The point: Brewer vs. Obama
This may turn out to be one of the symbolic images of the Obama years.
The governor of a major state pointing her finger at the president of the United States.
Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer said President Obama objected to her description of an earlier meeting in the Oval Office over immigration policy. The White House said Brewer distorted the details of that meeting in her book.
In some ways, the point reflects the political divisions of our time.
It also underscores the disputes that underscore those divisions: Illegal immigration.
Expect to hear the echoes throughout this election season.
USA TODAY's Aamer Madhani describes this latest episode:
President Obama and Gov. Jan Brewer had a tense exchange Wednesday, sparring over the Arizona governor's portrayal of Obama as "patronizing" in her memoirs.
Obama was greeted by Brewer soon after Air Force One landed in Phoenix this afternoon. The president was handed a handwritten letter by Brewer, and they spoke intensely for a few minutes, according to a White House pool report. At one point, she was pointing her finger at him and at another, they were talking at the same time, seemingly over each other, according to pooler Carrie Buddof Brown of Politico.
"He was a little disturbed about my book, 'Scorpions for Breakfast,' " Brewer told reporters traveling with Obama. "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. "
In her 2011 book, Brewer is critical of the president and accused the president of being "patronizing" and said "he lectured me" during a June 2010 Oval Office meeting. In media interviews after the event, she described their conversation as cordial.
The White House offered a statement with their version of what transpired on the Phoenix tarmac:
"The governor handed the President a letter and said she was inviting him to meet with her. The President said he'd be glad to meet with her again, but did note that after their last meeting, a cordial discussion in the Oval Office, the governor inaccurately described the meeting in her book. The President looks forward to continuing taking steps to help Arizona's economy grow."
Obama is in Phoenix to visit Intel's Ocotillo campus.

Today is
Psycho Bitch Governor
I have been around for a few years, and what I have learned in this life time..., there are some woman that are simply "Crazy Psycho Bitches", meaning, they are psychologically unstable.
A Psycho Bitch is a woman that will behave in a rude and obnoxious manner in any environment, under any circumstances, in front of anybody, and show no concern for the environment, the surroundings or to whom the Psycho Bitch is talking to. A Psycho Bitch has no concerns for anybody other than herself, and after the Psycho Bitch rants as if she is making some type of statement, she shows no concern for her actions or how her behavior could be construed as "ignorant, idiotic, stupid, embarrassing, or foolish".
A Psycho Bitch, once she has left the immediate scenario, will show calmness and gentility, as if she was the victim, or, she will calmly speak to her actions as something that was justified, necessary or the right behavior at the time.
Governor Brewer Is A Psycho Bitch
I find that the best way to handle a Psycho Bitch..., simply do not allow the Psycho Bitch to be at your side, in your immediate environment, on your property, or at any location that you intend to visit.
I'm sure that some people who may read these few words will have an opinion, but, for the men out there that have been around a Psycho Bitch...,
YOU UNDESTAND
President Obama handled the Psycho Bitch Gov. Brewer absolutely the correct way, you simply walk away from a Psycho Bitch, because you can not reason with a Psycho Bitch, you can't hold a logical conversation with a Psycho Bitch, and any attempt to correct a Psycho Bitch's behavior will simply infuriate the Bitch, causing her to behave worse. Thus.... Just walk away from a Psycho Bitch..... Good Job President Obama.
From a Position of Leadership, the Governor's behavior was absolutely disrespectful of the President of the United States Of America. To Challenge the President in the manner that she, obviously did, and subsequently, point her finger at the President in the matter that she did, is absolutely "unacceptable" behavior of a person in the seat of Gov. of any state in America.
The Label of Psycho Crazy Bitch for Gov. Brewer is justified, based on her own behavior, in this specific instance. Note that the subsequent interview, the Gov. actually smiles and appear to be giddy, suggesting that was the one that was victim and her purpose was to be the quaint presenter of her wonderful state of Arizona. Mind you, this is the Gov. that initiated the first harsh laws on immigration, and this is the Gov. who stated many derogative things about the Hispanics that cross the boarders, in search of a better life.
A Racist..., Yes.., A Bigot.., Yes, and a Psycho Bitch... Yes.
