Let’s remember the name of his “hunting camp.”

A Texas Republican like Prick Berry – whose family had wonderful old fashioned religulosity and Southern racist values ingrained in them and named their family ranch with a racial epithet – wear their ignorance, their small minds and their mean spirits as a badge of honor.

I’d like to be a fly on the wall in that private meeting. My guess it would be Perry lobbing whiny and near nonsensical questions and accusations at Obama. Followed by Obama explaining the situation in specifics and detail, and what can/can’t be done from the perspective of the highest office. Everything going over Perry’s head. Nothing meaningful would get discussed.

You know if I had a camp called “niggerhead”, I might want to shake a black president’s hand just to show that I’m not a racist asshole.

Just a thought—something that Perry is unfamiliar with.

Classy. What happened to Little Ricky’s secession plan?

Ordinarily I would think Perry is making a show for the racist base of the Republican party, but then I remembered he is from Texas. Yep, he is just that petty and stupid.

Wendy Davis should show up instead. I think it is a mistake for Texas Dems to be afraid to be seen with the president.

I’m actually surprised that bigoted, clueless and wholly socially tone deaf RicKKK Perry didn’t try to arrange a meeting with President Obama at the governor’s “Niggerhead Camp.”

"Unfortunately, the Tea Mob to which I am wholly indebted for my presidential delusions ‘will not allow for a thoughtful discussion’.

I assume he wanted to touch his head. You know, to commemorate the Good Old Days.

Maybe the lying fool that Perry is, is afraid to look President Obama in the eye in public.

I can only imagine the uproar if a Dem governor did this to a GOP president.

Remind me again about Obama not doing enough to reach out to the other side. I guess they didn’t teach common decency in the Perry household.

Translation: I’m a gutless weasel trying to appeal to a bigoted and insane voting base – one that will deep-six my Presidential hopes in a heartbeat if I even touch the icky Black Man.

Obama should deny his request for a “private” meeting. Just go to Tejas and do the fundraisers and go back home, totally ignoring the ignoramus…
