I got a better point,Gov Perry!
Almost a year ago, Obama and the mainstream media virtually ignored the devastating flooding in Tennessee. He never visited there either.
I wonder if it’s because he lost Tennessee by double digits? Rush Limbaugh sure thought so.
New York Daily News reports as President Obama meets with Alabama families affected by deadly tornados that swept through the South earlier this week, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is asking: What about us?
The Republican, long a critic of the president, once again ripped the Obama administration Thursday. This time, he bashed Obama for not responding to an April 16 request for a declaration of emergency in the Lone Star State, where wildfires have destroyed nearly 2 million acres.
"You have to ask, 'Why are you taking care of Alabama and other states?'" said Perry.
Texas officials asked the White House to make the declaration, which would have allocated federal funds to help the state deal with the crisis.
"I know our letter didn't get lost in the mail," Perry added.

Obama is running for re-election. And even though he lost Alabama by nearly 20 points to John McCain, there’s still a significant numbers of African Americans in Alabama that heeds desperately needs to hold the White House.
This the visit. It’s as simple as that.
Memeirandum
