Subscribe to RSSTULSA, Okla. -- Sen. Jim Inhofe knew Gov. Rick Perry was running for president before Rick Perry did.
"I said to him, 'Rick, I know you'll deny it now, and you're supposed to, but you're going to end up running," Inhofe recalls from a conversation with 14 months ago. "And when you are, just call me up and give me a little advance notice and I will do whatever you think I can do to be of some help to you.'"
Inhofe, who yesterday became the first United States senator to formally endorse a candidate the 2012 GOP primary, told NBC News during an interview in his Tulsa office that Perry's gubernatorial experience, personal profile, and good looks made him a shoo-in to run even when the Texas governor seemed certain to turn down supporters begging him to jump in.
Naming his criteria for a Republican nominee -- electability and consistent conservative values -- Inhofe said the choice among the contenders was easy. "He was the one," Inhofe said.
The Oklahoma Republican, who is one of the leading skeptics of human beings contributing to climate change, is also supporting Perry because of the governor's pledge to dismantle EPA regulations that both believe stifle job creation.
"He was willing to take on the sacred cows," Inhofe said, "and that is the overregulation" by the Environmental Protection Agency. "He wasn't afraid of it. Everyone else was afraid of it."
He added that the nation is turning away from the belief that climate change is man-made and must be regulated. "I think there's been a wakeup call to the American people," he said. "I think they realize that a lot of the science has been drummed up by people who have a financial dog in the fight."
That's a belief both men share. Inhofe said in the interview that "the vast majority" of scientists dependent on government grants "go along with the whole idea" of global warming to keep money flowing to their research projects. Perry, at a campaign stop in New Hampshire earlier this month, claimed there are "a substantial number of scientists who have manipulated data so that they will have dollars rolling into their projects."
Perry's skepticism about global warming would lead him to gut federal regulations geared towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which Inhofe says should be a pleasing proposition to deficit hawks.
"He'll attack [the debt] from the regulatory end as much as he will from the spending end," Inhofe said. "I haven't heard anybody else talking about that because they're afraid of the issue."
Perry would also support oil and natural-gas production in areas of the United States that are currently closed to drillers, Inhofe said.
"The fact that 83 percent of our public land is off limits is ludicrous," Inhofe said. "We can't sit around and talk about how we want to do something about our dependency on the Middle East and not go ahead and get our own stuff. That's what he wants to do."
Inhofe, who endorsed early-conservative-darling-turned-flameout Fred Thompson during the last presidential cycle, sees one key difference between Thompson and Perry.
"Fred's lazy," Inhofe said. "And this guy's not lazy; he works all the time."

You keep voting any more of these fake Christians in office...it will be your own fault..when we go down the toilet
Really. Obama hs kept us in the toilet for 32 months. 16 months to go before we can "clean off" and make some real progress as a nation.
Tony Bush did such a good job while he was President ..Dick Cheney is the President now?
You need your rest....get some sleep.
hahaha dont know what to say...just oh i need my sleep..hahahah
How far does Obama have to drop before Democrats admit he is in trouble. Perry hasn't been in the race more than 10 days. Almost 50% of Americans don't know who he is yet. But a Gallup poll says he is already tied with Obama in the polls. You call him dumb. But when was the last conservative candidate that liberals didn't call dumb. It is like calling all Republicans racists. It just doesn't work. Americans have seen too many conservative politicians who are competent in office who Democrats call dumb. I would start wondering about a conservative who the liberals didn't call dumb. If Obama is your definition of smart then we have nothing to worry about.
people know who is is..he is no one new..how long has he been in the government in Texas...can you give me some years..Bush was his boss remember when he was governor????..and one time he was a democrat
how many filibusters can the republicans have ? is a better question . just as soon as i see an Obama thing come out of congres. i will blame him for it . but at least tell the truth .
"last conservative candidate that liberals didn't call dumb. It is like calling all Republicans racists. It just doesn't work."
the Tea Party made sure these descriptions are accurate and completely provable for the "new" Republican Party. Tea party endorsed candidates are gonna make this easy...
So, part of President Obama's big job idea is to increase job training. What a great idea!
The Secretary of Labor's annual report showed they accomplished 100% of their goal for job training last year!
Except their goal was a 50% success rate. Their goal was that 50% of those who received tax payer funded job training either got jobs or went on to school. That's the measure of success. Half. Half either got jobs or went on for more training somewhere else.
Another example of a pitiful government program. And one of President Obama's solutions is to spend more money on a failing program.
Great.
It is hard to do..when your party is sitting almost on 3 trillion in tax breaks..the money is in the bank..Right ...right
Elvis, There are actually many jobs out there. Employers are having a hard time finding workers skilled or educated enough to do them. The DOL doesn't appear to have much success in helping that situation.
"It's too hard" has become the mantra of this administration and the left as an excuse for poor performance. Sorry.
oh so now we have jobs ...man will yall make your minds up.
What about the people who want the don't want the high tech jobs? Not everyone wants to become a doctor, lawyer, computer programmer, or rocket scientist. What about those people? That's the real American Middle-Class- the folks who get their hands dirty and build stuff. What happens when all of those jobs are gone? And a good many of them are. Much of our manufacturing base is ka-put!- most of it shipped overseas. I myself have had two jobs- not great paying, but I enjoyed them and I lived comfortably- due to outsourcing.
Fun Fact- More Japanese Car companies build their cars in the United States than do American Car companies. Don't get me started on the tax breaks we still give American Car Companies when they don't really pay a lot of American taxes. Wait- they don't pay a lot of taxes so why aren't they creating jobs? That was the Republican line of thinking, isn't it?
But is this not the mantra for the right any time there is a social program that will benefit all others except themselves? Seriously. "Oh my god, my taxes are getting ready to help minorities or the poor- Let's Burn Down Washington!" Even more perplexing that much of this venom comes form those who consider themselves Christians.
Once again, Americans suffer from a malady that is our, and ours alone. It is called It-Ain't-Happening-to-Me-So-I-Don't-Care-and-All-The-Government-Wants-to-Do-is-Give-My-Money-to-Lazy-People-but-I-Will-Care-When-It-Happens-to-Me-So-That-Is-When-I-Will-Start-Finally-Calling-People-"Greedy" Syndrome. Becuase that is what I hear most from the right- how everyone is lazy but them. How the government is evil for wanting to take their money and help the less fortunate. Christians indeed.
Of the 12 million people unemployed in the country, roughly 25% have occupations in the manufacturing and construction industries, including energy and oil industries. The rest - 75% - have usual occupations in the professional and service industries.
You're right that we don't manufacture anything anymore. Those jobs have gone over seas. Unless Americans are willing to work dirt cheap - (and they are not) - those jobs are not likely to come back. Those who work in manufacturing need to realize this and move on to acquire a skill that can make them a living. Everyone has to adapt to the new reality. Sad. But true.
That said. The jobs to which I was referring are actually manufacturing jobs involving higher tech equipment many former manufacturer workers aren't used to. There are skills that need to be learned to use that new equipment. In order to get those jobs, people need to expand their skills. Employers are having a hard time finding skilled workers.
"It's too hard" is President Obama's excuse -- as is "I didn't know how bad it was" "there was a tsunami" "the Republicans on the play ground are mean to me" Quite pitiful.
Your party, Comte, is the party of victims.
If the government was "taking their money" and actually using it to help the less fortunate --- as opposed to blowing it on ineffective programs and porky projects -- you'd find more conservatives willing to pay more.
Good point. Yet a lot of the good ideas get washed-out in all the noise coming from Washington- from both the right and the left. I'm all for socialized medicine. I'm for free education, especially at the college level. Those two things alone help make a society great. That is what I want- A Great Society. But I'll agree that Obamacare- for lack of a better term- needs to go. That is not socialism. It is a hand-out for big pharma and insurance. Still, when the right attacks Obamacare, the attacks reek of closed-minded desperation. The right becomes a selfish, howling mass of ignorance when anything socialized is mentioned. Screw the fact that programs such as this will benefit the most people- those in the right are more concerned with what is going on in their yard than in the country as a whole.
So we continue supporting those who are content to see our manufacturing base remain overseas? Keep in mind both the Democrats and Republicans are more than tickled pink to let this continue- special interest money is a hard siren song to resist. Many folks are more content to just blurt out the first solution that comes to mind before actually looking into the root of the problem. Not only are these companies that outsource paying these poor workers in China and Taiwan peanuts, but many of these companies pay little to no taxes.
Say what you will about Donald Trump, but that man had two sexy- and I mean naked Elle McPhearson spread-eagled on your bed sexy- ideas. First off, tax the beejezus out of those companies that outsource American jobs. You want to pay lower wages to people living in countries with no labor laws- you are going to have to pay higher taxes. Companies from those countries- China, I'm looking at you- that want to sell their goods in the United States- Tariff them. It's all this Prefered Trading Partner bulls**t in the first place that got us in this situation- it only benefits the companies, not the American people as a whole. All these Free Trade Agreements need to be repealed. Something neither side of the ailse will ever left a finger to do.
****waving my index finger in your face- making the 'no, no' gesture****
Didn't your parents and/or surrogate parental units advise you to never assume anything? Don't you know it makes and a** out of you and I? Just because I don't champion your Republican/Right ideals doesn't make me a Democrat. Please, don't paint yourself like many of the other closed-minded Republican fools on these boards.
You know, I've thought about the many sides of that. I'm not sure that I'm not content. If I could choose to have American people laboring and breaking their backs pulling scrap in a steel mill, or screwing in the same screw in the same spot on the same line in the same factory day in and day out....versus....working in an air conditioned office servicing customers, or in a pristine lab engineering the cure for cancer or the next "gotta have" technology, I'd choose the latter. I mean there are some things we need to make here, but do you want your kids doing hard or mindless labor or have a cushier, but challenging job making the world a better place? It's kind of a conundrum to me, since I suppose we need both.
Aside from the inappropriate and improper visual of Ms. McPhearson you offered, I understand your agreement to Trump's ideas. Since my dream world will never exist, if we have to have manufacturing we should have more incentives for companies to stay here.
My parents did teach me the definition of "assume." I was thrown off by your "evil corporation," "Republicans don't want to help the unfortunate" comment. There's so many on the left, on the right, in the middle, and many who are a mix. Thanks for calling me out and I apologize for making the assumption.
Is that really up to you or I to decide? Hell, if I had my way everyone would be taken care of- shelter, food, health care, and education? But that's not realistic. You and I both know that. The trick is to choose a system that benefits the most people. To get more bang for your buck.
Some people just don't function well in an office enviornment. Some people can't get along with others, while others don't like being surrounded cubicles and mission statements. Different strokes for different folks. One of my favorite movies is Office Space. The main character works in an office, and he is very unhappy. At the end of the movie, he is working at a construction site and is content with his lot in life. While I agree that we need more people educated to fill in many of our high-tech jobs, we also have to keep in mind that that kind of enviornment is not for everybody. So what is your solution, just leave those folks behind because they don't want to bite off the corporate machine. A little cold, don't you think.
Also, I don't know if you are aware, but many American High-Tech firms, Microsoft as an example, are petitioning Congress for more work Visas for foreign graduates to enter the United States to work for these companies. These companies can pay the foreign workers much less than American graduates. So what is the American worker to do? No matter what, it seems like he/she is just greedy. He doesn't get educated and wants good paying manufacturing jobs- by your logic, that is considered greedy. Then we have American workers getting out of college wanting those good paying jobs they went to school for- but I guess they are being greedy, too?
My biggest problem with the right, something you have not addressed, is how self-centered they are. One of the reason I align myself more with Democrats than Republicans is the fact that many Democrats at least are looking outside of their yard. Sure, both side are seriously flawed, but in a two party system all one can do is choke back the bile in the back of the throat while voting for the lesser of two evils. Hypocrisy plays no favorites.
My bad. Just sounded cool rolling off the tongue. I do apologize. You have been beyond cordial with me and that is appreciated to the highest power. Thank you.
I guess we all have ideas of what our perfect world would be.
I consider construction, carpenters, tradesmen, and miners skilled jobs and professions. I want our kids to strive to work in better places than some factory line. If that's their choosing, fine. I don't want low skill jobs to be their only choice. I understand your point about "different strokes" and personalities, though.
It's not pay that's driving that trend. Americans are falling behind in education. We need teachers and parents and role models to get kids excited about math and science and technology. Maybe kids would be inspired to invent new, clean energy! Providing excellent, globally competitive education and motivation to our kids is where it all needs to begin.
Don't get caught up in that idea, Comte. While most times it doesn't seem this way, the very far right and the very far left are actually the minorities in our country. Most of us fall somewhere in the middle. There are many "small government" fiscally conservative but socially moderate to socially liberal on the Republican side. There are many socially liberal and fiscally conservative Democrats, too. So, I guess that means there's hope, right? Don't let that broad "assumption thing" get in your way of believing that.
I'm so tired of having to choose between the two.....(sigh).
As have you. Thanks.
My dad teaches AP (Advanced Placement) Calculus, and I hate math. Always been a reading/writing kinda kid.
You bring up a very good point, though. Parents today piss me off. Really piss me off. If we look at the past several generations (I myself am 37), we can see the slow decay of the family unit. That destruction of such a very basic principle is one of the overriding problems with our society today. Parents just don't want to be parents, anymore. There are several reasons. Some are just selfish, not allowing any time for their kids. Others expect the government or someone else to raise them. Other parents just don't have the time because they are too busy putting food on the table. Despite the reason, without the basic structure of the family unit many children are growing up with extremely warped world-views. Without the parental bulls**t filters, these children are only going to grow up as maladjusted adults. And there are a lot of them. A lot.
Still, many of these jobs that I mentioned in regards to Microsoft can be filled by qualified Americans. Microsoft still doesn't want to come off the cash to pay the American graduates. Sure, American elementary and high school education is lacking, but our college graduates are not as behind in the math and sciences as you think.
Me. Although I am not a Democrat. Democratic Socialist fits better.
Once again, I'm sorry. I just made an a** out of you and I.
yep lets instead focus on abortions anmd other take our rights away . i sure am loving that smaller government thing .
did that "lady " just call carpenters un skilled???????? REALLY ? go live in a cave lady because a carpenter built any thing else you might be sheltering in . ya wanna know what carpenter s call archtects and most engineers ? we call them pretty picture people .
@Greg3-
Not trying to be rude, but Candice is actually okay. If you go back and read what she says, she has been nothing but civil and polite. And although I don't agree with what she is saying, she still backs her ideas up with intelligence and respect.
Kinda wished I could have been a carpenter, or stone mason, back in the day. Could you imagine what it would have been like to build the Great Pyramid of Giza? Mind-blowing, I'm sure.
All hat and no cattle as Texans like to say. I can't believe folks are even thinking about another not-too-bright, swaggering, God-fearin' and directed Texas Governor ... when I wake up the nightmare will be over, right?
lets hope...all the pollution in the air of the oil refinery's have made man crazy..
Yes, Obama will be out of office.....and America will be on the road to recovery.
Another corporation bill signer only..just like Bush...oh forget about us working people.
Obama has the backing of most Wall Street executives. The liberal media does spin this.....You liberals fall for this.. LOL
No tony the tiger your wrong
You are wrong. Check the contributions from Wall Street executives in the 2008 Presidental elections. Obama scored at least $3 to $1 on McCain. This time around may be different. Too early to tell. Obama may lose some of the Jewish vote. If they wake up, he will lose most of it.
you do know why right...because he was up in the polls..hahahaha..dont mean they like him
Right again, They just wanted to buy him, not like him...
Read MY lips! No new Texans!!
Read my lips.......no more socialism....same same no more Obama....
tell US all about that "socialism " where is it? and how is it affecting US .
greg3
forget about Tony C, he is anti social and in his safe hideaway he thinks socialism would force him out into the real world
If perry becomes president, inofe will become the head of some environmental activity. Maybe secretary of the interior where he will dole out federal park lands for clear cut coal mining while doing away with water purity standards. This guy hates the environment.
But i tell you, he will go down as one of the main reasons why sooooo many wild animals and sea life are dying off already with his contributions to the environmental legislation. The migratory birds, butterflies, bees, frogs are all dying off. Thanks to the policies of inofe.
But he will say that for every specie that has died off a new specie has been found. What he won't tell you is that for the species that have died off there were once millions and millions of them. And for the new specie found, only one or two examples. He hates wild animals.
And how do you think wild animals have fared during the drought in texas. I tell you even the people in texas have resorted to processing waste sewage water into drinking water things are getting soooo bad there. And how do you think the animals fared during irene. I tell you butterflies have a hard time in 8 inches of rain and 70 mph winds. He hates butterflies too.
But coming from oklahoma, he will tell you that he knows nothing about what is happening in our seas. That cape cod has no cod anymore means little to him. Don't expect sea life to do any better than the wild animals on land.
Other than that he would make a great secretary of the interior like another james watt.
everyone of these people are one mind set of people thinking and doing ...what is the down fall of man in the future..and people keep slowly voting them in office
I can't wait to listen to Obama's speech about jobs and the economy. What a joke!
Same warmed over stuff with blame and sprinkled with excuses. More government spending to produce a "sugar" high. Then when the sugar wears off, the problem still exists.
Wonder why his approval rating is at 38%? Ask a liberal. You will get excuses and blame. The same as Obama dishes out.
when you have tax breaks you have no money to spend on jobs...so government does not create jobs remember.
Correct government does not creat jobs. Government creates debt when left unchecked. Especially true with Obama's desires.
so if im correct those capitalist banks..took socialist tax money..right..for bail out money.right..right
No, US Tax payers money and borrowed money was used. It was wrong. Just like Obama's stimulus. Except tarp was mostly paid back. Stimulus was a give a away program to Obama supporters and did not do anything positive. Shovel ready, was not so shovel ready. Obama even joked about it. The money just went to a temporary "sugar" high that ended.
what..the money you are talking about is tax money...socialism money..oh my oh my..you cant get around it..know matter how much you mumbo jumbo your words.
It was printed money, you know the Feds? Get some sleep and then buy some gold. With Obama, gold will be the only money that will be worth anything.
The grossly obese, diabetic, inbred, nascar watchin', turkey frying illiterate trailer trash are going to get more than they bargained for. The last time the south got so politically charged they attempted to suceed from the Union. I am so excited for the coming Civil War part II. This time when we repeat General Sherman's GLORIOUS March to the Sea, I think it would be wise to just keep burining and burning and burning until the last remnants of the red state bible thumpers have been eradicated. C'mon southerners, put on you pants, grease up your mullets and get busy!
hahahaha
Yep, Inhofe definitely represents the views of my great state of Oklahoma. Now excuse me while I go vomit...
Perry's endorser is just north of the border and it still hot there. Maybe his brain got cooked. Rick Perry doesn't have the Cahunas, savvy, knowledge education or command of the English language president Obama has and would crash and burn by opening his mouth. Hannity and all the talking heads on FOX and other outlets need a "Rectal Enchephalectomies" prior to engaging their tongues. These Yahoos yell at their guests and deflect the real conversation when backed into a corner. Brush Himoff, Hannity and all the limited-minded FOX-hounds bad-mouthing and raising tangential issues are trying to smoke-screen Americans with unfounded lies and disrespectful commentary towards our first Black president! The narrow-minded, know-it-all's do not know-it-all! These Yahoos should raise the heads out of the FOX hole and see the real world and not listen to the the prejudiced and bigoted Sen. Mitch McConnell, the bigoted Republican from Kentucky, the minority leader with the greatest cunning and sharpest knife, signaled his party's true purpose last year when he proclaimed: "The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president."
Rudy, Rudy, move to California which I have mentioned to you before. No Perry, higher taxes, higher unemployment and wefare programs you can live on. Go for it.
Why would you assume that Rudy would need to live on welfare?
I really still have trouble believing that someone would really think this man is smart enough to be president. I will also state before anyone starts about the job Obama has done i do not think he has done that great but I have talked to people who have had to work close to this man and if was not for some of the people working in Austin for him and keeping him from doing things he would be in prison. He also states that he wants govenment to be so quite that no one will even know they are there yet he wants to make women have sonograms before abortions, which a smart judge just overturned, he wants marriage to be just between a man and women so these seem like the government will be more in our business if someone like him gets elected. I really think that there currently no one running on either side that is worth much so any way we go we are screwed
The last Texas Governor to be President almost destroyed this country, not that they're all the same but if your pit bull killed your daughter you might want to wait awhile before getting another pit bull.
I do like that Perry had the balls to beg Obama for relief disaster money after being so anti-stimulus.
We have tried a Pomeranian for three years. I believe the voters are ready for another pit bull.
Obama is on track to out spend Bush and really destroy the country. But he gives good speeches....
I am sorry folks but Perry is not the one, Neil is the one.............
Oh and by the way who the @!$%# is inhof or whatever his name is?
He's a senator elected from my state, Oklahoma - not that I voted for him. LOL.
Shucky darns and I thought we were still in Kansas.
Tony the Tiger Bush help Cheney be our President..oh my bad..hahaha
you need some sleep. really
you need a new brain
I knew you would get around to being ugly sooner or later. Predictable with liberals...
larry the cable guy 2012
get er done
Big surprise-- they're both scientifically ignorant and proud of it. Why is arrogant ignorance required of GOP candidates? I'm not saying they're stupid-- I'm saying they're proud of ignoring facts.
Not believing in bad science does not mean you do not believe in science. Another liberal eaggeration at work.....
Tony: And from out of the looney bin of the wackos comes a validation of their stoooopidity! !
Leave Rachael Maddow out of this.....
Obama job approval rating free fall:
Hillary is looking better and better to the libs. They think she has a much stronger backbone than Obama.
sorry we are not going to break us up this time around...oh you forgot to add the republicans polls
Obama is running for President....... his approval is at 38% rationalize all you want.....
Did the election get moved up 14 months? Not sure what the significance is of Obama's approval rating now?
Not surprised you don't understand. In the next 14 months, things will not improve......I know you will not see reality until we get there. Thats OK.
No you're right, nothing will improve until real Americans vote out every single republican in congress. It's funny how things suddenly turned for the worst after January 2011. They have done NOTHING since taking office, NOTHING to help the country get back on its feet. The problem with mid-terms is that the majority of Americans usually sit it out, only the general election matters to them. Had they come out and voted in the mid-terms we would not be in this mess right now.
OSAMA BIN LADEN...dead. Nuff said!!!
I just want Mr. Obama to come out with something really really big ...Huge huger than huge.....Gigundis! So big king kong would say......Noway I want no part of that! Come on MR. Obama give us a lot of amazing things we have NEVER heard before. Knock our socks off with the best news we have heard in 3 years. I know you were going to do it last year when you got back.....but really we had the Sunami and the econami and the earthquaknami and now Irenanmi. But you can do it........... Im getting so excited I feel a tingle in my legs! Huge ! Please make it H U G E !
Hysterical! Ihofe - the craziest senator of 'em all - endorses Perry. Oh, yeah - that's worth a WHOLE lot.
Pathetic.
His "good looks" remind me of Khaddafi. He uses too much "Just For Men" and wags his finger just like the Libyan dictator. Not my idea of attractive.
It's good to know that Perry thinks God left all those clues about evolution just to give scientists something to do.
'Cause there's a book that tells us exactly how the Earth was created.
Why did we waste all that money studying the planet when we have a book?
Wish we had a book on how to fix the biggest economic disaster ever left another president.....
Wait.....Wasn't that a former Texas governor who left that disaster???????
OBAMA 2012 all the way!!! Jim Jones and his kool aid brigade will never see the inside of the White House unless President Obama invites him, which I doubt. The freak that is Perry AKA Jim Jones is no better than Palin, Bachmann or any of the other American Taliban running for the presidency. If America is to turn into a theocracy yeah vote for him, otherwise ignore them they are complete morons not to mention the mental disorder they all suffer from.
REPUBS: Please, PLEASE run Perry out there for 2012. Americans will then get to see this particular brand of swaggering, dumbed-down, Bushian, Tea Party conservatism go down in flames in the general. Get him out there, and get him talking, as much as you can. America deserves a full airing of his thoughts and ideas. Then, he'll get his 30% of the vote from the people who buy into his views, and then he can go back to being Gov of Texas, where he and all his supporters can treat everyone as "ugly" as they want. It'll be as good as watching McCain and Palin get thrashed in 2008. Best part - they'll be nowhere near the levers of national power. Just like Palin. Just like it ought to be.
So Perry (who wants government to be as "inconsequential" in our lives) keeps his per diem salary, but yet the taxpayers of Texas are paying the Lt. Gov. an additional per diem for every day that Perry is out of the state. And the $10,000 a month for the mansion that he lives in should be reduced on a per diem basis for every day he is not staying there. Riiiight, smaller government my ###.
Oh yes! E.P.A.,Dept.of energy,Dept.of education,taxpayer supported but liberal run national public radio and television,cant forget the crowned jewel of the libs, Obama care.---All Gone---.also federal government unions,when the state and local governments see the how much money this is saving they will jump right in.The U.S. will be respected again and the econmy will BOOM under president perry and secretary of state mr.Trump.
