Longstanding tension between Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and Democratic President Barack Obama flared into the public spotlight Wednesday just after Air Force One touched down in Phoenix. Brewer, who was on the tarmac to greet Obama, hand-delivered a letter before engaging the president "intensely" for several minutes, including pointing her finger directly at him, according to Politico's Carrie Budoff Brown, acting as a pool reporter for other media outlets.

Isn’t putting your hands on a woman against her wishes sexual harrassment? Oh, I guess only for republicans ...

Our jacka$$ in chief flew all the way to Arizona and the first thing out of his mouth is a criticism of something she printed about him in her book? Clearly he's not a narcissist.

Putting a hand on a person in such a manner is generally a sign of condescension. Its a way of displaying or gaining power over another.

Brewer had a finger in his face, well within Zero's personal space, he's attempting to trump her by violating her space, and touching her.

Basically Zero's trying to gain dominance. He does this a lot in interviews, especially with people he might feel some apprehension or resistance from.

Zero is all about Zero. Words can lie (especially from Zero) You can't hide his body language.

If someone puts their hands on you and you tell them “do not touch me or I will take it as a physical attack.” If they do it again then you can take measures to defend yourself against what you perceive to be a physical attack.
Obviously, you can’t shoot them unless you believe your life is in danger.

Agreed. He probably spent the entire plane ride fuming about her book.
All the while he is fuming about a book, housing starts are way down, again, and unemployment rose, again.

Right on Brewer, Obama is an embarrassment to the nation, he should be community organizing in the ghetto where he belongs instead of being allowed to continue to destroy our way of life.

The way that the thin skinned Obama confronted her on the tarmac is entirely consistent with the way she says he treated her in the meeting referenced in her book. He is an arrogant, thin skinned, prima donna. America’s King Louis IX - L’etat c’est moi.

I’d like to see the full photo. We have talked on FR about Hussein’s inappropriate body language several times. He likes to lay his hand on others in a familiar, patronizing way.

And even in this cropped image, his disdainful thuggish attitude is on full display.
