| Jan Brewer, President Ob |
Recent media reports showed Arizona’s Governor Jan Brewer’s finger pointing exchange with President Obama on an airport tarmac in Phoenix.
It appears the issue was related to her book "Scorpions for Breakfast” and the President felt disrespected in the book. In her book, Brewer mentioned a 2010 incident about Arizona immigration laws, during which she had felt that Obama “thought he could lecture me, and I would learn at his knee.” However, the White House insists the meeting had been “cordial.”
Some republican politicians have taken advantage of this finger pointing episode to take shot at President Obama. Senator John McCain told Fox Business News “It is very well known he has a prickly personality.” Since then, Governor Brewer had said that the reports of the meeting were "blown out of proportion," and that she simply wanted to give President Obama a letter asking him for another meeting.
About Jan Brewer
According to Wikipedia, Janice Kay "Jan" Brewer (born September 26, 1944) is the 22nd and current Governor of the U.S. state of Arizona and a member of the Republican Party. She is the fourth woman, and third consecutive woman, to hold the office. Born in California, Brewer attended Glendale Community College where she received a radiological technologist certificate, but never earned a degree.
Brewer came into the national spotlight when, on April 23, 2010, she signed the Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act. The act makes it a state misdemeanor crime for an alien to be in Arizona without carrying registration documents required by federal law, authorizes state and local law enforcement of federal immigration laws, and cracks down on those sheltering, hiring and transporting illegal aliens.
