Jan Brewer, Obama Face Off Over Book, Immigration Issues

[bathroommonkey76]

MESA, Ariz. -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says President Barack Obama complained to her about how she depicted him in her book.

It happened when Obama landed in Air Force One Wednesday at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, where Brewer met him on the tarmac.

According to a White House official, Brewer handed Obama a letter and said she was inviting him to meet with her. Obama said he'd be glad to even though Brewer inaccurately described their last meeting in her book, "Scorpions for Breakfast."

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."

1. LOL! I would probably be "condescending" to Jan Brewer too

if I had to meet with her.

[azureblue]

41. IOW

"that "culahd fella" doesn't know his place and he thought he could talk to me as if were equals. I sure showed him, didn't I!"

[wordpix]

56. it appears he did not "have to meet with her" ---I'm guessing she accosted him on the tarmac

She hasn't met with him since 2010.

snip: During Wednesday's encounter, Brewer handed Obama a handwritten letter asking him to sit down with her to discuss the "Arizona comeback."

"I thought we probably would've talked about the things that were important to him and important to me, helping one another," Brewer said of a potential meeting with the president. "Our country is upside down. Arizona was upside down. But we have turned it around. I know again that he loves this country and I love this country." snip

Looks like O does not have time for poor widdle Jan.

2. If you say "hello" with a smile on your face, you would be condescending to Jan. nt

[alp227]

12. Governor Brewerella de Vil?

3. jan, sorry darling... I believe there is something about...

being known by one's words and deeds.
This man has no problem showing respect to those working to make
America a better Country.

5. I guess she doesn't know the stats on Obama the Humanitarian Who All of a Sudden is Fighting for

DREAMers: 50% more deportations than under Bush!

[6000eliot]

6. How dare he expect her to treat a brown person as an equal?

[bayareaboy]

8. Russ says... ...

Where in the hell is the Secret Service?

That finger could go off then she could stab him with her chin.

[lumpy]

9. You're bad. I love you.

30. I think Green Palin is hot

She's got that "Wicked" thing going

[tabasco]

53. Looks like a rotten piece of meat to me.

To each his own.

[SaintPete]

58. Green Women

Its just a fetish, what can I say?

[tabasco]

59. If you see a resemblance between the first two and the third pic

Please get your eyes examined soon.

[SaintPete]

60. Please lighten up

because I am being extremely silly.

[Odin2005]

10. I bet $100 that the "condescending" was just projection on her part.

[MADem]

37. She thinks it's a synonym for "uppity" maybe? nt

[lonestarnot]

14. Gawd I read your post after I hit post on mine!

...sticking her finger in President Obama's face? Bitch!

If a Democratic governor had done that to george w moron there'd have been a MAJOR smear campaign.

PEACE!

OMG, that's HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!

[Botany]

17. R you kidding me?

<Brewer attended Glendale Community College where she received a radiological technologist
certificate, but never earned a degree.> From Wiki

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Brewer

Barack Obama graduated from Columbia, then Harvard Law, and taught @ the University
of Chicago as a Professor of Constitutional Law and Jan Brewer has the gall to lecture
President Obama in public about what she thinks needs to be done in the Federal Government?

[LovingA2andMI]

28. That's it???

That's all it takes to be Governor in Arizona? Who knew.

[MountainMama]

49. Yeah.....

She was Secretary of State and after Janet Naplitano went to Washington she became governor. (No Lt. Governor here.) She was behind in the polls when she had to run, but she signed the dreaded SB1070 and sailed back into office.

Perhaps the President said something she didn't like, but I'm sure he wasn't rude to her. As far as I'm concerned, a picture's worth a thousand words and seeing "my" governor with her finger in the President's face? Embarassing.

[Grassy Knoll]

21. How Funny.....

Skeletor vs He-Man.

[SoapBox]

22. ...she's a GOPathetic dirt bag.

[young_at_heart]

23. Should be a major embarrassment to Arizona

An awful lot of Republican "leaders" seem to be lacking in common decency and etiquette!

[DesertRat]

25. Believe me, she is!

[bluedeminredstate]

26. GOP code

condescending=uppity

She's got a lot of nerve waving that claw in his face. Can you imagine if a female Democrat ever pulled this with GWB? It would have been a one way ticket to Gitmo for her!

[Monk06]

27. Transparent red meat photo op for the benefit of her Teabagger base. Nobody is fooled by it.

She respects the office of the President just not the democratically
elected President. Obama was right to walk away leaving her with
her gums flapping.

[NBachers]

29. Exactly- "Lookit me, everybody! Guess I told'im!"

Can you imagine if Nancy Pelosi had done that to Bush or Cheney? Tribes of howling monkeys would be screeching and swinging in panic from tree to tree.

[COLGATE4]

33. Yeah, but with that little stunt

she assured herself of reelection. The knuckle draggers in AZ just eat that shit up:
"Yee Haw - she sure told that n----r off"

[Monk06]

57. Purple lipped prince is how the Freepers are referring to Obama now. But that's not racist.

In fact you would be racist for saying that is a racist comment.

Race pimp is what you are. Race baiter for questioning anybody's
right to comment on the color of the President's lips or the width
of the First Lady's hips.

We have a first amendment right to call the PResident a ghetto
pimp and a Halfrican. Hell Freepers have even claimed that Sacha and
Malia will end up being hookers when the reach puberty.

Nothing racist in that. Just expressing my first amendment rights.

America is reliving Selma Alabama in 1965. There are a lot of people
in America that want to turn the clock back to the 1950s or better
the 1850s.

[muriel_volestrangler]

31. Is there any video?

I'd like to know how she ended up with that finger waving about.

[wordpix]

55. video I saw shows O walking away from her

and she said something about being left while she was in mid-sentence.

[baldguy]

32. He was condescending - it just took her a year & a half to figure it out.

Condescension justified

[RoccoR5955]

34. Brewer needs more than school.

She needs a brain.
She needs to learn that neither the US, nor the state of Arizona are corporations, and they should not be ruled as such.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

36. Pour water on her, Mr. President!!!!!!!

the resemblance is startling! Someone post this to that site, "Looks Just Like" or whatever it's called.




Obama is CLASS all the way!! To stand there and not laugh in her face.....he's a better (wo)man than I!!

[SHRED]

38. She eats scorpions for breakfast?

That explains a lot.

39. Real class shows

[montanto]

40. Gosh, who would condescend to Jan Brewer?

[TruthBeTold65]

42. All ignorant people feel they are being condescended when having to listen to actual knowledge.

[xxqqqzme]

43. Obama is complaining?

Funny, that picture doesn't look like he's the one complaining.

WTF does she think she is? Waggin' her bony finger and barking at the PRESIDENT.


The complete picture of rethuglian respect for the office and the man.

[wordpix]

44. how disrespectful waving that claw at Pres. O

Just hope she gets trounced next time around

[DallasNE]

46. You Need To Read Between The Lines

In follow up comments this morning Gov. Brewer showed what she really meant. She is like so many other Republicans that view Obama as being upitty and needs to be put back in his place so she was more than willing to do her part.

[The Wizard]

47. Too drunk to govern

[eyewall]

48. Unfortunately this photo will become a poster

for the tea party/birthers/racists/nutjobs all over the country.

Jan Brewer will be a hero to insane republicans, and this photo will inspire further confrontations and perhaps even violence. I felt uneasy seeing the president walk over to that crowd.

[Blue Owl]

50. No need to pull that finger -- the stench is already overwhelming

n/t

[JDPriestly]

51. Jan Brewer was grandstanding and trying to get attention.

It is best to ignore her. Her term will end before too long, and then maybe we will get a solid Democrat in Arizona.

[Cigar11]

52. I think is is Great ... Showing their true colors

Personally I think the Republicans are too stupid to understand that everything they do is on record. Second, somehow this "Lady" would expect The President to show her respect, yet she would act Un-Lady Like.

If you ever want anyone to take you seriously, you probably shouldn't be shaking your finger in their face.

[bottom line]

54. can we put this Gov's con to rest?

Being from neighboring states: Arizona is the retirement area of the midwest, like Florida to the east. They're a conservative lot but the one thing they have, whatever their party, is manners, especially someones manners that effect upon them & the state they now call home.
Especially in light of...
One of the neighboring states is Nevada where I'm sure the odds of her getting re-elected have changed dramatically...
To rest nutcase!
