FULL TITLE: Rick Perry Rejects Obama’s Offer to Shake His Hand on the Tarmac — Here’s the Texas Governor’s Counteroffer

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) has reportedly rejected President Barack Obama’s offer to briefly shake hands when Air Force One lands in Austin on Wednesday. Instead, the governor came back with a counteroffer.

“I appreciate the offer to greet you at Austin-Bergstrom Airport, but a quick handshake on the tarmac will not allow for a thoughtful discussion regarding the humanitarian and national security crises enveloping the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas,” Perry wrote in a letter to Obama. “I would instead offer to meet with you at any time during your visit to Texas for a substantive meeting to discuss this critical issue.”

Oboma is looking for a photo op which will go similar to the one in AZ a few years ago which his sycophant press will play on and on about how those white people just being racist against him and talking down to him. President empty suit cannot have a meeting because he has ability to have an independent thought. His idea of compromise is I talk you listen and agree, period.

Hmmm. What would I do?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Obama, but for your own safety, please do not allow me close enough to break off your arm..."

"...and shove it up your, uh, nose."

I’m sure there are actions Perry could take. Maybe call out the National Guard. Maybe a legal section against the feds. Seems to me all Perry wants to do is talk.

You can say the same about 90% of the GOPe.

He should meet him. As he reaches out his hand, uppercut! Then have the Rangers drags his sorry butt up the stairs by the ankles, throw him back in AF1 and tell the pilot to GTFO of Texas!

Well played. Why be stuck waiting for the photop and talk for 30 mins of him yammering. Come back when you are ready to fix the problem.

Pray America is waking
