President Obama travels to Texas Tuesday to tour the U.S. southern border with Mexico for the first time as president, and though it is customary for governors to greet the president at the airport or even accompany the commanders in chief during state visits, he will not meet with Governor Rick Perry, R-Texas, on this trip.

Perry is busy shampooing his hair on that day.
I'll see if I can find a link..
The prez didn’t do the snubbing?
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I'll report, you decide. Here's more from the article:
An aide to Governor Perry tells Fox News' Mike Emanuel the White House wanted the governor to greet president Obama in El Paso. But Governor Perry, who lives and works in Austin, suggested the two meet there and possibly take an aerial tour of recent wild fire damage in Texas. Perry's spokesperson Catherine Frazier tells Fox News, "We are unable to meet the president on the tarmac out in El Paso, as the White House offered. We did alternatively offer to meet or greet the president when he arrives in Austin, or arrange a flyover of wildfire damage, but the White House declined."
And Palin & Perry have an energy-state relationship going way back.
...just saying, Texas has the strongest economy of all the other states right now.
You speak with forked tongue...you need to be a bona fide citizen to become a Texas Colonel....that has yet to be authenticated.....
Yes, Perry has his faults, but he has never been a leftie. I know his family, they were Dems until Rick switched parties. (I have been a Republican all my life, my first vote for Pres. was Nixon) But none of his family were lefties, ever.
Obozoism does not play well in Texas. You guys can talk about demographics in Texas and how the state is about to turn Blue. The only "blue" in the state is in Austin, Houston and parts of Dallas. Rednecks, Olies, Dirt Farmers, Construction Workers and other sane people HATE Obozo....
Beats the heck out of me but he's in San FranAustin tonight for a fundraiser.
Idiots everywhere.
There's no doubt that Texas has among the strongest economies among the 57 states and there are some rankings that place Texas at the very top.
A contrary view is expressed in this article that touts North Dakota as the nation's best, including the #1 job growth, lowest unemployment rate and a budget surplus. I also give ND a lot of credit on the diversity index.
Apologies to all who have seen my postings of these maps in other threads. To your point, Cindy, I think these well illustrate just where O'Bambi's hatreds lie along geographic lines:
Marxism never went over all that well here in Texas and the rest of Dixie. Freedom and liberty are cherished in the right to work states and the usurper will have none of that, will he?
Bookmark.
That other thread on the subject is timestamped 15:59 and mine was 16:04. What can I say? I type very s-l-o-w-l-y. :-)
It wasn't yet there when I started my laborious process of posting this one.
I heard that the KY gov was too busy to meet up with 0bama on Monday when he went to Ft Campbell, as well. Something about a strawberry festival or other prior commitment.
