The White House says Gov. Rick Perry was offered but declined to meet with Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano and a top adviser to President Barack Obama on border issues.
The Democratic president on Tuesday spent more than an hour in El Paso to thank Fort Bliss troops for their service in Iraq, then headed back to Washington.
Perry spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger on Monday said the GOP governor had sought to meet with Obama during the Texas trip, but aides said the president would not be available.
White House spokeswoman Moira Mack says Perry declined a meeting with Napolitano and John Brennan, the president's top homeland security aide.

Why should Perry waste his time with two clowns who aren’t serious about the subject?
Good! He needs to meet with BAmadingalong
Perhaps Perry should have suggested they go golfing together to get time with him.
This is the second time he has blown off our Governor. It hasn’t gone unnoticed.
beat me to it.
spot on.
demonstrates that perry is competent and rational.
If he isn't offered a meeting with the Presdient instead of his aides, he's being insulted.
Agreed, you don’t meet with these laugh dog; the President is responsible of protecting our safety then he need to meet with the Governor of Texas not those two clowns.
LIE, Lying, LIARS
OH yes......
Obama is too busy getting taxpayers to pay for his fundraising trips. He doesn’t have any time to actually do the job of PRESIDENT. Certainly no face time with members of the “other” party.
Rick Perry ROCKS
Perry tried to get a meeting with 0dumbo when 0dumbo came o Dallas. the POS Chimp refused.
So Perry offered to meet him at Ft Bliss or anywhere in El Paso
0dumbo has refused to meet with Perry and tries to foist off his incompetent lapdogs, to do what?
I agree completely with Perry. He has my vote
Exactly.......why waste time with Erkel Mugabes christmas help....
Why waste time listening to chicken shits who are beneath contempt ?
Wow, he spent OVER AN HOUR — **gasp** — thanking the troops.
Imam Obmah has no time for Red States or their Governors!

It’d be pointless for Perry to meet with 0bama over this issue anyway. Perry could show evidence of a rampant illegal alien invasion ‘til the cows come home, but there’s no changing 0bama’s mind on anything.
0bama’s baseline is he is ALWAYS correct, and those who disagree just haven’t heard him enough. We all have seen how well AZ’s Gov. Brewer’s meeting with him turned out.
