Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is on a press tour giving her side of the testy exchange with President Obama where she was photo’d waving her finger in the Commander in Chief’s face on Wednesday afternoon after he landed in Arizona on a tour stop to support his State of the Union speech Tuesday night.
As reported earlier, the confrontation centered on Brewer’s newly released book – “Scorpions for Breakfast: My Fight Against Special Interests, Liberal Media, and Cynical Politicos to Secure the Border” – which details her conservative approach to dealing with the state’s illegal immigration challenges.
A review published in the Arizona Republic said that Brewer casts Obama as “condescending” and skewers him repeatedly. The newspaper said, “in the book she calls the president ‘patronizing’ and said ‘he lectured me.’”

“He didn’t feel that I had treated him cordially” in the book, Brewer told reporters Wednesday. “I said to him that I have all the respect in the world for the office of the president. The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He said he read the excerpt.”
“He brought up my book and he was a little tense,” Brewer said in an interview with KFYI radio.
“He said he read the excerpt and didn’t think I was very cordial. I said we’d have to agree to disagree. He was a little thin-skinned and tense, to say the least.”
So what about the finger in the prez’s face? Well, she says she’s always been expressive with her hands and didn’t mean any disrespect.
SIDEBAR: I’m calling for a NATIONAL PROTEST of Jan Brewer by, phone calls, direct mail, email, facebook, twitter, here & now. He is the President of the United States, whether you believe in him or not. Showing disrespect by behavior, actions and lies. This is not the first time she has pulled this. And she is not the only ELECTED OFFICIAL, that has done that. I guess her book is not selling well, so you up the cost with free publicty by embarassing yourself. At least President Obama had enough respect to walk away from your monkey azz, and let you stand there and look like a damn fool. Bytch please!

No one has been able to explain to me why young men…… and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay. While Politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and women, and receive full pay retirement after serving one term. It just does not make any sense.
On Fox news they learned that the staffers of Congress family members are exempt from having to pay back student loans. This will get national attention if other news networks will broadcast it. When you add this to the below, just where will all of it stop?
35 States file lawsuit against the Federal Government
Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.
This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.
This is an idea that we should address.
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. Many citizens had no idea that members of Congress could retire with the same pay after only one term, that they specifically exempted themselves from many of the laws they have passed (such as being exempt from any fear of prosecution for sexual harassment) while ordinary citizens must live under those laws. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform… in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn’t seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don’t care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
If each person that receives this will post it on their wall, in three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: “Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ..”
Now, what are you going to do about it? Read and delete, or work for reform? Share on the wall of EVERY congressman, representative, governor, the white house!!!!! Pass it around!!! Make calls, send fax’s and email’s……………
Almost daily we see-read, and watch insulting false-incorrect spermicidal information flowing out of mouths of Republicans and the Fox News types. We send that info to each other and post the shocking lies in disbelief them – Republicans and the Fox News types that blatantly say what they say.
When also see the posted fact checks, such as who is really on welfare and who really the welfare president, Mr. George Bush was.
We know who really increased the debt, and increased taxes, three times more than any other president that would be Mr. Ronald Reagan. For the record Obama has raised it the least.
We know eight years of Bush policies all the way up to him leaving office in January of 2009 caused the loss of two million jobs. Please somebody tell Newt to stop saying Obama lost two millions jobs. Fact under Obama in 2009- 2010 only 300,000 jobs were lost, but it open to debate did Obama or did Bush residue cause those jobs to go away. Fact unemployment is back at 8% and going under from a high of 10% This is coming from a man who lost his job too, and still looking …hey in-box me if you need me…
Not many News service will call-out the lies the Republican machine will roll out, and they will say when caught in a lie … “Oh that’s not what I meant.”, but wait here is what we need to do … send facts to those conservative Republicans and Fox News types, on the fence swing voters and so called independents friends you might happen to have.
I know there is the worry you’ll end up debating someone who would rather eat his or her own boggers than submit to the facts. Well no you don’t have to, just send them the facts and then act like they do, ignore them. You can lead an elephant-ass to water but you can’t make-em drink.
I always send them correct information to them, even when I know they most likely will reject the truth because the truth was not they wanted. We, our, people of conciseness of any color or race, and religion know the facts, we know where we are in life, but they- Republicans and the Fox News TYPES DON’T KNOW THEIR ASS IS IN THE POOR HOUSE AND WHO PUT THEM THERE, but hey…by chance if you keep sending them the facts it’s the same liars who they voted for, you might get one to pull the head out of a hole.
Even though Fox News screams loud they are only talking to the same people who choose to be ignorant of facts and fall easy to being led by a corporation of elitist. Most Americans have figured out that is a circus show of easily proven lies.
What we have to be so-much more careful of and aware is WE CAN JADE OURSELVES WHEN WE PREACH TO THE CHOIR. The message we know need to get into the ears of the on fence swing voters and so called independents friends you might happen to have. Why, here is a lie easy to believe in for them. Black voters are the only reason Obama is the President….WRONG…. if not one Black person voted he still would have won…Fact
SEND THEM THE FACTS OFTEN:
Fact:
36 million Americans relied on food stamps. More than 24 million of them were white, 8 million were African American and 6 million were Hispanic of any race. Of the 46 million people living in poverty in America in 2010, the U.S. census revealed that 31 million were white.
Fact: there are only 35 million Black people and of the 8 million living in poverty 6 million are children.
Fact: That state Iowa is 96% white…let me repeat 96% white and has the one of the highest crimes rate percentage in America… will Fox News ever tell you that, I think not!
Fact:
Of the 49 million people without health insurance coverage, 37 million were white; 8 million were African American. Latinos of every race and Asian Americans represented the remaining largest ethnic groups.
Fact:
White Americans, poor and middle-class alike receive the vast majority of tax-funded government assistance programs, from monthly assistance to Social Security to food stamps.
Fact:
TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), the program that provides aid to single mothers, is the most well-known welfare program, but the truth is that Social Security and Medicare are also social welfare services, funded by tax dollars. To that end, nearly 70 percent of all benefits of these programs go to white people. In fact, since African Americans have lower life expectancy, many work and pay into the Social Security and Medicare programs through their tax dollars, only to have white Americans, who have a longer life expectancy, benefit from the income they’ve left behind.
Fact:
Child Poverty in Rural America,” reveals that 57 percent of rural poor children were white and 44 percent of all urban poor children were white.
And for the person who will doubt these facts out of denial of going to look them up themselves. These figures were taking under George Bush and Obama
Kind of funny when you think of it, the poor whites that hate Obama will follow Fox News and never hear this. Yet the same people they vote for are the one keeping them down…
Kind of funny, Black people are stereotyped for saying “The Man Is Keeping Me Down”, and several of the Repubs running for office has said Blacks are the Welfare users, and we look for a hand outs, but the truth is it the other way around.
Kind of Funny, those poor white folk lost many of their blue collar jobs because people like Mitt sold their companies and shut the door on them.
It will be more of the same race baiting this time around of stupid ignorance that will keep the liars out of office with simple minded … “I don’t know what Obama is and where he was born, and he has ties to terrorist, and he not American enough type of crap and that train of thought will keep him office because there is enough intelligent people of all races, and religions who will reject it as they did in 2008
Family Values Obama or Newt
For the people because I come from the people Obama or Mitt
Has Obama made some mistakes yes, but he has not started two wars and then didn’t pay for them and left America broke and Fox blames him for it. No need to answer unless you got the facts

Newt Gingrich claims that “more people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history.” He’s wrong. More were added under Bush than under Obama, according to the most recent figures.

Get ready for the Superbowl….. What team do you think will win this year?
She predicted the weather in Washington State would be very cold and icy, not that much snow. Last week they experienced one day of snow, and then a ice storm came in, which left 100′s of thousand folks without power. Kudos to you Lennis, good call.
