Democrat Governor Candidate Ducking Obama’s Visit To Texas
Republican incumbent Rick Perry will be greeting the President when he lands in Texas today. But do you know who won’t be there? The Democrat candidate for governor Bill White.
Indicating, once again, just how much of a liability Obama and his far-left agenda has become for Democrats this election cycle.
President Obama travels to Texas today, but the state’s Democratic candidate for governor won’t be there to greet him.
While Mr. Obama delivers remarks on education and attends Democratic fundraisers in Austin and Dallas, Democratic candidate Bill White, the former mayor of Houston, will be at campaign events in other parts of the state.
White last week tried to downplay his decision to not appear with the president, the Dallas Morning News reports. When asked by reporters on Friday if he was worried about being too closely identified with Obama, White said, “I really don’t think about stuff like that. I don’t use national figures as surrogates for me. I tend to campaign for myself.”
C’mon Democrats, you guys can say it too: Hope for change!
