Texas gov. Rick Perry calls Obama's speech to schoolchildren "DISTURBING!" - Seriously, WTF?

[Julius Civitatus]

Seriously, where do these people come from?
I've never seen this level of disrespect to a sitting President in my life, and I mean disrespect coming from other elected officials (GOP governors, congressmen). They are spreading fear and conspiranoid rumors of a "socialist agenda", of a fictitious "Kenyan birth", openly saying even in congress that Obama wants to kill grandmothers across America!!!

And now they claim they need to "protect our children from the president"?

THIS IS INSANE!

What would have they done if a single school had vetoed a speech by Dubya? Just once!

Every single day they prove to me their rabid hatred and disrespect for the President has more and more to do with Obama's ethnic origin and color of his skin. They would have never done this to any of our previous presidents.

Shame of these GOP lunatics.
:mad:

Rick Perry: Obama Speech "Disturbing," But Don't Skip School

APRIL CASTRO, AP -- Gov. Rick Perry called President Barack Obama's plan to speak to the nation's school children about the importance of education "disturbing," but he said he would not advise parents to keep their children home from school that day despite calls to do so from angry critics.

"I think it's disturbing when you get this message, that you will have your kids, in a forum where the president of the United States is, obviously he's got a message there," Perry said Thursday in an exclusive interview with The Associated Press. "Nobody seems to know what he's going to be talking about ... why didn't he spend more time talking to the local districts, superintendents?"

The White House announced this week that Obama plans to give a speech on the importance of education, aimed directly at the nation's school children, and streamed live on the White House Web site.

But Republican critics are calling it an effort to foist a socialist agenda on children. The conservative backlash has stunned teachers, principals and school districts who have been flooded with calls and e-mails from parents, many who don't want their children watching it and some who are threatening to keep their children at home in protest.

Some schools have announced they will not show the speech and others are leaving the decision to individual teachers.

He wants to secede his state from the Union (which is illegal I think) and wouldn't take unemployment funds from Obama while people in Texas were starving.

11. No surprise. All of the GOP has now recieved their marching orders/talking points...

... about this fake issue. Amazingly they got some traction out of the issue, and now they are all running with it bigtime. The only positive thing I can say is that this is definitely distracting the GOP and the MSM from the so-called health care debate.
