Gov. Rick Perry Receives Endorsement in Oklahoma from U.S. Sen. James Inhofe; Pledges to Lift Regulations on Oil and Natural Gas Industries – Video 8/29/11

Here is a video report on Gov. Rick Perry making a stop in Tulsa, Oklahoma this afternoon to receive the endorsement of Oklahoma U.S. Senator James Inhofe for President.

After Inhofe’s endorsement, Perry made brief remarks, saying he intends to lift regulations on drilling for oil in states like Oklahoma that will create jobs and help make America more energy independent.

He also made it clear that if he is elected President, “I will never send our young men and women into places where America’s interests are not clearly defined.”

Perry also made use of a line I had not heard him use before: “Americans don’t believe our country is in decline, but that rather Washington is in decline.” That’s a good one.
