The Day Obama Met The Feisty Governor

That was today, and the feisty governor is Jan Brewer of Arizona:
President Obama’s visit to Phoenix got off to a rough start on Wednesday afternoon when Air Force One was met by Gov. Jan Brewer of Aizona —she of the book “Scorpions for Breakfast,” in which she accuses the Obama administration of turning a blind eye to illegal immigration because migrants will help Mr. Obama register more Democratic votes.

Mr. Obama stepped off the plane and was greeted by Ms. Brewer, who handed him a handwritten letter in an envelope that she later said was an invitation to discuss the “Arizona comeback.” The two had an intense exchange for several minutes; at one point Ms. Brewer pointed her finger at Mr. Obama.

Afterward, she told reporters that Mr. Obama “was a little disturbed about my book.”

“I said to him that I have all the respect in the world for the office of the president,” she said. “The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He said he read the excerpt. So.”

At one point, the two seemed to be talking at the same time, seemingly over each other. Mr. Obama appeared to walk away from Ms. Brewer while she was still talking.

Asked what aspect of the book disturbed him, Ms. Brewer said: “That he didn’t feel that I had treated him cordially. I said I was sorry he felt that way but I didn’t get my sentence finished. Anyway, we’re glad he’s here. I’ll regroup.”
We need to stop being so cordial. It's time for a governor to say "I'm not glad he's here - his policies are damaging my state and the sooner he's out of here and out of office the better." That's the kind of welcome Obama deserves.

The Obama administration launched United States v. Arizona, in other words, President Obama is suing Governor Brewer to keep her from protecting the citizens of Arizona.

Aside from the lawsuit, Obama's DOJ has made an absolute bloody mess by deliberately arming Mexican drug cartels to kill those in Arizona, among other states and countries. One of his prosecutors has even decided to plead the fifth -when was the last time that happened? Isn't it the DOJ that's supposed to get mob bosses to mumble "I decline to answer on the grounds that it may incriminate me"?

I'm amazed she would even meet with him.
