So, it turns out that the cool cat billed as “No Drama Obama” by his sycophants is actually quite the drama queen. While the White House publicly pretends to ignore conservative detractors of his administration, Chief Touchy-Touchy seems to be personally consumed by our critiques. Yes, mine included.
On Wednesday, the president had himself a mini-”Toddlers and Tiaras”-style meltdown with Arizona GOP Gov. Jan Brewer after landing in Phoenix for a post-State of the Union dog-and-pony show. As Brewer told pool reporters on the scene, Obama took umbrage at Brewer’s recent memoir. She minced no words on the cover: “Scorpions for Breakfast: My Fight Against Special Interests, Liberal Media, and Cynical Politicos to Secure America’s Border.” And she minced no words describing her impressions of Obama as they sparred over her state’s tough immigration enforcement law, which is now the subject of a Justice Department witch-hunt. Brewer called Obama “patronizing” and “condescending.” I’d say she was excruciatingly polite.
According to Brewer, “He 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. The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He said he read (an) excerpt.” In the shadow of Air Force One, Obama complained that Brewer hadn’t “treated him cordially” and then stalked off while she was responding mid-sentence.
Photogs captured the fracas on film. The civility police gasped at Brewer’s “disrespectful” finger-pointing. On cue, one progressive commentator insinuated the gesture was a “racist” jab tantamount to lynching.

Reported by NewsBusters: CBS's Sharyl Attkisson on "Laura Ingraham Show" and the extent of the rage directed at her from the Obama administration for her reporting on the "Fast and Furious" controversy:
"The DOJ woman was just yelling at me. A guy from the White House on Friday night literally screamed at me and cussed at me."
Politico reported in JULY 2011:
"President Barack Obama abruptly walked out of a stormy Debt-Limit Meeting with congressional leaders Wednesday" adding some unexpected Drama to already tense negotiations.
“He shoved back and said ‘I'll see you tomorrow’ and walked out,” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) told reporters after the meeting."
“This process is confirming what the American people think is the worst about Washington,” ABC reported the president said:
“Everyone is more interested in posturing, political position and protecting their base than in solving problems.
Obama had also Threatened to halt the distribution of Social Security checks, welfare and EBT checks from going out after August 2nd.
During the heated exchange, the President then compared himself to Ronald Reagan when he asked Cantor : “Would Ronald Reagan be sitting here?” [What would Reagan do?]
Obama added: “I’ve reached my limit. This may bring my presidency down, but I will not yield on this.” ]
In 1986, President Reagan had abruptly ended a Reykjavik summit meeting with Gorbachev during stalled negotiations involving The Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). Gorbachev insisted American work on SDI be confined to the lab. Reagan refused, telling Gorbachev that he "promised the American people that he would not give up" SDI. Gorbachev resisted, the meeting ended. Reagan had done so, not only for the Benefit of Americans and the promise he had made; but for all those millions trapped inside the Soviet Union. Dec. 1987, Gorbachev and Reagan sign the INF Treaty with the Soviet leader's unprecedented visit to the United Sates. [1]

Aw, come on guys. Really? Playing the race card over that. Grow up.
Democrats are stuck in the 5th grade.
Sounds like the exact same tactics the Clintonistas used, as perfected by Carville and Begala. Screaming to shut down all debate.
No doubt about it, Hussein is a thin skinned crybaby.
Otherwise known as a pu**y!
Tyrants absolutely hate dissent.
“On Wednesday, the president had himself a mini-”Toddlers and Tiaras”-style meltdown with Arizona GOP Gov. Jan Brewer...”
Did someone say “Toddlers and Tiaras”? I love this clip.

So, I check out the You Tube and this is all you get. Notice the video of he exchange is suddenly clipped out and all you see is a shot over the roof top of the official car.

I ask again, where is the video?
“Democrats are stuck in the 5th grade.”

No, they are not! They are stuck in pre-school!
That’s why they vote for Obama....he is SANTA CLAUS...and they STILL believe!!!

This is what I came up with..as you will note the camera changes location/angle to block the exchange-the other side of the limo. The other camera must have been shut down to protect “the image” of the President. He may have been prepared just in case, as she would be there; and he was ready to respond if she did approach him. His people had prepared for that moment just in case. He could not entirely dismiss her. Then in the public’s perception it’s Obama’s word against Brewer’s...helped by the biased main stream media.
Brewer’s “Scorpions for Breakfast” was ranked at 343,222 in Amazon’s book sales. By Thursday morning, it had rocketed to 169.

The White House response immediately afterwards - the President would meet with her again. Brewer said Obama never said he would meet with her again.
My take on the abrupt change of camera angle, so the exchange continued blocked by the limo, over the roof, is that the camera that caught the exchange in full view was edited out. Then the Regime could portray the exchange any way they wanted. In this case, Governor Bewer was made to look like the bad sheep.
