He may have a guardasil problem (and others), but that statement isn't accurate. You ARE aware that he met obama personally on the Austin airport tarmac and handed him a letter asking for more federal help?
Rick Perry meets and greets Obama on Monday at airport in Austin Texas
The letter (pdf file on the texas website)
On the same day he gave obama's people the letter (aug 2010), he made a speech talking about it, which you can watch on that same .tx.us website (scroll down and look in right margin) here
He's been hell-bent on doing everything he can do to stop the illegals and Mexican gangs at the border, but our funds and available options are limited at the state level. It's one of the main reasons he's itching for "THE Fight" against obama. In his mind, i'm sure it would be sweet justice and payback for ignoring our problem down here.
I am aware, and I am glad he did it. But it was sybolic with no teeth behind it.
I WANT the guy to go hardcore with every ounce of his Governor’s authority and assert Texas’ 10th amendment rights. He can and should. But he isn’t. That’s the core of my problem. There are a million things that he could do, all of them ‘painful’ to say “ENOUGH!”
Picture A Washington or a Reagan in his position. Would they stop at a meaningless letter with no teeth to it?
I wish they ALL would.
