Perry was speaking about illegal immigration when he made the flub, which immediately went viral. (The flub occurs at the 0:24 seconds mark.)
Needless to say, the Internet reacted with enthusiasm.

Rick Perry Denies Saying “Ronald Raven”
As the memes and Internet jokes grew in number, Perry’s campaign released a statement denying the flub entirely, insisting that the former Governor of Texas “clearly said Ronald Reagan.”
The people are not convinced.
