With 1,500 guests, the turnout to the annual Summer Dinner in Birmingham on Friday was the biggest in Alabama GOP history, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Perry, 61, the keynote speaker at the event, told the appreciative southerners:
“Texas and Alabama have a lot in common. Y’all have a little different barbecue than we have…but like Texas, you’re gearing up for an even better Republican result in 2017.”
He was referring to the “conservative tide in the 2010 elections that captured all of Alabama’s state offices for the state’s Republicans,” the Chronicle writes.
In what was being compared to a stump speech, he also attacked President Barack Obama on his jobs record and discussed his own — a subject that is expected to be a pillar of his presidential campaign.
“They’re true believers,” Perry reportedly said of the Obama administration. “They truly believe that the federal government is the answer to every need.”
He called Obama a “threat to every private sector job out there.”
