OUT OF LINE or SPEAKING HER MIND? Arizona Gov Jan Brewer shared a few words w/ POTUS Barack Obama on the tarmac Wednesday. The Washington Post reports, "Brewer attempted to hand Obama a letter, which she later told reporters was an invitation to sit down with her to discuss “Arizona’s comeback” and to tour the U.S.-Mexican border with her. Obama and Brewer engaged in what reporters described as an 'intense exchange,' with the Republican governor pointing her finger at the president and the two appearing to talk over each other." Here's a link to the WaPo political blog about the interaction http://tinyurl.com/6lgndcp . Gov. Brewer also appeared on FOX News where she described the a 'terrible encounter' w/ the President. Calling him 'thin-skinned' about her book on immigration. Here's the FOX News video and transcript http://tinyurl.com/7pxxtnw . I posted two Associated Press pics together because I wanted to show BOTH sides. There's no question that there's tension between the White House Administration and the Republican Party. Still these are humans 1st and public servants 2nd. I've seen MANY flareup between government branches nearly come to blows, so yelling and finger pointing may be the least troubling... STILL, this is the President of the United States. WHAT DO YOU THINK? Was the governor out of line or speaking her mind?
