Pic of the Day: Texas Gov. Rick Perry Mocks Obama Campaign’s #ForAll Twitter Pledge

Sep. 20, 2012 10:00pm Jason Howerton

If you are on Twitter or read the news, chances are you have seen some of the pictures of celebrities, Obama campaign staffers and other supporters of President Barack Obama posing in some fashion with a pro-Obama message written on their hands as part of the Obama campaign’s #ForAll pledge.

Obama campaign manager Jim Messina had one of the more memorable pictures, which was advertised by several conservative sites as “creepy.”

ObamaCare #ForAll #Obama2012 twitter.com/Messina2012/st…

— Jim Messina (@Messina2012) September 19, 2012

Now, Texas Gov. Rick Perry has made his own hilarious #ForAll pledge:

Since @barackobama has forgotten how much he’s added to national debt #ForAll our kids to pay off… twitter.com/GovernorPerry/…

— Rick Perry (@GovernorPerry) September 20, 2012

As Twitchy notes, “The president himself might want to consider writing “$16 trillion” on his hands — just in case some TV host asks him the amount of the national debt and he just can’t remember.”

None of those are Obama’s Executive Orders. They were all signed by President Kennedy in 1962.

ever notice how all those democrat men look totally castrated and effeminate and creepy and giggly gay, and all the Republican men are absolutely all-American manly men.

great job, Rick.

  Yeah, no kidding… what a creepy little man. Disturbing to look at! The remedy for the feeling of creepiness was the Perry pic right below his. Countered it immediately.
  
  In fact, the comfort I took in Perry’s manliness, in the sheer contrast to Jim Messina, almost makes me feel gay.
  
  Ironic… now I’m disturbed again.

Did Rick Perry just mislead his sheeple to think Obama added 16 trillion to the debt? How disingenuous. He got his number wrong after he mocked Barack for getting the number wrong. Try again. It’s not that hard to make low blows, but this makes Rick Perry look like he did in the debates: Incredibly un-credible.

  You’re ridiculous.
  
  FYI, we aren’t mocking our chief executive for getting the number wrong so much as we are mocking him for NOT KNOWING THE DAMNED NUMBER. He is the President of the United States of America. The country’s debt has gone through the roof under his pathetic leadership and irresponsible spending, and he doesn’t even know how much it is?????
  
  The real truth here is that HE DID KNOW, and he LIED about it, as always. Every American citizen with even a hint of give-a-damn knows that number, so why wouldn’t he know it? Are you saying he doesn’t give a damn? You may be right, WHICH IS ALSO A HUGE PROBLEM.
  
  His feigned ignorance is indefensible. If it was actually feigned indifference, that is at least as indefensible. So, what kind of backwards moron must you be to try to defend it? Ignorant or indifferent? Either way, you are wrong, and ignorance and/or indifference like yours is EXACTLY what is destroying this country.

  @ wool…..the problem is that all this debt he adding and all the money he’s spending is on purpose. he is spreading our wealth around and bringing down America, he is anti-American. he holds America to blame for all the ill’s around the world. make no mistake he is fullfilling his mission. when Obama get’s re-elected what are we going to do? we can’t store enough food and Obama will confiscate gold as things get worse. if he gets control of the house and keeps the senate we are screwed and thats no joke.

  Actually, our national Debt in 2007 (when the Democrats took over both the house and senate) was about 8 Trillion, so they have doubled it.

I think Messina and the prez need to get on the same page. They’re sending conflicting messages. Messina says ObamaCare For All, while Obama says it’s For Ward.

I don’t know who this Ward guy is, but he either has the best weed in America or the gives the best Lewinski in Chicago to be worth 16 trillion.

  Are liberals/progressives really so daft they don’t know what redistribution means???
  
  Paying taxes for necessary expenses is noble and patriotic. Big gooberment is the opposite.

  Only children believe in fairy tales.
  And you believe in fairy tales so long as the one telling it has a (R) next to their name.
  
  When Rick gives back the money he has stolen, that’s when I’ll pay attention to anything he has to say about the federal budget deficit.

  Freeberty, you don’t think the taxpayers in Texas contributed at least that much to the federal government who were gonna redistribute it to blue states anyway? I didn’t think Perry should have taken that money, either, but come on! Texans have given far more than they took. I would definitely rather see Texas take that money than, say, California.

Rick should worry more about the deficit of over 20 billion he has this year in his own state. If he is so worried about the federal deficit how about sending back the federal stimulus money you stole from the taxpayers that don’t even live in your state.

  Funny, then, how his state has the strongest economy in the nation. Hey, I’m happy to shut out you communists and transplants from Cali and New York. You are NOT welcome in my grand state of Texas. I think if Obama wins in Nov it’s time for TX to secede. Get Obama’s slimy govt fingers OFF our state! Can I hear a *Yeah*!!?

Man, Jim Messina is one creepy-looking dud. I’m pretty sure I saw a creep-face just like his being grilled by Chris Hansen on one of Dateline NBC’s “To Catch A Predator” clips. I’m not saying Messina is a child molester, I’m just insinuating it.

Its a sad time when the person that’s running this country can’t tell you how mush the national Dept is. My 13 year old grandson knew the answer to that question. OBummer doesn’t care and never will. He loves it when a plan comes together. I just don’t understand how so many people can be so blind.he’s killing this country. I pray that God will wake them before its to late. Good one Rick.

Rick Perry – a real authority on NOTHING.
He knows full well the debt wasn’t 0 when the president took office.
And it was 70% Republican debt.
Why do you rubes still PRETEND that? Ya just look ridiculous. Really.

Nope, nothing creepy at all about this #ForAll stunt. Not a thing.

I can only imagine the reasoned, sensible musings that would be coming from left-blogostan right now were a bunch of folks to start tweeting hand-over-heart pledges for some conservative candidate. I doubt the phrase “American Taliban” would ever be mentioned. (/sarc)
