Obama tangles with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer over immigration book
Brewer attempted to hand Obama a letter, which she later told reporters was an invitation to sit down with her to discuss “Arizona’s comeback” and to tour the U.S.-Mexican border with her.
That’s when things went sour. Obama and Brewer engaged in what reporters described as an “intense exchange,” with the Republican governor pointing her finger at the president and the two appearing to talk over each other.
The exchange ended when Obama abruptly walked away as Brewer appeared to still be speaking, according to a summary provided by reporters in the press pool that shadows the president on his trips.
Asked about the conversation, Brewer told the reporters that Obama was “a little disturbed” about her book, “Scorpions for Breakfast: My Fight Against Special Interests, Liberal Media, and Cynical Politicos to Secure the Border.’’
The book, which was published two months ago, details her conservative approach to dealing with the state’s illegal immigration challenges. An article in the Arizona Republic last fall said that Brewer cast Obama as “patronizing and condescending.”
She portrayed the federal government as “out of control” and said that the president lectured her during a June 2010 meeting in the Oval Office, the newspaper reported.
“He didn’t feel that I had treated him cordially” in the book, Brewer told reporters Wednesday. “I said to him that I have all the respect in the world for the office of the president. The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He said he read the excerpt.”
[...] “Anyway, we’re glad he’s here,” a shaken Brewer said. “I’ll regroup.”
Hahah. Yes, you do that, Jan. Maybe you haven’t heard, but actions have consequences. Apparently the “office of the president” isn’t impressed with you or your little book.
I love that he walked away from her in mid-screech.
If a Democratic governor, or a black governor, had gotten in George W. Bush’s face like this the way Arizona governor Jan Brewer did [yesterday] with Barack Obama, the media would have a field day. I also have to seriously wonder if she would have pulled this crap if the President were white.
Jan Brewer owes the President an apology.

Maybe she does owe him an apology. But, if I were her, I’d hang that picture on my office wall!
If you were her you’d be old and ugly.
Looks like President Obama is trying to get downwind from the stench of this harridan women. Her persistent malfeasance is a disgrace to the citizens of Arizona. When she said she had to regroup, I guess that means time for another Absolute Vodka shot.
this is purely a communist or marxist commenting on jan brewer.
she is simply following the constitutional laws that is her duty not to be swayed
by every little whim a marxist president has/the reason he was offended simply put is he is a marxist with ideas of fashism expansion. we have not truly followed capitalism and the constitution for about 50 years slowly eroding all of those freedom giving principles.
they want a dictatorship and that is what the camps are for its for all who arent useful idiots..
i dont care about someones race this is a marxist ploy to turn people against each other.
you cant make the blind to see.my best friend growing up was black he had strong integrity
and was just like anyone else i never thought about skin color.this is simply a political wildcard
to get obama back for 4 more years/by then we will have marshall law /planned by the m/i/complex theres a lot about obama we dont know.such as he goes back to the crown with ties to the crown.he is not a freedom loving constitutionalist he studied the constitution
so that he could twist it into his way of thinking.martin luther king would have made a much better president he was not bought off by the establishment.open your eyes america before the dawn of freedom is dead………………………………
Do you think if someone had done that to G.W. Bush the secret service would’ve taken that person to the ground? Too bad they didn’t do that to ugly, old Brewer.
How interesting that the one person on this post who seems to have the least grasp on reality is passing judgment on others… It’s the republican way, be wrong about everything but do the most yelling and name calling and hope that people only remember the tantrum and not the complete absence of facts. Jan Brewer has built her entire career on hatred and bigotry. Were it not for her pretending every problem in our state and our country is because of the brown people, she would be sitting home watching judge Judy and reality TV. In the meantime her governing has been a disaster and an endless string of her getting kickbacks for selling off government buildings, resources… like the private prisons who keep getting caught working deals with judges to give unreasonable sentences and finding innocent people guilty just so they can get paid by taxpayers to keep their prisons full.
Jan Brewer might be the dumbest person ever to hold a Governor’s office of all time. Whether it was hatred, bigotry or stupidity that prompted the people of Arizona to vote for her… I gotta ask, are you embarrassed by your vote yet?

Wow! I can’t believe anyone would defend this behavior! But then , Rethuglicans have all lost their minds. Look at who they are trying to run for President! They obviously have no respect for the office of the Presidency, or for people of color. Old,RICH , White Guys are on the ropes and they KNOW it. They will do anything to preserve the status quo. Unfortunately for them , they are fighting a losing battle. It will be good to see ugly , old crones like Brewer get their comeupance! Maybe the combination of sun damage and botox has paralyzed her aged brain? She is ugly inside and out!
