"This isn't theater. This is a problem," Obama said. "I'm not interested in photo ops, I'm interested in solving a problem."

Obama said Perry suggested he act on his own to deal with the border crisis. "I had to remind him, I'm getting sued right now," the president said, referring to a lawsuit being planned by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) for executive actions.

Obama raised the concern his request for border funding may be blocked by Republicans simply because they oppose him.

"If I sponsored a bill declaring apple pie American, it might fall victim to partisan politics," he said. "I get that. On the other hand, this is an issue in which my Republican friends have said it's urgent and we need to fix it. If that's the case, let's go ahead and fix it."

2. The whole "Obama is a dictator" thing is backfiring on the fascists it seems....will the media

Oh, and this is priceless...

Perry has been particularly critical of Obama, accusing him of incompetence and possibly conspiracy in dealing with the border crisis.
