Ariz Gov. yells at Obama
JAN BREWER, GOV. OF ARIZONA, GETS INTO ARGUMENT WITH OBAMA. By Paige Lavender
PHOENIX (HuffingtonPost.com) – Arizona Governor Jan Brewer traded words with President Obama after she greeted him at a Phoenix airport Wednesday. Brewer and Obama “spoke intensely for a few minutes” after he landed at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, according to a White House pool report. At one point, the GOP governor shook her finger at the president.
“He was a little disturbed about my book,” Brewer told a reporter after the incident, referring to her political memoir, “Scorpions for Breakfast.” In the book, Brewer depicted Obama as “patronizing” during an earlier meeting. “I said to him that I have all the respect in the world for the office of the president,” Brewer said.
“The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He said he read the excerpt. So.”
Brewer said Obama told her “that he didn’t feel I had treated him cordially.”
“I said I was sorry he felt that way but I didn’t get my sentence finished,” Brewer said. “Anyway, we’re glad he’s here. I’ll regroup.” The last time Obama met with Brewer was June 2010, when the Arizona governor visited the Oval Office for a private, 30-minute encounter the White House called a “good meeting.”
At the time, Brewer said the meeting was “very cordial,” but in her book she said Obama had been “condescending.”

If he loved this country and it’s people, he wouldn’t have opened the floodgates from hell (Mexico).

There is a minimum of 15.6 %( Government U6 number) Americans unemployed, part time, or no longer looking for work in 2012. There are 49 million Americans in poverty and 43 million Americans on food stamps. There are millions of homes in foreclosure.
Pointing out the POTUS failures is “racism”. Priceless!

Imagine that! Obama leaves Fantasyland for reality.
“I’ve talked to a lot of people who worked for Obama at the grassroots level. One of them said to me, ‘Never again. I will never be fooled again by a politician’ .You know, a one-term president with some (bleep) who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of this country, much better. If the Democrats think that they didn’t have a mandate – people are literally without any focus or leadership, just wandering out into the streets to yell right now because they are so (bleep) off. Imagine if they had a leader.” –actor and liberal Matt Damon.

‘ Stupid is as stupid does …’ Forest Gump. Why don’t you ask us in Arizona, since, it seems, we are still the Wild West. Remember .. we didn’t VOTE her in (R) after we lost our nice Democratic governor, Napalitano… she just kinda arrived, and immediately threw the light on us with laws that allow you to ‘pack’ (that’s carry a gun, rifle, oozy or whatever ) concealed, even into a bar. Good idea Brewer !! And the very same day … think about it … passed another law that allows the police force, and we were already a ‘police state’, to stop anyone for no reason and demand to see their papers of citizenship or green card. Of course, that would mean racial profiling , so if you’re of a certain ‘look’ or color, you can find yourself being harrased at any time, since it also casts a ’social eye’ on you ( they even pulled over a friend, who is American/ Black Irish
). So – police pulling over anyone at random who could be hiding a weapon hmmm. And of course, it happened almost on the first day, a police officer was killed in “The Valley of The Sun”! It goes on. This was the first stupid law of this kind, and we can’t believe that other states are entertaining same. You might also know, that when this went into effect, the thousands that have been moving into the state, buying homes and bringing money stopped, along with a boycott of the millions that used to visit this state. Desert winds blew ~ ~ ~ through buildings at the airport, down streets and across the land ~ We can’t ‘fire’ her, so someone should turn this ‘child’ over their knee. Perhaps it should be , ahhhh, the President ?!!

Someone buy this President a suit of armor. His thin skinned little tirades are embarrassing for the office. He acts like a spoiled child that either gets is way or he takes his toys and goes home. Obama wants amnesty for all illegals plain and simple. Brewer wants our border secured, and how can anyone blame her for that when her state is being over run while this current administration does nothing.
Putting some national guard troops on the border with instructions not to interfere with illegals crossing, but to observe and write up a report just so Obama could say he has put more boots on the border proves his insincerity. Federals laws that get in the way of Obama’s ideology are simply ignored and the lack of border security is just one example. Funny how this administration found it appropriate to arm the drug cartels but not the border.

Obama is too nice and wants everybody to go forward for the betterment of the country. Some people, including Brewer, can’t stop their aggressive political betterment. Obama should just blow her off like other Presidents did some governors. She is not going to vote Democratic no matter who runs on the GOP ticket. Clinton back doored Newt and he is still Pi**ed at that, Obama shouldn’t give Brewer the time of day. She will never do anything to agree with Obama and now she wants Obama to accompany her to the border – presumably to unload a truck load of guns for the Mexican Cartels.

I have never seen such a lack of respect for any other president. I assume they feel that threatened by him. I’m just disgusted and appalled by the rep. party at this point.
