Jan Brewer is currently seeking approval from HHS for waivers allowing her to significantly cut Medicaid enrollment and costs in the state of Arizona. That is a "signature" issue for her; "outing" the Obamanation as the fraud he is apparently is not so important to her.

She earlier received one huge "gift" from the Obama Administration on her Medicaid-reduction initiative, and I don't think she wants to jeopardize her chances for getting her Medicaid proposal approved. It looks like a quid-pro-quo fig leaf offer from her to the Socialist-in-Chief, as I see it.

What a classic suck-up.

When in doubt with the vast majority of politicians on either side of the aisle, look for their personal self-interest and the picture clarifies significantly.

If you are correct above, then, I'm sorry to say, it looks like a classic case of the political blackmail of Arizona by the Obama administration to me. I hope that I am wrong.

I live in a state that is a long way from Arizona, and I have never been to Arizona.

1. I just hope that God inspires Governor Brewer with the wisdom to follow her conscience.

2. If she signs it, great. If she doesn't sign it, I hope that she can live with herself.

3. I hope that Brewer signs the bill and Arizona goes into the history books as the first state ever that took up the challenge to stand up and be counted when it came to this presidential eligibility mess during the 2012 presidential campaign.

4. If Brewer vetoes the bill, can her veto be overturned in any way?

5. Also, if Brewer signs the historical bill, it might encourage other states to follow Brewer's historical example and pass presidential eligibility laws similar to the one passed in Arizona. We can always dream, can't we?

6. I first learned about Gov. Brewer when she was all over the tv during the Arizona illegal immigration issue a few months back.

7. The image of Brewer I remember the most is this one: Brewer is standing out in what looked like the hot Arizona desert and pointing to a large sign that, to paraphrase, warned people to avoid the area because the area was dangerous, dangerous in the sense that persons walking through the area could get attacked by others.

8. Watching Brewer on tv all those months, I came to admire her courage for the way she was fighting against the federal government by trying to bring some sanity to this out-of-control illegal immigration mess.

9. I just hope that the courage that Brewer displayed during Arizona's recent confrontation with the Obama administration over Arizona's anti-illegal immigration bill carries over to Arizona's attempt to bring some calm and sanity to this issue of presidential eligibility.

10. If Arizona is courageous enough to pass its historical bill, it will be a giant step towards helping the American people answer the following question for years and years to come and long after Obama has gone:

How does a presidential candidate assure the American public that he is who he says he is and that he was born in the United States where he said he was?
