Obama to pressure Perry on health care during Texas visit
Politico44 A Living Diary of the Obama Presidency ^ | 11/5/13 | JENNIFER EPSTEIN

President Barack Obama plans to call on Texas Gov. Rick Perry – one of the most prominent Obamacare foes in the country - to follow the lead of a handful of other Republican governors and agree to the expansion of Medicaid in the state as he visits Dallas on Wednesday.

"This isn’t a political issue. This is about making sure people where they live have access to good quality, affordable health care," White House deputy senior adviser for communications and strategy David Simas said Tuesday as he previewed the president's trip.

Obama will ask Perry and the Republican majority in the Texas Legislature to join with fellow Republicans in Arizona, Ohio and Michigan to expand Medicaid. Texas leaders, Simas said, should "put politics aside and not deny people health care out of ideology or politics."

Behind the scenes, Perry is probably being promised an island and a billion dollars to sell out.
Even is Perry is promised Valhalla, if he agrees, I doubt he will ever see a penny from these thugs.

Get the takers and minorities all riled-up against Perry.

HA! Like he cares what the moochers think.

And if the slugs are getting the vapors over Ricky I wonder how they will act if Greg gets elected?

Is he coming to campaign for Abortion Barbie?”

Read an article today where she is stating she is 100% pro-life and fights for children everywhere. Wonder if she is going to claim that she really didn’t say she was in favor of abortion when she spent all those hours on the Senate floor. Maybe he was giving her lessons in how to claim she was misquoted or just misspoke. Won’t work in Texas Barbie.

The only reason she is “famous” and attracting Hollywood and National $$ is her crazed defense of abortion services which was glamorized by the MSM.

Sounds like the Botox and hair dye has creamed her brainwaves.
