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.”
The Texas governor has been a vocal critic of the president’s handling of the situation at the border, repeatedly suggesting that the administration is “in on this somehow.”

Good for Perry and I agree with him.It would only be a stupid photo op for Obama and it would mean nothing.

What, no LOVE FIELD "Dallas LOVES you Mr. President!" feelings? Caesar O expects you to BOW and kiss his ass... The Southern borders have been invaded and he chooses NOT TO FACE REALITY... Can't wait for the TEXANS to greet Caesar, but will the libtard press cover this?

obama has snubbed Perry and Texas on several occasions. Rick owes him a good one back. Actually I just wish obama would stay out of Texas.
