Rick Perry CPAC Speech: Governor Speaks At Annual Conservative Conference

Perry Gives Speech At Major Conservative Gathering

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) addressed the 2013 Conservative Political Action Conference on Thursday.

Perry used the speech to take a hit at President Barack Obama, criticizing the release of thousands of undocumented immigrations from immigration jails due to budget constraints in February.

"This president's posture, it'd be laughable if he hadn't taken it one step too far, dangerously releasing criminals onto our streets to make a political point," Perry said. "When you have a federally-sponsored jailbreak -- and don't get confused, that's exactly what that is -- when you've had a federally-sponsored jailbreak, you've crossed the line from politics of spin to politics as a craven form of cynicism."
