LOS ANGELES, CaliforniaIn an exclusive interview at Breitbart News Network's headquarters, Texas Gov. Rick Perry said President Barack Obama would cement a legacy of being the worst president in American history if he moves forward on executive amnesty.
"I don't think this man wants to go down as the absolute worst president in the United States although the jury is still out on that," Perry said, adding that if Obama moves forward on executive amnesty "he will be guaranteed that slot. Because the American people will not accept an executive order that basically takes our constitution and throws it out the window. They will not accept that."
Perry, considering a repeat presidential bid in 2016, had just spoken at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library for an event celebrating the 50th anniversary of Reagan's famous "A Time For Choosing" speech. Among his scalding criticisms of Obama, Perry explained the president's failings as due to his background as a U.S. senator something that happens to apply to several of his would-be challengers for the GOP presidential nomination.

All other qualifications being equal, I would prefer a governor over a senator because of the executive experience.
In reality candidates for president don’t have the exact same qualifications, so being a senator or governor probably wouldn’t be a tie breaker.
That is legitimately frightening.
Truly, you have insulted the despicable the world over! ;D)
He said he’s not even going to try for Majority Leader.
I did my best... LOL
Man, what a gorgeous scenario.
Ain’t gonna happen, but it’s a pleasant daydream...
Looking sharp amigos...
I believe the one person on the Gop- side who would cause more problems for the conservatives in 2015/2016 (like his dad) will be Paul from Kentucky. He will call out his dad’s little army. He doesn’t like Cruz. I have watched him flip flop back and forth to align on issues with McCain and Schumer. I hope he gets knocked out early.
A Tory Democrat, as I understand the term, is someone who supports traditional institutions, centralized government and concern for the less fortunate. Examples are Benjamin Disraeli and Winston Churchill.
Can you explain how Rick Perry could be called a Tory Democrat?
Perry is Right!
He'll have to quit first.
... or did you really mean a Blue Dog Democrat.
Brilliant.
I agree with Perry even thou I like Ted Cruz no senator in american history has ever made a good President. Believe me ive looked them all up and all their presidency’s have been mediocre to bad. I think Senators bring with them legislative and pardon experience that greatly detracts from job as Cheif Exclusive over all theses united States.
For the record house members anrt much better. The best presidents either come from the outside or from the States, most commonly the Governors.
Which won't be 'LaRaza Rick' Perry.
Your absolute right im glad someone here has done the same research I have. No senator has ever made a good president. Something about the skill set and experience always makes them poor at the job.
> I certainly would support Cruz, but deep down I think he would do more good as Majority Leader, to keep the POTUS in line.
I think you are right and events seem to be lining up to suggest that may be what he wants as well.
Are you implying that 'LaRaza Rick' Perry will suddenly (and finally) find the stones to stop the illegal invasion at the Texas/Mexico border?
I don't know that I'd believe it, even if I saw it.
