DEL.ICIO.USWhite House time for Franklin, Perdue
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Up in Washington, my AJC colleague Bob Keefe says that both Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin and Gov. Sonny Perdue will get some face time — however distant — with President Barack Obama over the next few days.
This morning, Franklin and about 60 other mayors are scheduled to have a 45-minute meeting with Obama, Vice President Joseph Biden and top cabinet members to discuss the stimulus package and what it means to their cities.
The visit has been organized by the United States Conference of Mayors.
On Monday, Perdue will meet with the president and his staff as part of the National Governors Association’s winter meetings being held in Washington.

Perdue is embarrassing enough, do we have to let the President meet him so he can find out first hand what a loser Perdue is?

The president could stand to ask Governor Perdue some advice on governing, considering that the esteemed governor has more than twice the experience than the your president.

So, “jimmy”, who is your president and what is he doing for the country?

Experience doesn’t count for much if it’s all bad. Sonny and his posse have screwed up this state as much as I thought they possibly could but, the session isn’t over yet so…I could be wrong.

uh, twice as much experience at what? he’s an overgrown,turncoat that’s balding, is empty-eyed, empty-headed, temper tantrum pitching, lying, cheating, blowhard, so I ask you what in the world kind of advice could he give to President Obama?
