Yeah...it’s interesting how Perry asks that Obama call out the National Guard for border control....
but he fails to do anything himself. What’s he waiting for? Christmas? Or is he just doing a little lip service to make it appear as if he’s concerned about the Texas border? Not convincing, Rick.
It's kabuki play — he's saying stuff, refusing to do what he can, and making it seem like his hands are tied.
This is a common tactic in Congress with things that are their responsibility but whith which they wish to avoid accountability — they can't regulate the Dollar's value, because that's the Federal Reserve's job (and they can't audit the reserve either, because of… reasons), Carbon Credits too wonky to force on the general population? No problem! Just have the EPA make regulation changes and keep funding them even while whining and throwing a [for show] temper-tantrum. The public is upset about the NSA collecting all their information? Make some semi-outraged statements, make some excuses (terrorists, don'cha know!), and then continue funding the agency. And so on, and so on.
