Obama’s Coming to Town, Texas Democrats Run for the (Unsecured) Border

Obama’s planning on being in Texas next week to raise funds for Texas Democrats. Sadly (laughably?), those very same Democrats are not willing to be seen within a King’s Ranch-throw of President Obama while he’s in town, because they know that Obama is toxic and will cost them voters, rather than the other way around.

But while Bill White and his cronies hide from their party’s tax-and-spend, deficit-growing, Chicago-style president, taxpayers cannot escape the damage his failed policies have done, are doing, and will do, to the economy of the nation. Add to it the undeclared war his administration has claimed on Texas, the nation’s top economy, and it’s surprising any Democrat will even show up to meet him at the airport.

In fact, the only Texas politician who is willing to meet with President Obama is Governor Rick Perry. Whom Obama is too afraid to meet with.

Remember back in January of this year, when The Thin Skinned One assured Democrat candidates that they had nothing (NOTHING I tell you!) to fear because he was on their side:

Berry recounted meetings with White House officials, reminiscent of some during the Clinton days, where he and others urged them not to force Blue Dogs “off into that swamp” of supporting bills that would be unpopular with voters back home.

“I’ve been doing that with this White House, and they just don’t seem to give it any credibility at all,” Berry said. “They just kept telling us how good it was going to be. The president himself, when that was brought up in one group, said, ‘Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me.’ We’re going to see how much difference that makes now.”

Compare that message with this one that Barack is giving to those same endangered Democrats:

WASHINGTON — As lunch was served in the Roosevelt Room of the White House one day last week, President Obama assured the nine Democratic members of Congress sitting around the table that he would do anything he could to help them survive their fall elections.

Even, he said, if it meant staying away.

“You may not even want me to come to your district,” Mr. Obama said, according to guests, nearly all of whom hold seats that Republicans are aggressively seeking.

It reminds me of the cowardly Texas Senate Democrats who fled the state for Albuquerque, New Mexico for 46 days in 2003 to avoid having to vote on something they didn’t like. Cowards, the whole lot of ‘em.

Oh, and my offer still stands to any of you big-talking Liberal bloggers and media mouthpieces here in Austin — $100 says that not a single Democrat wins a statewide election in Texas in 2010.

That’s right, I’m saying that the winners will be:

Governor: Rick Perry (R)
Lt. Governor: David Dewhurst (R)
Attorney General: Greg Abbott (R)
Comptroller: Susan Combs (R)
Land Commissioner: Jerry Patterson (R)
Agriculture Commissioner: Todd Staples (R)
Rail Road Commissioner (R)
Supreme Court, Place 3: Debra Lehrmann (R)
Supreme Court, Place 5: Paul Green (R)
Supreme Court, Place 9: Eva Guzman (R)
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 2: Lawrence Meyers (R) (no Democrat on the ticket)
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 5: Cheryl Johnson (R) (no Democrat on the ticket)
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, Place 6: Keith Hampton (R)
