Perry Slams Obama Over Downed Drone: "This President Is The Problem"

December 10th, 2011

"The idea this president now, with Iran getting one of our predator drones in their possession, and he had opportunities -- he had two choices. Actually, he had three. He chose the worse. And those two opportunities he had was to either retrieve that drone or to destroy it. And he did the worst of the three. And he did absolutely nothing. And the Russians and the Chinese will have our highly technical equipment now. This president is the problem, not something Newt Gingrich said."

He hit it out of the park!

Grand Slam!

He got the loudest and the most sustained applause for taking it to Obama over the drone!

He basically said he would have destroyed the payload rather than hand it to our enemys.

It would help Perry’s chances if he knew the difference between a Predator and a Sentinel.

I'd be more worried if whoever he appointed as Sec. of Defense didn't know the difference between a Predator and a Sentinel.

I agree, and I think he did well speaking from the heart.
He showed America who he is tonight.

Yeah, he stammers a bit and sometimes he gets off topic, but he is who he is, you can trust this guy.

He doesn’t come on stage with talking points and BS

Do you know what the Q stands for?

One of the most important points made all evening.
You can bet it won’t make one TV show outside of Fox.

Ditto, that was his best line and overall he faired well.

Very good.

I thought the debate tonight was pretty lame but it did afford Perry some good moments.

I think he wasted some good opportunity’s too, but He is still my fave.

I think he knows what needs to be done.

Prolly destroyed the drone at the very least.

Perry hit the ball out of the park for a touchdown! He dunked a hole in one!

The media had Newt and Romney bickering over Israel, then Perry came from out of nowhere and put all the blame on Obama.

Huge applause.

This was Perry’s best debate performance. I think he helped his chances.

I thought it interesting that Bachmann is now a fan of 9-9-9. She’s the one that said “the devil’s in the details”, wonder if she’s vying for an endorsement.
