RICK PERRY: U.S. SHOULD BUY MORE CANADIAN OIL SO "WE DON'T HAVE TO BUY FROM A FOREIGN SOURCE."

THINK PROGRESS, December 28, 2011 -- The New York Times today has a quick run down of the biggest applause lines Rick Perry receives out on the campaign trail in Iowa. The Times reports that the crowd at one of Perry’s speeches “perked up” when the Texas governor talked energy and oil. “Every barrel of oil that comes out of those sands in Canada is a barrel of oil that we don’t have to buy from a foreign source,” Perry said, adding that buying so much energy from foreign countries is “not good policy, it’s not good politics and frankly it‘s un-American.”

What is un American is his comment, eh! How much did he get paid for saying that (I wonder)? Besides he probably is one of the shareholders in the pipeline project for that dirty sand oil.

Right, Jen--not to mention offending the millions of citizens of Canada.

The man should have done his Social Studies homework when he was in grade school. Maybe he should look at a map of the US and see if he can find a place called "Canada?"

Too dumb for words.

It does make sense if put this way...

'OUR PRESIDENT IS 'FOREIGN'
'MUSLIMS ARE FOREIGN'
'CANADIANS ARE NOT DARK SKINNED' (NUP / SMILE)

(Y-E-S, THE CODE 'GAY IS THE NEW BLACK ' CAN FIT HERE ALSO IN MY VIEWPOINT) (SMILE)

Actually the only time Perry really offends me is when as I saw on the same program that I saw him making this statement sound bite was him reading straight from the Bible!!!And, having those same people agree with him that he has been called to deliver America and take us back pre the 60s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (N...U...P!!!!)
