If the only way Perry can muster the gumption to take on Obama is because of his own political ambitions rather than because it's the right thing to do, perhaps he should continue to mind his own business in Texas. Was he really only "minding his own business" or was it fear? Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin thought it was worth getting involved and taking on Obama's disastrous policies. The Johnny-come-lately types don't impress me much.
