[IMG][/IMG]
The President landed at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport around 4:00 p.m. There he met Governor Rick Perry and immediately boarded a helicopter bound for Dallas Love Field Airport. The helicopter landed some 10 minutes later and the Commander-In-Chief immediately went into meetings.

Rick Perry declines offer to meet Obama at airport
When President Barack Obama travels, he is often greeted by governors. He won't be on Wednesday in Texas.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a vocal critic of Obama's handling of the crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border, declined an official White House invitation to meet the president when he lands in Austin, saying he would like a more "substantive meeting."
I appreciate the offer to greet you at Austin-Bergstrom Airport," Perry wrote in a letter to Obama published by the Austin American-Statesman, "but a quick handshake on the tarmac will not allow for a thoughtful discussion regarding the humanitarian and national security crises enveloping the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas."

(19,567 posts)Poor Perry is not the brightest crayon in the box. He keeps calling for Obama to send National Guard troops to the border in Texas. Hello? Who exactly is the governor of Texas in charge of the National Guard there?
