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.

the president owes her and the people of the state of arizona an apology.
Good. Maybe she can read the bill to him, since he apparently won’t read it for himself.
maybe she will slap some sense into him.
what a complete cock up this admin are though
She ought to cancel at the last minute.
Not only should she read it to him, but she should bring sock puppets to re-enact what’s in the bill so he can fully understand it. Heck while she’s at it, she can read it to Holder and Gibby too
-Barack Hussein Obama
bwahahaha....What a idiot. Does he EVER make the right call the first time around?
Take plenty of bleach to disinfect after handshakes.
She needs to have some Tea Party folks present (With multiple video cameras at the ready), and refuse his demands that they be forced to leave.
Back your Governor, Arizona. Be there when she needs you.
Arizona is heading off the administration at every turn. Eventually, the President has to come to grips with this, and turn it into a non-issue...perhaps even dropping immigration reform this year entirely. Too many congressmen are getting upset about their democratic situation in November and how the problems keep adding up.
Course, this meeting will last barely fifteen minutes and likely have no outcome.
Or tell him to go eat dinner and she expects him to change within three hours........
BS. Obama had time to goof off in Chicago. He had time to plot and scheme on how to jail BP with threats of criminal investigations.
It is all a just a matter of priorities. Illegal immigration and national security are simply not a priority for Obama.
STAND TALL GOVERNOR!!!! no backing DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He claims to have read the bill. Maybe the Gov will give him a pop quiz. “Mr. Obama, say the Oval Office is an ice cream parlor in Tuscon and I’m a cop who just busted you for passing a counterfeit $20. Prove to me you’re here in the country legally.”
Let bammy stew on that, maybe he will do even MORE stupid President tricks.
Heavy putting green schedule?
we need to all email support for this Governor to take the LEAD in this meeting!!!!!! NOT to give a inch!!!
