Perry and Obama

I don't know if they shook hands, but at least Obama isn't stressing.

Perry is soft on immigration. He's never gonna get elected again.

Rachel Maddow had a segment last night on just how liberal-like
Perry can sound on immigration, at least in the past. I take it
he has been backtracking and not doing a bad job of it. I think
he's still running.

All hat, no cattle. He shook hands with the Socialist-Muslim In Chief.

Considering he's retiring to CALIFORNIA? Nope.

That stunned me. But it looks like a technical retirement
to get more benefits.

Rick Perry may be retiring from the job he's had for fourteen years, but he isn't slowing down.

"I'm not going to ride off into the sunset," he told NBC News in an interview in Washington D.C. "I'm pretty sure I'm not going to go back to Paint Creek, Texas, and shut my doors."

The Texas governor, 11 months away from the end of his record-setting tenure at the helm of the state, is sunny about a political future that could include another run for president. That decision won't come until next year, he says, but Perry insists he'll remain active in the political debate over the role of government in American life, whether he runs or not.

It was a reference to Eric Cantor's defeat - Brat used images of him with the President to infer that he was soft on immigration. But that was weeks ago.
