President Obama and Arizona Gov. Jan Brewers heated interaction on the tarmac of the Phoenix airport Wednesday has garnered plenty of attention. But no one besides the president and the governor knows exactly what was said.
So were offering you a chance to take a guess here. Write a caption for the photo above, and/or vote for captions you like in the comment thread below. Taking those votes and our staffs opinion into account, well award a t-shirt to a lucky winner on Friday.
Your caption can put words in the mouth of either (or both) politician. Our staff will favor entries that are creative, funny, civil and original.
The deadline for entries is 4 p.m. ET. Good luck!

Some of the entries:
"President Barack Obama refuses to show Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer his dental work, while she insists on showing him her grill."
"AND when are you going to tell your wife about us? I WILL NOT BE IGNORED!"
"Is that thing loaded? It better not be loaded."
have fun!

She is telling him to never ever call her a witch. And Obama replies that he won't (as he bows his head to her in sympathy).
