Jan Brewer - The Ugly American

Tom, this really isn't about who is a good president. It doesn't matter if we like or hate him or her.
It is about a Governor of a state, greeting the President of The United States at an airport and shaking her finger at him.
It was disrespectful, unprofessional and it doesn't matter who the president is. It doesn't make it ok if her point was valid or not.

Respect has to be earned! Obviously Obama has not earned hers. You do not know what was said or what conversations and communications they have had in the past. I assume that Jan Brewer is a very respectful person based on her passed actions. You assume that Obama has been respectful to her, which based on his passed actions is highly unlikely.

you didnt think I could leave this one olone !
she is a great GOV.
our budgit is back in the black, the economy is moveing along ( a bit slow ) the buisnes people are hiring americans finaly, so what is your problem with her. you have to have laws, what would the world be like if their was no GOD.
everyone here in AZ gets along whit mexicans
it is the illegal ones that destroy ever thing the touch

The Daily KOS should be called Daily POS editions.

For equal time and unbiased reporting, they should report that Moichelle is Ugly too. Except it wouldn't really be fair comparison because Jan Brewer is much older and has an excuse.

Last Wednesday Obama flew to Phoenix, Arizona, and was met on the airport tarmac by Governor Jan Brewer. The president and governor had a heated exchange over immigration and her new book, Scorpions for Breakfast, which Brewer later said Obama was “a little disturbed by.”

Parts of Brewer’s book are critical of Obama, and according to Brewer, he told her,“that he didn’t feel that I had treated him cordially.” Obama then quickly walked away upset. Brewer later described Obama as “somewhat thin-skinned and a little tense to say the least.”

Gov. Brewer isn’t the first Republican to note Obama’s hypersensitivity to those who dare disagree with him. Last year, Majority Leader Eric Cantor called Obama “overly sensitive to someone differing with him on policy grounds.”

The same assessment was made by Kansas Senator Pat Roberts after he and other Senate Republicans had a combative meeting with the president last year.“He needs to take a Valium before he comes in and talks to Republicans,” Roberts said.“He’s pretty thin-skinned.”

During the Gulf oil spill, Obama traveled to Louisiana and met with Governor Bobby Jindal. Jindal later said that Obama seemed unconcerned about the spill but expressed frustration with the level of criticism he was receiving, ordering Jindal and another Louisiana officeholder not to go on T.V. to criticize him.

Even mild criticism can apparently bring about harsh retribution. It is rumored that Obama fired General Stanley McChrystal from his post as commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan in part because a McChrystal aide said the general found Obama “not engaged” in a meeting with him.

Beneath Barack Obama’s well-cultivated image as a supernaturally cool, calm and collected president lies a very different reality: an irritable, hyper-sensitive and bitter man who’s quick to attack those who question him or his agenda.

In contrast to Bush, who rarely responded to the media’s hateful and libelous campaign against him, Obama is hypersensitive to the scant criticism he receives from the media.

When a Texas reporter was granted a seven-minute interview and asked tough questions about his falling popularity, Obama scolded him.“Let me finish my answers the next time we do an interview, all right?” he said angrily.

“I’ve got one television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration,” Obama once complained, referring to Fox News. The White House then embarked on a campaign to convince other media outlets to ignore Fox News, the one station not in the tank for Obama.
