This is seriously awkward. Even more awkward than the drunken best man speech I gave at Pat’s wedding. And Pat can tell you, that was pretty darn awkward.
Here, Perry announces he’ll cut three agencies but then can’t remember the third one. And it’s not just that he can’t remember. It’s everyone’s waiting for him to remember and the moment goes on and on and on. And then on a little more long enough to make anyone with a heart cringe for the guy. Things got so awkward that he asked Ron Paul. Note: Don’t ask the guy who wants to cut all the federal agencies.
I mean, seriously awkward.
The only question about Rick Perry and the Presidency is who he’s going to endorse for President. And will it matter?

I don't think that's as awkward as described. Everyone has a moment like that. He didn't panic and turn all weak.

Good grief! What a joke. And no, don't ask the only guy who knows economics, the only guy who predicted the mess we are in, the only guy who stands for rule of law, he who Must Not Be Named. I mean, we simply MUST have all of "our" unelected federal agencies to hound and plague us. Does ANYONE believe Perry plans to cut ANYTHING??

Perry is too slow for DC…..plus he looks like Reagan and talks like Bush. Jimmy Cramer from CNBC is 65 years old and answers rapid fire questions day and evening on that stock market network. His retention capacity about a host of stocks and his fast response to questions on stocks is so much more rapid than Perry, it's mind boggling. There are many great intellects in the US but….they're making huge salaries within business and are not running for office.
