Perry responds to Obama 'lecture': 'Actions speak louder than words'
The Hill ^ | 8/17/11 | Michael O'Brien

Posted on 08/17/2011 8:56:09 AM PDT by Nachum

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) fired back Wednesday at President Obama, who admonished the Republican presidential candidate to watch his words more carefully. Perry said "actions speak louder than words" after Obama's public admonishment yesterday on CNN for Perry's comments that an expanded money supply by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke would be "almost treasonous." "Yesterday the president said I needed to watch what I say," Perry told a crowd in New Hampshire at a politics-and-eggs breakfast, broadcast online. "I'd just like to respond, if I may: Mr. President, actions speak louder than words. My actions as governor

LOL! God bless you, Rick Perry! Who does Zero freepin’ think he is, telling an American citizen to “watch what he says”? Unless someone is betraying top secret information ... like, you know, Democrats in the administration ... he can say whatever he pleases.

Perry was too nice about Bernanke, anyway. Get out the Unabridged Dictionary, Rick, and spice up your invective with some polysyllables!

“”I think that everybody who runs for president, it probably takes them a little bit of time before they start realizing that this isn’t like running for governor or running for senator or running for Congress, and you’ve got to be a little more careful about what you say,” the president said. “But I’ll cut him some slack. He’s only been at it for a few days now.””

A LITTLE MORE CAREFUL - yep! you have to lie A LOT!

Why can’t this puke just evaporate and float away - out of our lives and our country?

Obama is unable to ignore any criticism. Perry has observed and learned this. A daily drumbeat of criticism from the leading GOP contender will drive Obama to distraction, drive him to respond in petty ways, and take him off message.

Bush didn’t personally respond to criticism which was a mistake, but Obama responds way too much. A wise president picks the important issues which need a personal response and lets his staff respond to all the rest.

“President Obama, who admonished the Republican presidential candidate to watch his words more carefully”

Part of why Dear Leader thinks being president of China would be easier than being president of the U.S.-Chinese presidents have their critics shot. This thinking is always foremost in Obama’s mind; he’s a true facist at heart.

If Perry was smart he would say if the President has a plan for jobs but won’t tell anyone until September, is 25 Million unemployed not enough to get his plan now.

Should Mr. Perry be concerned about our President’’s
“National Civilian Security Force”?

Just asking.

Obama erred in engaging Perry personally and Perry took advantage of it.

Perry is campaigning right at Obama which is good. I believe Obama thinks Perry will make a major mistake - and their lackeys in the press will drum him out.

Too bad Perry doesn’t have any credibility in this whole thing, considering the fact that he supported TARP, and more recently, raising the debt ceiling by $2.4 TRILLION dollars.

What a spectacular event it would be if Perry makes Obama cry during a debate.

There are some aspects of Perry’s policies I don’t care for.

But at least he can think on his fight and deliver an incisive comment and stinging rebuttal while the issue is still news.

Yes, if Perry had balanced the budget in Texas without the Bernacke printed money. He might be on to something. Action speaks louder than words Perry.

Well, I have not made up my mind about Perry becuase I really like Bachmann but we need somebody to speak like Trump and just take it to that Loser every single day. And never aplologize for anything.

“Too bad Perry doesn’t have any credibility in this whole thing, considering the fact that he supported TARP, and more recently, raising the debt ceiling by $2.4 TRILLION dollars.”
So tell all of us how your candidate denounced TARP and raising the debt ceiling.
I do not recall any other sitting governors voting on TARP or the debt ceiling. Can you provide a list of each governor and how they voted on these two items?
