Chew on that Obummer.
A sign outside a business in West Tisbury, Mass., welcomed the Obamas to Marthas Vineyard for their 10 day stay.
>>>Texas Gov. Rick Perry has picked up two important endorsements in South Carolina for his 2012 presidential campaign.
Longtime state legislator David Wilkins, who played a big role in George W. Bushs White House races, says hes signing onto Perrys bid. And Harvey Peeler, majority leader in the state Senate, is jumping on the Perry bandwagon, too.
Wilkins, who rose to House speaker before Bush named him ambassador to Canada, and Peeler are the most notable backers to announce their support for a candidate in early primary-voting South Carolina.
Both endorsements came even though U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint of encouraged fellow leading Republicans in South Carolina to hold off for now on making endorsements.<<<

>>>>>Rick Perry picks up big endorsement in South Carolina>>>>COLUMBIA, S.C. Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry stayed on script during two appearances in Florence Friday morning, attacking President Barack Obama on job creation while touting his own record for job creation as governor of Texas.
In doing so, Perry, governor of Texas, picked up a key endorsement from Florence physician Eddie Floyd, one of the states most influential Republican fundraisers. Floyd introduced Perry at Carolinas Hospital Systems as the next president of the United States.
......About 500 people crowded into Bazens Family Restuarant for Perrys appearance in Florence.
Another 300 had to wait outside because of fire safety rules. <<<...........
A debatable point. However, how is it even possible for illegal aliens to serve in the US military?
Sounds like Perry wants to use the 10th amendment to give him cover for amnesty and other goodies for illegals. He just went down considerably in my estimation.

Well, Perry isn't Commander in Chief so.....the FEDERAL government???
What other "goodies?"
What the hell are illegal aliens doing in the U.S. military? What Social Security number are they using? Somebody needs to go to jail.
Exactly, it is a slippery and dangerous slope, allowing those people into the military, that are not citizens in the first place. We are on the path to having a mercenary army folks.
But in South Carolina Saturday, he said he supported a main tenet of that bill -- that illegal immigrants can earn their citizenship by serving honorably in the military
There is no indication in the article the illegals are serving, just that serving in the military would be a path to citizenship for them. I am not sure if I support that or not, but certainly its a far cry from amnesty.
Exactly! Some heads need to roll on that issue alone.
They are being allowed to serve. Perhaps someone with more information on how that’s done could enlighten us.
This was a provision of the Dream Act...Harry Reid's Dream Act. But RINO Rick has a Dream Act of his own so he apparently thinks it's okay. Given that he is pro-ILLEGAL alien...why wouldn't he?

but...i thought he was “not all all like Bush” ?
picking up endorsements from career Bush politicians, establisment entrenched Republicans.
...not Tea Party!!!
not the people who want the goverment REFORMED.
who want spending CUT.
and people like DeMint, Palin, Michelle Malkin, Mark Levine, are also NOT endorsing him.
Is it that we’ve got more military jobs than Americans to fill them?
No, I didn’t think so.
Doing jobs Americans won’t do?
I don’t believe recruiters can recruit illegals. So....
Smacks of England using Hessians during the Revolution.
Illegal aliens should not be in the military. Period. End of story. They should be expelled when found out. From the military and the country.
More support for ILLEGAL aliens from RINO Rick.
