Obama versus Arizona Governor Jan Brewer

President Obama got into a bit of a confrontation with Arizona Governor Jan Brewer when he arrived in Arizona the other day. Glenn had Mike Broomhead, a fellow radio host who has filled in for Glenn over the holidays, about the incident this morning. Broomhead said that the confrontation was so intense that pool reporters called him and said they needed to be covering the story. Broomhead spoke to the Governor and she told him that Obama claimed she was unfair to him in her book, Scorpions for Breakfast, and that the President took her letter and quickly tossed it into the limo. You can hear Broomhead describe his conversation with Governor Brewer about the confrontation in the clip above.

    I heard this on the radio yesterday; this visit by Obama wound up causing disruptions around this end of my home city and caused many of the construction workers a day of unpaid wages due to not beign able to do their job.

    So Obama arrives and has a major fit with our governor, and the very book ‘Scorpions for Breakfast’ he claims to have only read highlights of, and not the whole book itself. So once again we see the narcissistic, god complex of our President in action. This has shown for all the true character of Obama for those who will bother to look at it and see the truth.

    i can see Obama saying “how dare you don’t you know that i am a God” to be frank Obama’s ego was hurt. if Newt does win it going to be fun to watch them going at eachother. why do you give a dang if one woman does not like your job. infact only 38% likes the job that you are doing.

    Did you not see the light shining on Obama during his speech. He is the annointed Angel/Superman/Hero of the Democratic Party. Jan was using him to sell a book. Hey that’s fine. This IS America and you are free to munipulate the truth for money all you want. It’s the American Way.

    Also the American Way is my boi Barack leaving her yapping on the tarmac. Then her begging to apologize later with a cheap lunch bribe. She just keeps on making a fool of herself with every medie spotlight. But it does take the focus off Palin and Bachman and that I am not a witch lady.

    “Thin skin” is not the correct word to use when describing Oblamo.  He really should grow a couple and start behaving like a President.  How ridiculous and humiliating is this guy in the eyes of the world.  I don’t call him my President and I will never call him my President.  I didn’t vote for the guy and I don’t support anyone who wants and desires to destroy this great Country. I have several names for him, some I can’t repeat but to me Oblamo is and always will be the Narcissist-in-Chief…among other things.

The TRUTH is ,what really HURT Obama, that’s why he can’t take it or tell it !! AND Hurrah for Georgia, they are taking him down. and again he cries. Every state should bring suit against Obama for trying to have  his name on the ballot. He isn’t a US citizen. He isn’t even the real President !

    My wife and I got caught on the freeway adjacent to the airport where he landed, in a dead stop for probably what seemed like 20 minutes.  They closed the freeways before and after he landed and before and after he took off.  All the construction workers at INTEL got the whole day off courtesy of his visit, NON-PAID time off.  Maybe when they got to return to their jobs today, he will be counting them ALL as “jobs created.”

    No one strikes out more than Obama does when his feelings get hurt. The problem with that, the Nation suffers when he throws his tantrums. Just look at what happened in Arizona and the Governor of that State. You know the State that he’s suing because they are enforcing the Feds immigration laws when Obama won’t!

    hotchile,  I live in CA and have heard other Mexican Americans speak

    out in the same way you do.  However, the Democrats have rounded up

    many others who think the opposite of you and they are the ones who

    the media cover in their reports.   Therefor, there are a lot of people who

    are unaware that there is some ”push back” from those who do oppose

    illegals and want border protection and are proud to be Mexican

    Americans.

    barbara.  I had heard there would be only two debates

    between B.O. and the GOP candidate before the elec-

    with Santorum on more positions than any of the others,

    but I will not hesitate to vote for the one who gets the

    nomination.   I’m with Ryan.  I’d love to see any debate

    between B.O. and Newt.  If there were 7 of them, even

    better.   Wonder if B.O. would ever stomp off the stage

    if he got upset?     “Oh, I wasn’t feeling well and was a

    little afraid I might even pass out.”

    Um, Kid, would there be a teleprompter in the court to ”aid” the Prez in his answers?

    Thank you, hotchile.
    You know, you’re an “American.”  Just as I’m an “American.”  My former country doesn’t even have to be mentioned now.  I CHOSE America.

    I know “legal” Hispanic immigrants who are furious with the way the government it demeaning their willingness to obtain citizenship, and how demeaning it is to them to have their fellow hispanics bowing to the handouts and slave tactics this government is forcing on them.  They have come to this country to be slaves to the governement now.

    Please tell your fellow Americans of your race how important it is to be able to hold your head up and be proud of your new country.  Your parents did it right and you are the result of their pride.
    Thanks again.

    Jan Brewer, Governor of Arizona, was not “finger-wagging” at the President. She was merely talking and hand gesturing as she talked and the photographer merely captured a nanosecond of that conversation (like a freeze-frame of a hummingbird wing). Had the Governor been a Democrat that picture would likely never seen the light of day. But when a (more than likely) liberal Democrat rat sees a chance to make a Republican look bad you can count on the whole world seeing it.

  • Anonymous

    But it doesn’t make a Republican look bad, quite the contrary!  Someday in the future, when Jan Brewer runs for higher office (as I hope she does), her campaign will bring out that photo to show that you don’t MESS with this woman–and it’ll be a huge plus.  Just watch…

    Leaving someone in the middle of a conversation is what the man does, if he doesn’t like what he’s hearing or the conversation isn’t to his liking.  The man is rude and especially NOT a very good example.   I just can’t understand why Jan would try to appologize later.  I do believe she should have went right after him and said to his face.  “Thanks for turning your back on me”  then turned and walked away!!!!

    Dear Hotchile.  I married into a legal Mexican family 40 years ago (I am caucasian).  They love this country. My daughter still lives in California and because of her ties to the Mexican heritage I was afraid to approach her on the subject of illegal aliens.  Come to find out, she is very strong in her conviction that they are harming our country.
    I am so proud of my little girl because of what she has done for herself.
    In her early teens she fell into the gangs because of her skin color and last name. We were not really poor but I did end up being a single parent, and lived in a community with many illegal aliens of all nations.  
    My daughter dropped out of school and I prayed she would come to her senses.  She left home, started living with anyone who would take her in. She was incorrigible and it didn’t take long for these families would find out what she was like and kick her out. In her late teens and early 20′s I lost all contact with her and I feared for her life.
    I believe because of her Christian upbringing . . . she is now the proud mother of a 5-year old and she has a baby on the way – she is a nurse, and married happily for the last 7 years. And she is married to what I feel is the most wonderful man – and how often does a mother-in-law love her son-in-law, so he must be wonderful!  And I even like the mother-in-law.  LOL
    My point I’m trying to make is that the illegals have not worked hard to be here – they do not appreciate our America – they’ve been given so many freebies and they only want more. Had my daughter not had the background of seeing me work so hard, and the background of a Christian lifestyle, she may now be dead.
    And the more these damn progressives try to keep the impoverished down, the more they will drag us all down.

  • Anonymous

    Yes, obama is rounding up the illegals and they will vote – be assured. The whole thing about not having to show a picture id to vote is a ploy to have illegals vote – and others (like union members who have to keep the democrats in power so they can keep their power) will be voting more times than is legal.
    So let me tell you about a union that my union is affiliated with. I work in the clerical side of the teachers’ union.  The teachers hate Bush – I mean really hate Bush.  They hate him for a variety of reasons, but the one they name the most is the “No Child Left Behind” bill.  Do you know that this bill was first created by Ted Kennedy, back in the 80′s I believe - you know him. But they seem to forget the author, only know they can blame it on Bush – because it makes them responsible for the lack of accomplishment in their students – and heaven forbid, they should be held responsible for their kids learning something.
    I’m just glad I’m now hearing that “tenure” is starting to get a little attention – I don’t believe in tenure – BECAUSE YOU’VE BEEN EMPLOYED FOR THREE YEARS, YOU SHOULD BE IMMUNE FROM DISMISSAL IF YOU CAN’T PERFORM??”  No way!!

    U.S citizens ,Congress ,Israel versus President obama on what really is his true agenda of what he speaks or his actions!!!??? Our con artists President obama is at it again in trying dupe U.S citizens,Congress and Israel with his words he is keeping the military option open on preventing Iran to become nuclear ,P.S look at his actions and non-actions! It’s been over a year now we been observing Iran with satellites and stealth drones in harding it nuclear sites covering them with additional layers steel plate,concrete,earth,and rocks !!! Our military leaders and obama military advisors must of told obama in the past act soon or we won’t have a bunker busters to penetrate we be left with costly ground option or start trying develope a new more penetrating and powerful bunker busters for these increase harden nuclear sites he did nothing! It a arm race like a tank armour and anti tank round in this case the increase hardening of Iran nuclear sites  and the bunker buster bomb technology!!!  Now obama should of acted in the past to develop a new bunker buster bomb to keep up with the arm race ,Question was this on purpose by obama to let military option slip away while with words he keeping military option open???? Today government annouce have a rush program to try in developing a new bunker buster bomb, if we can develop such weapon in time! Hey obama is this one of your one half try for cover and you know by time we do develop this bomb Iran may be nuclear,is just a ploy to give Iran more time ,or way to wiggle out your words we don’t have bunker buster bomb that can penetrate these harden bunkers no miltary option! To me our military and it’s leaders are great ,but buck stop with obama who is bent on Iran in becoming a nuclear power while with words he trying dupe U.S citizens ,congress and Israel he against it ,his actions and non actions conflicts with his BS words!!!!  Hey obama it a little late to shut the barn door with rush developement of a new bunker buster bomb the horse of nuclear  Iran half way out!!!

The country of Iran have made threats they want to kill the Great Satan = U.S and all infidels and possible hand off of nuclear weapons to terrorists with no return address smuggle into U.S !!! Now obama took a sworn oath to defend our country from threats !!! Question did he do a inpeachable act in past to not act and rush developement of new bunker buster bomb at that time for military option to prevent a nuclear threat to our cities!! Or does he want a nuclear strike on our cities so we have economy collapse because,he thinks we live too high should be brought down to third world level???

    Sec of Defense Panetta announce today Jan 29 Iran is year away from acquire a nuclear weapon per intelligence ??? The first time we went into Iraq we found that Iraq was far advance of deveolping a nuclear weapon than our intelligence had knowledge of ! Second time we enter Iraq our intelligence thought Iraq was on brink in having a nuclear weapon when it was false ruse to fool Iraq neigbors! Now our President obama and his pawn Sec. Defense want us to believe that our intelligence have the timetable of Iran getting nuclear weapon to absolute science which is BS! They could be wrong it could be three months or 6 months from now !!!  They putting Israel survival a stake they could be wrong with the timetable. Or could Panetta be adding to obama ruse saying to Israel you have a definite year (which is BS) U.S  will act at the last minute???? Could Panetta statement further ensure  Israel there is time ,no need for pre-emptive strike,while Israel option of effective strike slipping away,because Iran increase hardening of nuclear sites ,Russian anti -aircraft SAM300  missile be operational,sites be more disperse and greater number !   To  me in Israel  they must be thinking obama is setting up Israel for nuclear attack from Iran any time soon 3,6,9  months from now !!! Our President using a ruse of a scam  on Israel to  delay a pre-emptive strike by Israel which would be effective if  done soon to remove Iran nuclear threats.Question how can Israel or any nation take chance on all it citizens lifes if U.S timetable is wrong, Or can Israel  trust our weak knee back stabbing President obama may act after the fact Israel wipe off face the earth or not act at all and Israel  have no option except nuclear pre-emptive strike!! ,Because obama held Israel back on their pre-emptive strike options when it would be effective in removing the nuclear threat!!

He himself wont enforce the federal immigration laws, so he gets pissed when a woman does the job for him, and feels like his authority is in danger, plus he feels his manhood insulted when a woman does a job he cant or wont. So he sues her. Then, he runs away in the middle of a discussion when it got too hot for him.

    I myself have ancestors who came on the Mayflower, and some who were already here, but that’s really unimportant to this discussion. What matters is, where do we go from here? Do we continue to break into little tribes and factions, and continue to Balkanize this nation? Do we want to see the United States gain back her former strength and glory, so that she can continue to be a beacon of freedom to all who seek a new life, or do we give in to the takers who come here illegally, as well as the ones who were born here and want to sit back and take, take, take everything they can from those of us who actually try to work and pay our own way?
