Rick Perry Says He Prays For Barack Obama Every Day (That God will open his eyes)
Business Insider ^ | 08/05/2011 | Grace Wyler

With one day to go before his Houston prayer rally, Texas Gov. Rick Perry dropped hints about his potential presidential bid, telling Christian Broadcast Network that God will have a hand in his presidential decision.

"I have no idea what God's plans are for me but I'm gonna try to be as faithful to him as I can be. I know I will fail as I have often but the good news is we have a forgiving God and I try to follow His directions," Perry said in an interview. "God's got a great sense of humor, I know that as well so anyway, whatever He has in store for me I look forward to it."

He also said he prays every day for President Barack Obama, that "God will open his eyes."

As for The Response, Perry said he is simply following Biblical instructions to ask for "God's grace for this country, for this nation."

Perry, a Methodist who attends a nondenominational church in Austin, is clearly comfortable talking about his faith, a quality that has boosted his appeal with conservative evangelicals.

Being a Texan, I pray every day that Perry will give this up, and let a conservative (finally) get nominated.

Accept it - Obama’s eyes are already wide open.

The trashing of the US Constitution, the racist divisiveness, the looting of the treasury and destruction of America are intentional.

“Being a Texan, I pray every day that Perry will give this up, and let a conservative (finally) get nominated.”

I do believe he has already been signalled to stand down. It is obvious this campaign, as old Dole used to say, is a non-starter.

Agreed Bob. Perry is NO conservative! He is an open borders illegal lovin’ fraud who has snowed many...including many FReepers. Sarah?...she will learn after a bit more homework of Perry. Rush...dittos to that, he has just not looked into Perry’s record enough. My pick since I am running my ancient old Ret. butt’s yap?....Sarah with West as VP.

You said it IM! The muslim boy is no dummy.....he is following his NWO master’s instructions to the letter. Quite a dance, slowly destroying our country while at the same time acting the savior so his muslim can is voted in one more time. His acts are intentional, his words scripted by the globalists. The southern border is left wide open for a reason...part of the overall plan of the one world bastards and the illegal lovers here for Perry will never get that as they are evidently easily fooled by another silver tongue.

Thanks. See post #15. None of these Perry idiots can refute anything there. They try, but it is all illegal lovin’/open borders crap B/S. Real Americans are NOT for open borders or illegal immigration.....Perry and his pals are.
