Perry: Obama’s climate jab ‘outrageous’

By Ben Geman - 09/26/11 09:38 AM ET

Texas governor and GOP White House hopeful Rick Perry isn’t taking kindly to President Obama’s decision to mention the Lone Star State’s recent wildfires in attacking Perry’s climate change skepticism.


Obama, at a California fundraiser Sunday night, took aim at the GOP field and Perry in particular, noting, “You’ve got a governor whose state is on fire denying climate change.”

Perry spokesman Mark Miner shoots back: “It's outrageous President Obama would use the burning of 1,500 homes, the worst fires in state history, as a political attack.”
