President Obama thumps Gov. Rick Perry -- and a Dallas TV reporter: Featured Video
President Obama says he loves Texas.
He does not, however, love Gov. Rick Perry. Or Dallas TV newsman Brad Watson.
The chief executive granted a few brief interviews recently to local news affiliates around the nation, including one to WFAA-TV from Dallas. That’s today’s featured video on the Texas Watchdog home page.
“Governor Perry helped balance the budget with about six billion dollars’ worth of federal help, which he happily took, and then started blaming the members of Congress who had offered that help,” Obama told Watson.
The president also denied the allegations from some folks in Texas that Houston was turned down as a retirement home for any of the NASA space shuttles because the Obama Administration wanted to send the shuttles to places that could help the president’s coming re-election bid.
“That’s wrong,” Obama said, adding that the decision on who got a shuttle was left to a commission. “The White House had nothing to do with it.”
Speaking of the campaign, the prez says he won’t write off Texas in 2012, but said Texas is a “pretty Republican state.”
But it wasn’t anything that the president said during the interview that got noticed by national news outlets like USA Today. Instead, they picked up on Obama’s comments to Watson right after the interview ended:
“Let me finish my answers the next time we do an interview, all right?”
That one brought back memories of Dana Carvey’s Ross Perot impersonation including the oft-repeated phrase “Can I finish?” We couldn’t find any video clips on the Web that included the “Can I finish?” line, but we did find an audio-only .wav file of a snippet of it, as well as video clips of Carvey’s Perot bit without the catchphrase.
