You would've never known the President was deep in the heart of a blood red state. If this election is going to be close you would have never known it by all the cheering thousands who showed up to catch a glimpse of or to hear the President speak. It was awesome to watch. The embarrassment we call Rick Perry made an ass of himself just like he always does. Instead of meeting the President at the airport to welcome him to Texas he made an announcement on the news demanding the President apologize for Holder calling the new Texas voter identification law a poll tax which of course, it is.
The Republican governor of Texas today welcomed President Obama to the Lone Star State by asking him to distance himself from comments made by Attorney General Eric Holder comparing the state’s 2011 voter identification law to a “poll tax,” the Jim Crow-era laws that were declared unconstitutional in 1937. “Perhaps while the President is visiting Texas, he can take a break from big-dollar fundraisers to disavow his Attorney General’s offensive and incendiary comments regarding our common-sense voter identification law,” Gov. Rick Perry said in a statement. “In labeling the Texas voter ID law as a ‘poll tax,’ Eric Holder purposefully used language designed to inflame passions and incite racial tension. It was not only inappropriate, but simply incorrect on its face. The president should apologize for Holder’s imprudent remarks and for his insulting lawsuit against the people of Texas.”
The President never even mentioned Perry's name I'm extremely happy to report.
This deserves at least one...YEE HAW!!!!
