There’s an old deodorant commercial that said, “Never let see you sweat!”
That’s exactly what the White House has done by dispatching David “I love Saul Alinsky” Axelrod to attack Texas Gov Rick Perry a day before he even announces. Can you see the beads of sweat on Obama’s face?
The smart move would have been not to react at all and treat Perry’s announcement as just another guy running for president. But, as is the case with the Obama presidency, it’s been Amateur Hour at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue since January 20, 2008.

US President Barack Obama's top reelection strategist charged Friday that Republican White House hopeful and Texas Governor Rick Perry had "very little to do" with his state's economic success.
"There's a specific reason that Texas has done so well, and that's because the oil industry has done so well in the last few years, and the military has grown because of the challenges that we have had overseas," said David Axelrod.
"And so he's been the beneficiary of things that he had very little to do with," Axelrod told ABC television.
The preemptive strike came one day before Perry, who succeeded George W. Bush in the Texas governor's mansion in 2000, was to formally launch his bid for the Republican nomination to take on Obama in the November 2012 elections.
Perry, campaigning for months in all but name, has been touting his home state's growth and jobs creation over the past decade at a time when the sour national economy and its 9.1 percent unemployment rate are voters' top worry.
"I am a pro-business governor. I will be a pro-business president," Perry told Time magazine in an interview released Thursday, highlighting his opposition to taxes and regulation.
