After Facing Criticism, Obama to Meet Arizona Gov. Brewer on Thursday
Fox News ^ | Tuesday, June 1, 2010

Posted on 06/01/2010 4:00:35 PM PDT by kristinn

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.

Governor, don’t believe a damn word he says. Accept no promises from this man, you KNOW he won’t keep his word. Force him to face the issue: Mexico is a messed up nation and is purposefully creating a humanitarian crisis on our border. All so their elites can live in a socialist fantasy they control.

Is the AZ. Governor a refined lady or does she have the spunk to bitch slap Zero if he gets condescendingly obnoxious?

the president owes her and the people of the state of Arizona an apology.

Good one! Probably the only people he won't apologize to.

I think his intention is to “put her in her place”...I’ve said it over and over....I believe he is a woman hater.

Hey Jan----ask Ohaha why Calderone didn't tell America why he's against your law. Calderon missed a number of great opportunities to tell US officials why he's against the law.......when he addressed Congress, in meetings with the President, at the press conferernce, and at the lavish WH dinner.

Sign seen at Phoenix Capital protest, May 29, 2010

Mexican invaders show why they are against the Arizona law.......Comes straight out of the Mexican government's handbook taught in US schools.

Accuracy in Academia investigated "ethnic studies" and uncovered damaging material in the high schools of Tuscon, Arizona. Paulo Freire (a Brazilian Marxist)'s book called Pedagogy of the Oppressed is required reading in Arizona's "Raza Studies" (ie, Race Studies), otherwise known as "Mexican-American courses."

Another favorite is "Occupied America" by Rodolfo Acuna, professor of Chicano Studies at California State University in Northridge. "Occupied America," according to the invaders, includes a map of Mexico in 1821 which includes the American Southwest. A choice quote from "Occupied America." It gives us an idea of material Hispanic students are being exposed to in Arizona public schools: "We are fed up. We are going to do away with the injustice to the Chicano and if the 'gringo' doesn't get out of our way, we will stampede over him."

Another priceless gem: "(The Mexican speaker) attacked the gringo establishment angrily at a press conference and called upon Chicanos to "Kill the gringo,' which meant to end white control over Mexicans."

THIRD WORLDERS HATE AMERICA AND AMERICANS The savages vow to "Kill the gringo! Stampede over him! Rise up and overthrow the White oppressor in a bloody Communist insurrection! "

Dear Madam Governor,
PLEASE, have your security detail escort this moron in, and out of the back door, past the trash! That would be soooo rich!

Better yet, just tell him something came up and you just can’t spare the time. He doesn’t deserve an audience with you. And, you shouldn’t allow yourself to be subjected to the BS he is going to feed you.

(Just one man’s opinion.)

From this article posted on Fox News Sat, 5/29:
President Obama has turned down Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's request to meet while she's in Washington next week as tensions mount between his administration and Arizona over the state's new law cracking down on illegal immigrants.
...
On Thursday, Obama will speak at Secretary Clinton's reception for a new partnership between U.S. and India. On Friday, the president will welcome the Major League Soccer men's championship team, Real Salt Lake, to the White House.
Now he's got TWO (count them) agenda items on Thursday. What's an overloaded Marxist president to do? Plus, he's gotta manage the oil spill. Geeze, there may not be time for bball or golf on Thursday. Hey nobama, we all appreciate the daily sacrifices you're making.

Asswipe!

apologizing because I have a cold that I caught from this wonderful husband of mine.

Laura Ingraham is right, Michelle is always disin her husband... Wow unreal..

It's the knee-jerk liberal/communist reaction. Always fix blame and fix it on someone else. How can anyone say who they caught a cold from especially when you meet lots of people every day? It is bizarre that she Alinsky's her husband though.

I’d believe in the sincerity of these “indigenous peoples” as soon as they renounce that hateful foreign Spanish language and resort to a true indigenous language!

Being on a dialup line, I appreciate your reducing that graphic down to a reasonable size.

The arrogant p.o.s. muslim will lecture her and he’ll end the meeting by saying “I’ve got a hole to plug.” Which is the same thing Bill Clinton once said.

Course, this meeting will last barely fifteen minutes and likely have no outcome.

"They will have a frank and respectful exchange of views," which means obama will end up whiny, thin-skinned, and frothing at the mouth.

Well, what I figured since Netanyahu had to cancel his visit with Obama this week, now opened a slot for Jan Brewer!
