Perry rejects Obama's "offer" to shake hands on the tarmac at Austin on Wednesday

I like it.

“I appreciate the offer to greet you at Austin-Bergstrom Airport, 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,” Perry wrote in a letter to Obama. “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.”

Maybe we'll get lucky and the Texas Air National Guard will treat AF1 as a terrorist threat and....

Obama's too busy stumping for the DNC and playing golf to address any issues of national importance.

Gov. Perry wrote the president a letter in 2012 about this issue, asking for the feds to simply enforce the laws that were on the books. The "arrogant empty suit" didn't respond, never even acknowledged the letter. Now the president wants to be all chummy and photo-opish?

I don't blame Perry one little bit. There's no amount of soap that would clean that hand afterward.

Obama wins the empty suit hands down. Perry's hair, on the hand, makes Jimmy Johnson & Cam Brady blush.

I'm guessing that BO is about to enter therapy over this snub

Actually I think many Democrats are bothered by it, and stunning is a pretty good word for it.

I am beginning to think that the POTUS has already reckoned himself a lame duck, and is taking advantage of the last few months of relative liberty before the anticipated GOP victories in the fall. "Going it alone" is a calculated tack, as it allows disaffected Dems (or Dems with disaffected constituents) to distance themselves without provoking intra-party warfare. While I understand the political reasoning, I also think he has probably outstripped even his base support on a couple of issues. This is one.

This would usually give me butt hurt, because I respect the office, but I feel Obama has stiffed enough people to deserve this.

They burned the last remaining "respect of the office" a long time ago.

Well, we know what Obama is doing in Austin...fundraising as suspected.

I don't blame Gov Perry one ioat for not shaking the terrorist hands, there's blood on those hands, and will be more blood on his hands well after he leaves office..They're constantly finding those tunnels coming from Mexico into America, I saw on 20/20 a couple months ago, and some of those tunnels had wi-fi & air conditioning in them..And they were plenty big enough for terrorist to smuggle in bought nuclear weapons..Scary stuff to think about..It really really is..

You meant they were big enough for terrorists to have smuggled in nuclear weapons. Unfortunately, me thinks the weapons are here. What two cities, if nuked could cripple the US?

My guesses are NY and Houston. NY for the financial markets, Houston for the oil/energy. NYC also has the largest concentration of Jews in the US so now NYC gets an extra mark from the muslims to get nuked.

So your a toady for the Chamber of Crony Commerce.

that doesn't mean you support annihilation of the rule of law. If you don't control your borders you don't have a country. This is so shocking and beyond the pale that it will backfire badly and soon.

I'm conservative and very hawkish on border security and even I am willing to discuss ways to work with the folks here AFTER we secure the border.

We have 1983 to know we cannot trust any other scenario but this level on anarchy is incredibly dangerous on SO many levels.
