This is a video put out by GOP Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s campaign which hammers his Democrat opponent – Bill White – for not showing up to greet his own President Obama today in Texas. The ad says Bill White can “run” but he can’t “hide” from his support of Barack Obama’s liberal policies.
The power of the ad is that it is composed of text superimposed on the fawning and mindless pro-Obama “Yes We Can” video from the 2008 campaign.
National GOP Leaders should take note of this video. There is much that could be done with the “Yes We Can” video in running against Obama in 2012.

Video of Rick Perry greeting Obama at the airport yesterday. Obama and Perry shook hands for several seconds. Obama used his free left hand to give Perry two friendly slaps on the right arm.
When they released their handshake, Perry attempted to hand Obama a white envelope containing his letter on border security. Obama did not respond when Perry first held it forward.
Governor Perry reaches into his coat pocket and grabs a letter, he then hands it to Valerie Jarrett who is behind President Obama.

Obama, Speaking to Austin Democrats, Takes a Swipe at Former President Bush
Dallas Morning News
Obama: “They know that we [Democrats] pulled the country out of the problems we were in, but they figure, ‘He’s been in office long enough. … Maybe they’ll forget”
AUSTIN — Speaking at a Democratic fund-raiser this afternoon, President Barack Obama slapped at two well-known Texas Republicans without mentioning either by name: George W. Bush, Obama’s predecessor in the White House, and Rep. Joe Barton, R-Arlington, who could chair the House energy committee if Republicans regain control of the House.
Obama addressed more than 200 supporters crowded into a ballroom at the Four Seasons Hotel. He said tauntingly that only idea Republicans have to fix the economy is to extend Bush-era tax cuts.
“They know they messed up,” he said. “And they know that we [Democrats] pulled the country out of the problems we were in. But they figure, ‘He’s been in office long enough. … Maybe they’ll forget that actually, this was the result of our [Republican] economic policies.’ ”
He added: “We have spent the last 20 months governing. They have spent the last 20 months politicking. We can politick for three months. They’ve forgotten I can politick pretty good.”

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Hugo Chavez can hand him a book on the evils of the United States and he won’t accept a personally delivered letter from the governor of Texas about border security.
Rick Perry did everything he could to get the POS Obama to at least acknowledge him, if he wouldn’t sit and talk, at least take a letter. sheesh Obama is so arrogant, so rude, so horrible!!!!! He really thinks he is the KING. GRRRRR
