56. At some point, it becomes comical. I'm sure there was an over/under bet on Perry's behavior.

On the flight in, bets were probably taken on how Perry would behave.

Put yourself in Obama's position, if you were to go meet someone who acted like a jerk the day before, wouldn't you be mocking his behavior before meeting him the next day... joking about how he's react, and then laugh when it comes to fruition?

I also hope he has a punching bag in the WH gym with Boehner's and McConnell's faces on it. And Issa, Cruz, McCain, Graham, Kyl, and a whole host of others. And maybe Palin's face inside a spitoon.

Perry: Mr President, you need to do something about this crisis so I can boast about how I influenced you in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries!

Obama: Gov. Perry, why don't you use your considerable influence in the Republican party to persuade Congress to act on this matter?

his chair over to her and must've said something HILAROUS because she playfully slapped him on the arm and he laughed and rolled back to where he belonged. Weird antics in that uptight atmosphere...

82. A Picture to Remember as the Immigration Saga Unfolds.

Obama just has to get the word out. We do have laws that govern immigration, that state who may come in and stay and who may not. They will be applied. The Republicans can help change those laws, but Obama's hands are tied until they do. The laws permit us to aid refugees and to send those who are not refugees and enter without visas home. Obviously, Obama's job is to enforce those laws. Judges decide who stays and who goes.

The last laugh is Obama's when it comes to the ridiculous antics of the Republican Party on this issue.l

123. I'm no fan of Goodhair, but I don't think he's being grumpy.

It looks to me, in the absence of any context to the contrary, like he is in the middle of telling a joke or funny story, and the punchline somehow involves the exaggerated petulant scowl.

The big clue for me is the President's laugh -- President Obama is too polite to laugh that openly in front of someone who is truly angry.

139. Welcome to DU, chrisstopher, and thank you for that delicious

metaphor. My Dad's family have lived in TX for generations, and I haven't heard that one, but I'm saving it for future use. Can't wait until I have that chance.

163. Welcome to DU, chrisstopher!

Glad you're here! Good one-liner! Sure seems to fit here!

rick perry is a national joke. Ever since his "Governor Oops" moment on that debate stage, he's been a national joke. A friend of mine from Texas could not stop talking about what a smart politician he is and how savvy and shrewd he is and he's SUCH a GOOD PoliTICIAN! And then came that GOP debate. Haven't heard a peep out of that friend, about how wonderful rick perry is, since then.

164. Welcome to DU, Godot51!

Great to have you with us! Oops! Maybe his "smart glasses" ARE working, though. They actually look like something he sent away for, from the back of a comic book - the "X-ray vision" kind that supposedly lets you see through women's clothing. Then again, given that premise, he's pouting because maybe they really AREN'T working as expected.

Hey rick, didn't your mother tell you not to make faces - cuz your face would freeze like that?

140. My sources have told me the joke:

Why did the Rethuglican cross the road?

He had his dick stuck in a chicken.

142. Did Obama call Perry's bluff?

Is that why he looks so disappointed--he wasn't expecting to have to actually have the meeting?

He's way too stupid to tangle with the likes of Obama. Thats what the picture says.

145. Those Glasses Make Him Look Smart...

Too bad they don't have the ability to actually put a brain inside his head. He still has that single marble just rolling around inside his otherwise empty head.
