Shocked, I am. Completely shocked.

The good governor has a book to sell. That's pretty much all you need to know.

strathcona: We get it, Gov Brewer. The black man scared you challenged you.

And the only adult in the conversation, as always, stayed cool. They're going to have to do better than Gov. Brewer to rattle the President.

The best part about this is that come reelection time she will be saying, "Reelect the woman who faced down Obama in a tense showdown of wills. and won."

If Obama was really threatening her, he would of held a bucket of water over her head...ding, dong!

I reiterate: the thing that I find amusing about this "showdown" is that folks are upset that the President didn't hide behind interviews, didn't put out a book, didn't air his laundry, but told someone to their face how he felt, and this is supposedly a bad thing.

Bad, only because there's no proof of the words spoken, only their effect on a woman whose commitment to fiscal responsibility was to hook her state into 30 years of rent payments on State buildings, as opposed to looking at the tax structure in a state that saw an amazing housing boom. Brewer is upset that she didn't get a sound bite along with her photo-op, and is upset that she got told off by the HNIC, and got herself flushed and quivery about it on someone's long lens.

She thought that she'd bait the President into a confrontation, and she got told off, and it wasn't to her liking. Brewer is a perennial victim, and it's always someone else's fault for her failings. At some point, it would be nice if someone just took some damn responsibility. She pushed, she got told, in most playgrounds, you get whupped in public, you pick up your teeth and go home, and preserve some dignity, in this case, she got off even easier--she got told off, and to her face, and now she's screeching to the playground about what a meanie face the President was to her, as opposed to just keeping words to themselves.

The woman was never elected to that office. She assumed it from the line of succession.

It seems to me that there are a lot of old white Republicans who like to disrespect the President.

It's understandable that she's stressed out. Look how near the President is.

Someone should tell her profile pics are not her friend

WorldCitizen: Arizona, next time around you might want to choose a governor who is not a complete failure at life.

Once again; She wasn't elected, she assumed off after the previous governor went to work for Mr. Obama. Link (new window)

office, not off

FTFM

Who's taking bets that this was a candidacy test? If Brewer's story resonated with the public and actually got people on her side against Obama, I bet the GOP would have rallied behind her and FAST.

HOTY candidate +1

That's become such a cliché in Republican politics that I thought you were kidding (new window)

Yep, Obama really looks like the tense one in that photograph, while she appears totally cool, calm and collected, her finger casually raised in the air, her face a mask of serenity.

Dear Mr. President,

Welcome to Arizona!

You've arrived in a state at the forefront of America's economy - and her future. We were at the brink. We were at the bottom of the list in job creation. Today, we have a balanced budget and we're in the top 10 for job creation.

I'm proud of that hard-won recovery - the result of many tough decisions, courage and perseverance.

My hope is while you are here you will have a chance to see our tremendous results first hand.

We both love this great country, but we fundamentally disagree on how to best make America grow and prosper once again. I'd love an opportunity to share with you how we've been able to turn Arizona around with hard choices that turned out to be the right ones.

And, of course, my offer to visit the border - and buy lunch - still stands!

With respect,

Jan

This woman should just keep a low profile and limit her politicking to introducing other speakers until her term expires.
And get someone to help her with her meds.

\can we agree on that?

Jan Brewer has Alzheimer's.

Not only that, but she is probably the least educated governor in the USA. She doesn't even have an Associate's degree.


A challenger appears!

You mean the woman in this picture with her finger in Obama's face and he mouth fully open like she is yelling that then ran to the press right after might be at fault?

But both sides are just as bad (even if only the Republicans did something bad)... so vote Republican!

Republicans all know Obama was being "Uppity" and he should be "Shown his place".

Almost 1/4 of our Presidents didn't graduate from college. George Washington didn't. Andrew Jackson didn't. Neither did Harry Truman. Abraham Lincoln only had about 1 year of formal schooling of any kind. Jan Brewer is just trying to revive that fine tradition. Seen from that perspective, Jan Brewer is more qualified to be President than Obama.

chimp_ninja: I pointed this out in a prior thread, but this conversation was with the President, in full view of the press and a massive security contingent. And she's "threatened"? What, Obama is going to backhand her? Seekrit muslin kung-fu her down?

Gov. Brewer: The idea of a 'dog whistle' is that only your 'dogs' hear it. If everyone can hear it, it's just a whistle, and all you're doing is calling attention to what an idiot you are.

Yeah why would she feel threatened *black man* from the president *black man* standing there and talking to her *black man* while everyone was watching them *black man*? I am sorry. Is the president known for attacking *black man* people for some reason? *black man*
