And says it was not a pleasant encounter, she was trying to be nice and he lost his temper over her book.

This is what Fox News is reporting today; after Brewer was interviewed by them last night.

It's certainly not surprising; and plays well to the GOP racist assholes.

[gateley]

1. I'd like to see what she really said compared to what Fox News SAYS she said.

They may be directly quoting from her, but I don't believe a thing they say. Not one thing.

[Avalux]

6. She said it in an interview last night on on Greta Van Sustern.

Of couirse, Obama hasn't said a peep; he's the only other person who knows what she REALLY said.

[gateley]

13. I saw a clip of her (obviously not from the Fox interview) where she said she thought

he was "thin skinned". Why, she just was greeting him and welcoming to the great State of Arizona and he surprised her by his comment!

I wonder if they carried on the conversation for a minute of if he just walked away in disgust, leaving her there with her finger in the air. He's too courteous to do that, though.

Thanks for the "source"

[Life Long Dem]

33. It's not a matter of being "thin skinned".

That's just another obvious insult from her. What matters is that she doesn't have her facts correct in her book about the President and Obama told her. If anyone it is her that is "thin skinned". Probably why she is calling Obama "thin skinned".

[waddirum]

50. actually there were 2 other witnesses

The mayors of Phoenix and Mesa were both there as well and witnessed the whole thing.

[HipChick]

2. She lies..often..what is there to discuss?

[Avalux]

8. Yes she does! Thanks for the link.

It's just so predictably lame she'd make herself a victim, scared of the big black man.

[gkhouston]

3. Oh, so totally believable. 'Cause you know, the President is a real hot-head.

The only people who will believe this are the ones who want to.

[gratuitous]

19. So, what did the president say when Fox had him on?

I crack myself up sometimes.

[young but wise]

23. ...........

[Blue Owl]

4. Who's pointing fingers here?

JFC -- let's look at the photos again...

[LiberalFighter]

22. Exactly! She was the one that was so agitated and posturing during the event.

[One of the 99]

5. I'm sure she always feels threatened by African American men.

But I'm not saying she's a racist

[HipChick]

10. I'll say it then..

She's a racist...

[MrScorpio]

7. Oh, it's scary black man time

I'm sure that if she had a purse in her hand on the Tarmac she would have clutched it.

[HipChick]

14. lol!..I've seen women do this in an elevator..doesn't matter if the black is in a business suit..

[Faux pas]

9. Yeah sure.

I imagine she has a bridge in Brookyn she'd like to sell us too.

barf

[PA Democrat]

11. Base upon the body language, I'd say Brewer is lying.

Only one person in that verbal exchange exhibited aggressive body language- Brewer.

[left is right]

44. she looked so aggressive

that I was really quite surprised that the Secret Service didn’t intervene

[snagglepuss]

12. I saw a photo of her waging her finger at Obama on the tarmac. Is this when

she felt intimidated?

[Avalux]

15. Yes - Obama is the one who looks scared, not her!. n/t

[snagglepuss]

36. If that's the case then that woman is divorced from reality. She is in her own

little world. It's an utterly preposterous comment.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

16. She's an amazing woman

She can't even form a semi-coherent sentence & yet she wrote a book!

[RBInMaine]

25. Probably used a ghost writer like Idiot-Lady Failin Palin.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

37. I actually believe somebody else did ghostwrite it actually

or helped write it.

[Spazito]

17. I can see why she felt threatened by him...

the way he was pointing his finger at her......oh, wait......it was HER finger in his face. What an embarrassment she is to Arizona and the nation, imo.

Edited to correct a Rick Perry level "oops" by putting Nevada instead of Arizona.

[jberryhill]

18. "What an embarrassment she is to Nevada"

Why? Because they have to live next door?

[Spazito]

26. Yep, her lies will waft accross the border and destroy Las Vegas!

and, yep, I made an "oops", guess I am going to have to quit the Presidential race just like Perry!



I'm going to edit my "oops" but felt I needed to acknowledge it first, lol.

[jberryhill]

27. Aww... leave it

She's an embarrassment to the Western Hemisphere.

There are probably Hondurans who are trying to pretend they don't know her.

It's easy to confuse her with Sharron Angle, her clone.

[Control-Z]

20. Imagine how her family

must feel? If any of them are even willing to admit to it.

[Avalux]

24. If they hate Obama, then they're proud of her. n/t

[Control-Z]

49. I don't know.

Jan Brewer was an embarrassment, I imagine, before any of us had even heard of Barack Obama.

[RBInMaine]

21. She's an IDIOT and has the gaul to say HE is "thin skinned." What a shit-head she is.

And if you saw the LIES and PROPAGANDA SHIT she wrote in her piece of shit book, you couldn't blame him for being a little pissed at her, and I'm damn glad he told her so.

[RZM]

31. It always helps to have your own personal Gaul to spin for you

They are a rough lot, but with the proper training, they can perform well in a spin room.



LOL. Sorry couldn't resist.

[demtenjeep]

28. he was smiling

she was raggin and yet he was the mean one?


alternate reality for sure

[cliffordu]

29. Ah, Dog whistle duJour.......Big Scary Black Man.....

Nice to see a woman's touch around the old watering hole.

[Wait Wut]

30. She also said she "doesn't remember"...

...wagging her finger at him (after seeing the photo). I live in Moranizona.

[Avalux]

32. I'm sorry.....if it makes you feel any better I live in Texas.

[Summer Hathaway]

34. I can totally understand

her feeling threatened.

Time and again, Obama has displayed his hair-trigger temper. And there was every chance that he was going to throttle her right there in front of the cameras.

Republicans - keeping it classy, as always ...

[steve2470]

35. adds sarcasm smiley for you :) nt

[The Straight Story]

38. It was his fault of course - he is a man, therefore he is guilty and she cannot be

[Eid Ma Clack Shaw]

39. Then she should resign immediately.

You cannot have such an impossible weakling of a woman holding elected office. How pathetic.

[jillan]

40. Then she needs to get out of politics if she can't handle someone that disagrees with her.

Aaargh - I can't stand that bitch!

[Cali_Democrat]

41. In the picture, it clearly looks like Obama is the one keeping his cool

and Brewer looks like the raving lunatic that she is.

[arely staircase]

42. well, he is black

and she is a racist

[surrealAmerican]

45. Yes, he really should have been considerate enough ...

... to wear lighter skin for the occasion.

[arely staircase]

48. i hope he didn't make eye contact with the white lady

that would have been way out of line.

[Number23]

43. In other words: "Innocent, trembling white woman victimized and intimidated by scary black man."

Never mind the fact that he is the president of the United States and there were probably a dozen people standing within 2 feet of the two of them.

Yep. Welcome to post racial America.

[powergirl]

46. Aggressor = Black man

Just like PATRONIZING = UPPITY

[thelordofhell]

47. If it wasn't for President Obama, she would never had been governor
