President Barack Obama is heading to Central Texas Thursday afternoon. Air Force One is expected to touch down at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport around noon. As the Texas Tribune reported this morning, Gov. Rick Perry will be waiting for the president's arrival just as he was in August 2010. As the Tribune's Aman Batheja reports: In August 2010, Perry greeted Obama as his plane landed at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and gave him a letter urging the president to send more troops to the Texas-Mexico border. Just after noon on Thursday, as Obama steps off Air Force One in Austin, Perry plans to be again waiting on the tarmac. This time, with a message about the economy. “Gov. Perry simply plans to welcome the president to Texas and perhaps encourage him to implement Texas’ successful economic policies nationwide,” Perry spokesman Josh Havens said. Mr. Obama's trip to Austin is to tout a school and a business that exemplify the president's push to promote economic growth through technology. The White House says the president will visit Manor New Tech High School around 1 p.m. That school is teaching life skills to its students, which administrators hope will lead to jobs in the high tech industry. "I'm hoping to see him, maybe get a picture with him, but I just want to hear what he says because it's a moment that we'll really never have again," Manor New Tech student Pete Stone said. When President Obama is done visiting the high school, he will visit workers at Applied Materials, a computer chip company located in the northeast corner of the city between Round Rock and Cedar Park. He will be speaking there around 4:40 p.m. The Tribune reported that the Austin City Council and the mayor will recess a meeting so they can attend the president's visit. He'll be heading back to the White House just before 5:30 p.m. "Mr. Obama's trip to Austin is to tout a school and a business that exemplify the president's push to promote economic growth through technology." Like he did Solyndra?

I wonder, why did he have to come to Texas to recognize something that he hasn't done?
