DALLAS – Texas Gov. Rick Perry, in a Friday afternoon speech that sounded a lot like presidential red meat, accused President Barack Obama of overstepping his constitutional authority and abdicating national defense at home and abroad.

“American leadership is needed now more than ever. Presidential leadership is needed now more than ever,” Perry told nearly 3,000 activists gathered in a hotel ballroom here for a summit organized by the Koch brothers-backed Americans for Prosperity.

Perry scolded Obama for dropping the ball on ISIS, and on border security.

“ISIS is not the junior varsity. It is a clear and present danger to the free world,” he said. “And Mr. President, the peace of the free world requires presidential decisiveness, not dithering and debating.”

1. Red meat or unmitigated bullshit?

It is like Eastwood and 'invisible Obama' 24/7 with these Republican nuts.

[hibbing]

2. ooohhh...he scolded him!

Did he switch out his glasses to some schoolmarm ones before he did that?



Peace

3. What red meat

Is he referring to his ass after the spanking he got from the Grand Jury.

4. Hey ricky

I really think you have more pressing things to worry with right now, like keeping your sorry ass our of a long term jail cell

[SoapBox]

5. Hell, this Jackass would walk all over The Constitution

in a heartbeat.

[Blue Idaho]

6. Blah blah blah, freedom. Blah, blah, blah, liberty. Blah blah blah decisiveness...

Rick, why don't you tell us all about your foreign policy experience... And sending the Texas Guard to a fence doesn't count.

Like most of the TeaPublican field Ricky is long on claptrap and short on specifics.

7. Rick's turn to kiss Mammon's feet.

Bow you swine!

[Gothmog]

8. Please let Perry be the GOP 2016 nominee

Perry is an idiot and it would be fun watching him fall apart in 2016

9. He's sure as hell not taking care of those National Guard personnel.

Those 1000 National Guardsmen he sent to the Rio Grande border haven't been paid yet---and now some of them are starting to turn up at area food banks, just to get something to eat. And Perry wants to be president, with his finger on the big trigger? I don't think so.
