Rick Perry is Now Asking President Obama for Funds From Obamacare (Poll) [View all]

Texas Governor Rick Perry is at it again, and by “at it” I mean acting like a complete hypocrite. The governor who has made a career out of attacking Washington is once again seeking money from Washington.

The governor that:

* Opposed the 2009 stimulus bill, while using funds from it to balance his budgets, then bragged about his balanced budget during his 2010 campaign.
* Talks about the massive spending in Washington, yet each time some kind of disaster happens within his state is quickly asking for money from the federal government.
* Speaks often about “Constitutional values” and “small government” while passing laws which massively inject government into the private lives of women, restricts voting rights and opposes gay rights based on a violation of our First Amendment...

But his blatant hypocrisy is absolutely astounding. A man who’s done as much as possible to sabotage and oppose the law, once calling it a “monstrosity,” is now asking for $100 million from the Obama administration to help the elderly and disabled in Texas...

In other words: “Oh we meant to do this before, and had plans to do this before, but thanks to Obamacare we now have the funding to do so. But the law is still terrible!”
