Obama in Texas (I hope someone packed the olive branch)

The president is coming to Texas for a couple of fundraisers.  Nothing wrong with that, right?


Wait. I forgot we are talking about President Obama so the GOP theory of any movement is the wrong movement must apply.  Walk one of his dogs?  Cat hater!   Not engage with crazy dictators?  Dictator hater!  The activity is irrelevant.  It's all about the hate.


So when Gov. Perry asks the president to carve out some time during his visit to talk about the lost children of South America crossing our borders, Obama has said thanks, but no thanks.  I can't say I blame the president and his staff for brushing off our governor.  Been snake bit one too many times by that one.    


But this time I do hope our president reconsiders his decision not to meet with Gov. Perry.  This situation needs any and all ideas.  Imagine the good that could come from a meeting of these two men and their staffs.


Fingers crossed. 


UPDATE: The president has reconsidered and is meeting with Gov. Perry tomorrow.  Fingers still crossed.
