20 I’ve been calling on governors to lead, too. Particularly Perry. He should call up the NG.

While I would like to see the GOP governors of TX, NM, and AZ do this (and maybe the governors of LA, AL, and GA joining in by sending units also), there must be some reason they haven't done it. AG Eric Holder? BHO trumping the governors and federalizing the NG? Or as BO'Re said last night on "The O'Reilly Factor" - costs too much $$$ and they would rather have the Fed do their job. The ship of state is leaking and sinking. Instead of the rats leaving the ship, they are flocking here in droves from SotB.

They can worry about the expense and see their states invaded to the point of no return. Or they can accept Obama isn’t going to do a damned thing and step up and fulfill they’re state constitutional duties.

In otherwords govorners do exactly what Obama commands them to do to so Obama doesn’t get the blame for his own failures.

I agree with Rimshot Joe because the scumbag college kiddies in Washington sure aren’t doing it. We need the governors to do the job the scumbags we elected in Washington don’t want to do. Those greedy, commie bass turds are too busy “fundraising”.

fta: ... “I think you’ve got to lead us out of this mess we’re in.” …
******************************
Finally, an admission from Biden that he and Obama are not capable of leading anyone.

The Red State Governors should have said they can do so, IF the damned Feds would stop interfering with stupid regulations, executive orders and failure to enforce laws.

Many governors are bound by state constitutions to balance their budgets. We could try that in Washington. I’m surprised no one has thought of this. ;)

If, even, BiteMe understands we are being lead down an abyss, I don’t think Governors can get us out. The only one I can think of, ran for VP 6 years ago.
