Transcript of Ariz. Gov. Jan Brewer's letter to President Obama
Barack Obama, Jan Brewer
President Barack Obama talks with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer after arriving at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2012, in Mesa, Ariz. Brewer greeted Obama and what she got was a book critique. Of her book. The two leaders engaged in an intense conversation at the base of Air Force One’s steps. Both could be seen smiling, but speaking at the same time. Asked what the conversation was about, Brewer, a Republican, said: "He was a little disturbed about my book." Brewer recently published a book, "Scorpions for Breakfast," something of a memoir that describes her years growing up and defends her signing of Arizona’s controversial law cracking down on illegal immigrants, which Obama opposes. Brewer also handed Obama an envelope with a handwritten invitation for Obama to return to Arizona to meet her for lunch and to join her for a visit to the border. (AP Photo/Haraz N. Ghanbari)

Did the previous commenters just read the same letter I did?! The letter was professional, polite, and was proud of what Arizona has accomplished. I don't see anything you all have to complain about.

Jan’s antics sold some books - good for her.
Her letter says “Today, we have a balanced budget . . .” and “I’m proud of that hard-won recovery - - the result of many tough decisions,”
I wonder if she was talking about the fact that she SOLD State property, including the Capitol, to a real-estate franchise with a $25 million guaranteed return on the investment plus rent. She could have sold bonds to the public so that all of Arizona's residents of could have invested in our State.

There was no need for the letter or show of disrespect. Everybody knows the Governor's position since it's been incessantly used by the Governor politically since her re-election effort. It was disgraceful and unnecessary, all to make political points for her future plans and to prop the sales of her book. If she respected the Presidential office as she claims, she wouldn't have attempted to make this about her and would have afforded the sitting President the respect that such an office commands.

I just saw a news report on TV. There was a young lady that was allowed to speak to the President. She wanted him to give her amnesty. Imagine that! A CRIMINAL FOREIGN NATIONAL acting as if she has the right to be there! Talk about being ENTITLEMENT MINDED!
