I questioned the accuracy of this news story when I saw it, but unfortunately it seems to be true: President Obama sent help to Mexico to aid in their battle against a 386 square mile wildfire, while snubbing Texas' request for help with wildfires damaging 2.5 million acres (roughly 39,000 square miles). I have yet to see him rationalize this bizarre decision, but it's of a piece with many of his other anti-American decisions: suing the state of Arizona for daring to attempt to keep US borders secure, making the Gulf of Mexico off-limits to US oil drilling, his anti-Israel attitude, etc.
Whatever disagreements Obama has with Texas' Governor Perry, he should pretend for a moment that he knows how to act presidential, momentarily lay aside his zeal for Chicago-style political thuggery, and do what's right.
