Perry Decries Obama’s Wildfire Jab

Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry’s camp fired back at President Barack Obama’s slam of the Texas governor over global warming Sunday, Politico reports.

At a fundraiser in California, Obama called Perry "a governor whose state is on fire, denying climate change."

Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan responded in an email today: "It's outrageous President Obama would use the burning of 1,500 homes, the worst fires in state history, as a political attack. This from a president whose nation is financially suffering and his solution is taking more money away from families by raising taxes on families and small businesses."
