After Facing Criticism, Obama to Meet Arizona Gov. Brewer on Thursday
Fox News ^ | Tuesday, June 1, 2010

Posted on 06/01/2010 4:00:35 PM PDT by kristinn

President Obama intends to meet with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Thursday, a White House official told FoxNews.com, after criticism mounted over the president's refusal to meet her while she is in Washington this week.

Brewer had requested a face-to-face meeting with Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, the former Arizona governor, as tensions rise between his administration and the Grand Canyon State over its controversial law clamping down on illegal immigrants.

White House spokesman Adam Abrams had said over the weekend that Obama's schedule "doesn't allow for a meeting" with Brewer but added that the president "does intend to sit down with the governor in the future."

The apparent snub came after Justice Department officials told Arizona's attorney general and aides to the governor Friday that the federal government has serious reservations about the state's new immigration law.

Apologies from politician aren’t worth the paper they are written on. And he won’t apologize. He didn’t even apologize when he was dead-assed wrong on the Cambridge police incident.

If Governor Brewer was my client, I would have her take a digital recorder to the meeting. I would not meet with a proven liar without the ability to refute what he would say after the meeting, saying that he clearly wanted to hide something from the public. If he would not meet with a recorder, I would exploit his refusal in the media. I would “school” her (as if she needs any schooling) to handle the meeting from a position of authority and calmly asking Zero to defend his position. She would be practiced to treat Zero with a patronizing attitude of impatience; like one with a brat child.

Dear Madam Governor,

please ask the resident the following:

“How many more people have to die, before we build a wall?” re: Robert Krentz and countless others)

IF he says something to the effect, that people are only coming over here to make a better living - ask him:

“How many more rape trees do you want, before we build a wall?”

then when he stammers over that, (since he won't have his teleprompter with a pat answer to that one) - continue with this:

“As a Constitutional law professor, you are very familiar with Article 4, Section 4 which in part states; ‘The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union ... [to] protect each of them against Invasion...’ - we ARE being invaded by ILLEGAL Immigrants, who are raping other immigrants as well as our own CITIZENS; and are killing and robbing our CITIZENS as well as defrauding the Cities, Counties, States and the Fed Government - do YOUR job and defend these United States from this ILLEGAL invasion! - Build a wall!!”

IF he stills stammers, ask for his birth certificate !!!
(or get sheriff Joe to ask, nicely)

(on a lighter note - if the Illegals were to announce that they as a whole will vote for the republicans this November, the demoncrats would build the wall TOMORROW)

I think his intention is to “put her in her place”...I’ve said it over and over....I believe he is a woman hater.

That would certainly be par for the course for a (crypto) Muslim, wouldn't it...

Yes, but can he keep that yap of his shut enough to uncover his ears so he can listen? I seriously doubt it.

He better watch himself, because this woman will tell exactly what he said in private talks, and his ass will be hers if he doesn’t shoot straight.

I think you are right. He wants to be on camera looking down at her with a smirk on his face, mocking her.

If I were her, I would be very careful. Make the SOB meet behind closed doors, and she could then call him a scumbag to his face and order him to get his Kenyan ass out of her American state.

I think she should do this on national TV. Her popularity would soar even more.
