Buftex Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 (edited) What if Texas had seceded as Governor Perry had wanted? Education crisis doesn't warrant him getting money that's just sitting there from the federal government. Who needs the federal government? Texas certainly doesn't. Oh, but now Perry thinks it's fine to ask President Obama for federal assistance b/c an effective response to the wildfires are "beyond the capabilities of the state" which flies in the face of his "we-don't-need-federal-government!" argument. Another tough talker who isn't so tough... http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/18/us-texas-wildfires-idUSTRE73H3QL20110418 Edited April 18, 2011 by Buftex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realize, after taking this anti-government funds stance, to appease the tea party, Perry has repeatedly asked for federal funds...I have nothing against asking for aid for something like devastating fires, but lets be honest about what is going on here, and many other Republican controled states...

Chef Jim Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Otherwise known as "Obama being Obama." I like the fact that it was obvious the interview was over as Obama was taking off his mic but they aired it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buftex Posted April 20, 2011 Author Share Posted April 20, 2011 I think more than that Obama came across as quite a little whiney !@#$ in that interview. Especially at the end "off camera." He was respectful enough of the reporter to wait until it was over...I would think you, of all people here, would appreciate some decorum. I am always trying to find redeeming qualities about you, but you make it difficult... Otherwise known as "Obama being Obama." It's beyond hopeless for LA!

IDBillzFan Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 It's beyond hopeless for LA! Oh, please. There are many examples of Obama coming across as absolutely incredulous that anyone -- anyone at all -- won't allow him to fill an entire seven-minute interview with a single seven-minute answer. It's increasingly obvious to anyone who doesn't have their nose up Obama's ass that as a person he is, without question, a leaderless whiny little B word who's really only good at dividing people, embarrassing colleagues, giving condescending speeches, delelgating concepts, and blaming all failures on somebody else. You don't need to be a right-wing teabagging Islamophoic racist teacher-hating grandma-starving genius like me to see this. Many on the left see this as well. Which is why he currently has the the same approval rating as a gallon of gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Jim Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Eh...I guess I just don't see it... Because you have not experienced the attitude of the Hollywood celebrity like I have. People talk over each other all the time or don't allow people to finish their answers. Only someone with the attitude of "how dare you" would have felt the need to say what Obama said at the end of that interview. It's not the attitude of a leader.
