Rick Perry is just being a horse's ass.
The White House had a Christmas message/service for the troops, Michelle Obama & Jill Biden
have been working for them non stop, and the White House issued a statement that the
best homecoming greetings would be by family, friends, and at their bases where they
are stationed @.

URBANDALE, Iowa - Texas Gov. Rick Perry opened up a new line of criticism against President Obama today, saying he hadn't shown the proper courtesy in welcoming troops returning home from the war in Iraq.
"It really disturbs me that after nine years of war in Iraq, this president wouldn't welcome our many heroes home with a simple parade in their honor," Perry said during a meet-and-greet with the West Side Conservative Club here. He speculated that there was no parade due to the war's unpopularity among Democrats.
"I don't know," he said. "But Mr. President, our soldiers come first, and it comes before party politics."
