WOODSIDE, Calif. (AP) -- President Barack Obama is swiping at Texas Gov. Rick Perry, criticizing him as "a governor whose state is on fire, denying climate change."

Obama also poked at the audience reactions at recent GOP presidential debates, singling out those who cheered at the prospect of someone dying because he didn't have health insurance - and those who booed a gay service member.

That's not a "swipe", that's a "non sequitur".

So if we believe in climate change, it will rain?

I kinda want Perry to win just so everyone will whine about a Texas president again.

This guy is completely lost. The economy is shot, millions unemployed, the middle east is on the verge of starting WW3 with Israel, and he is concerned about making Al Gore money.

>>> I kinda want Perry to win just so everyone will whine about a Texas president again. <<<

Seriously, that’s funny! :) Blood in the water and Obama wants to finish the only JOBS guy off with the record of JOBS, before Perry could bury him on the issue of JOBS, since the nation is out of JOBS and needs someone who can do JOBS, AND who wipes out Obama’s strangle hold on Hispanics for an encore. Come back, Rick.

This really is the only arrow Zero has in his quiver — to criticize, mock and flat-out lie about his opponents. He has a pathetic record to run on...uglier, flatter and more repulsive than Debbie Blabbermouth-Schlitz’s hair on Helen Thomas’ head.

At some point independents and even moderate dems will tire of the scare tactics, criticism and promises and really, truly think about what this dope has done in the past four years. Then he loses. Big.

Perry ping.

Obama’s lack of decency knows no bounds — he is making fun of the devastating wild fires in Texas.

‘President Barack Obama is swiping at Texas Gov. Rick Perry, criticizing him as “a governor whose state is on fire, denying climate change.” ‘

did you read Noonan’s wsj article? Obama’s WH was so incompetent that they really wanted to push global warming as their key issue. Obama picked healthcare instead.

Danny Glover thinks global warming causes earthquakes.
Morgan Freeman thinks the tea party is racist because they refuse to accept Obama’s lunacy. And Obama is just a dumbass.

"a governor whose state is on fire, denying climate change."

I'm sure ginning up Global Warming will excite a lot of unemployed and underemployed. Is this guy for real? Feel free to attack Perry on that. I'm sure he has a few issues about how you have destroyed the economy in the US you loser.

Give Obama a break.

He’s still struggling on who slept with his mother.

What a piece of human garbage.

When he is defeated, he isn't going to leave willingly, is he?

Wow! There's a lot of goodies here for the Palin-haters, Perry-haters, Cain-deniers, Romneybots, Palinbots, Ron Paulistas... just when I thought we would be out of material to destroy our own party Obama gives us more arsenal for our war chests...

May the imploding begin...

Me, I'll limit my targeting our candidates (just in case I'm forced to support one of them after they become the nominee). Perhaps I'll do something different like... look up negative things on Obama.

Thanks for the post. It's always a good thing to know what the enemy is saying and planning. And Obama is the real enemy of America.

IIRC, he actually did the middle finger thing, when he was campaigning, and right after saying Hillary Clintons name.......

This latest drivel from 'Obama The Job-Killer' is indicative of how he'll run his campaign. Because he has nothing but failure on his presidential record all he can do is snip about relatively trivial nonsense as he did in this instance. Global warming has become a punch line and if Obama wants to base his re-election on his approval of homosexual behavior he is welcome to do so if he believes the gay vote will be his ticket to re-election. From the chaos in the middle east that Obama's inane policies have helped ignite to the economic meltdown in the U.S. that Obama's inane polices have amplified and extended beyond tolerance, he is shaping up as the worst U.S. president in the past 100 years, at least.

Yet despite that reality Obama's response is to carp about inconsequential things such as a few boos when a gay soldier brought up DADT in a political meeting or to reference the wildfires in Texas and make a ridiculous attempt to link them to the now-discredited 'climate change' theory to disparage Texas Governor Rick Perry. If this all the Smartest Man in America and the geniuses in the Obama White House can come up with, this campaign is going be boring because Obama won't have a prayer and all the phony polls and media cheerleading won't save him, no matter how many votes the unions steal for him on election day. Obama is finished and his latest lame and ineffectual attempt to attack Republicans proves it.
