When President Barack Obama travels, he is often greeted by governors. He won't be on Wednesday in Texas.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a vocal critic of Obama's handling of the crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border, declined an official White House invitation to meet the president when he lands in Austin, saying he would like a more "substantive meeting."
“I appreciate the offer to greet you at Austin-Bergstrom Airport," Perry wrote in a letter to Obama published by the Austin American-Statesman (http://www.statesman.com/news/news/state-regional-govt-politics/perry-to-obama-no-totarmac-handshake-yes-to-though/ngbBt/), "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."
The president is scheduled to attend Democratic fundraisers in the Lone Star State on Tuesday and Wednesday.
“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 Republican governor wrote. "With the appropriate notice, I am willing to change my schedule to facilitate this request.”

Apparently Obama would prefer not to see just how bad the problem really is. No surprise there.

Well the fund raiser and chief is not going to get involved in a real discussion on immigration is he?

Then he might have to tell people why they defunded the fence?

Imagine, Obama wants to bullshit. Perry wants to find out why his state is not protected.

Wait, Obama came to pick up cash.

Oh well.

Sorry Perry, Obama has important things to do.

The Presidents role is to serve, not to command.

She had the balls to remind him of that.

Don't be so butthurt.

Obama will avoid any meeting or any place where he is sure to be questioned and chastized. Other than Austin and certain parts of Houston and Dallas, he is not welcome in Texas....and he knows it.

You would think that by his posts, wouldn't you? But it is more likely that he is just some clown who gets his rocks off by trying to piss people off. He is a good example of the idea that nature does indeed make mistakes from time to time.

And so the trap is sprung.

No they need him to get out of the way. If he does not want to enforce the laws on the boarder, then he should not sue the people that are going to do his job for them!
