I view this as a golden opportunity for Perry to proudly hold up his transcript and ask the President of the United States to provide his for review by the American people. Insist that it be a certified copy not a "copy"... I think this could be a virtual gold mine in getting the American People to finally pay attention to the obvious...
There are apparently a lot of people in the world who can’t remember Obama, plus a whole lot of people who wish they could forget him!
I did not bash Perry. I made no baseless comments about Perry. I made no hate-filled remarks toward Perry whatsoever. I simply stated that I do not support his run for president. In fact, I did exactly what you accused me of not doing: I helped expose obama’s weakness. People will go after Perry's grades and all his supporters have to say is what I posted. If stating that I don't support a certain candidate is considered bashing him, making baseless comments about him, or spewing hate against him, I suggest you find a different discussion forum that doesn't get your panties into so much of a twist.
Perhaps you were included in a list for which you should have not been included...my apologies..
I don't know if he is/was good at anything else, but McCain seemed to be good at crashing jets and was/is awesome at being shot down.
I hear Palin flies her own floatplane.
Perry is an Internationalist, not a Conservative and was an invited guest at the last Bilderberg group meeting.
If you put your eggs in his basket, either you or they are cracked.
Sorry to be so brutal ... no I’m not ... know your politicians ... follow the money.
My father flew C-130s for the 135th MD ANG. I think they are now part of the 175th. That looks like one from the 135th. Where did you get the picture? That’s pretty cool...
He liked them, but always acknowledged that the pilots had the best seats on the plane - depending upon the configuration, they could be pretty uncomfortable for the passengers. I worked with a gentleman who served a year in Vietnam as a USAF technician - they flew a C-130 to Vietnam. Said he still had bruises from that trip.
BTW, welcome to FR!

Wow, talk about horrible grades. While the next president doesn’t have to be a Road Scolar, Perry even did worse than Bush-43, and the last thing we want is another copy of that !!
That photo was obviously taken during the second half of Air Force Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT). Until a few years ago, all UPT candidates spent the first half of the program flying T-37s “Tweets,” before moving on the to T-38 Talon during the second part of the program. So Perry logged some hours in that aircraft before he became a Herk driver.
These days, a prospective C-130 pilot would start off in the T-6 Texan II, then move on to a joint, multi-engine turboprop course run by the Navy at NAS Corpus Christi. After that, it’s on to Little Rock for C-130 training. A few Herk pilots arrive at Little Rock after flying the T-1 Jayhawk during the second half of UPT.
And regardless of what you wind up flying, dummies don’t graduate from UPT.

Fighter jocks, in my humble opinion and in my experience, are a-holes anyway.
\ It's a dumb comment. How is he big government? In 2008, Texas had an $11 billion surplus before the recession kicked in.
I’ll say.
I say bring it on! At least Perry HAS transcripts!!
Man, you may hate McCain’s politics, despise his moderate republicanism; but ridicule of a man’s service and then heroic sacrifice which resulted in suffering/torture for this nation is unacceptable. You are way out of line.
He would never rock the boat.
Sarah Palin sure likes Rick Perry. What do you suppose her problem is? Why isn’t Sarah Palin as smart as you?
When she declares, CFR-Rick will fade into the background like one of his tacky pink ties.
