Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer points during an intense conversation with President Barack Obama after he arrived at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, Wednesday, Jan. 25, 2012, in Mesa, Ariz. Asked moments later 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 of her years growing up and defends her signing of Arizona's controversial law cracking down on illegal immigrants, which Obama opposes. Obama was objecting to Brewer's description of a meeting he and Brewer had at the White House, where she described Obama as lecturing her. (AP Photo/Haraz N. Ghanbari)

TAMPA, FL - One day after endorsing GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer gave a live interview to MSNBC, apparently slipping up and endorsing his opponent President Barack Obama.
The video is so hot on the Internet, the Governor's office released a statement to ABC15 Wednesday night saying the Governor mispoke, and she isn't the first official to do so amid the noise and chaos of the crowd.
Watch the ABC15 video here.

Jan Brewer endorses Barack Obama at GOP convention?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
MSNBC News and MSNBC’s Chris Matthews have made slanderous and abusive statements against Arizona Governor Jan Brewer for her tough stances against illegal immigration and has painted her as anti-Hispanic.
First, Governor Jan Brewer endorsed GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney at the Republican National Convention in Tampa.
Live, during Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortuno’s speech, Wednesday night at the GOP Convention, MSNBC host Chris Matthews questioned Brewer. During the live video interview, Brewer said she couldn’t hear questions, so they were translated through a third party.
In the lost in translation -- concerning illegal immigration -- Brewer was asked if she had talked to Mitt Romney about those issues. "I know Governor Romney understands those issues," Brewer answered. Followed by an accidentally mention (endorsed) of President Obama that she made.

The woman is an idiot who cannot utter an intelligence sentence unless she's reading it from a piece of paper. Anyone who listens to her for 2 minutes knows she is an uneducated moron, and an embarrassment to the state. Tea baggers know it, they just chose to ignore it.

So she blew it and said something wrong....big deal. I would rather have a Jan Brewer anyday of the week and twice on Sunday.
How about our First Lady, Michelle "Lime-green, Cocktail dresses are appropriate for Posthumous Medal of Honor Ceremonies in the White House" Obama.
Remember back in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2008 when she said...."FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY ADULT LIFETIME, I AM REALLY PROUD OF MY COUNTRY"...and she said that same statement at another Political Rally.
Or Vice-President Joe "Bite Me" Biden at a black-tie dinner in Washington, DC...when he ..."OUTED"...the US Navy Special Seal's Team Unit name.
Ask yourself...who would you rather have a Democrat "Ashamed to be an American" First Lady, a Democrat "Loose Lips = Sink Ships" Vice-President (remember that within a month, more than a dozen US Navy Seals were targeted by the Taliban in Afghanistan and their helicopter was hit and crashed)......or Republican Governor Jan Brewer who makes us old Geezer's feel right at home with some of her slip-ups..........GIVE ME REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR JAN BREWER.....ANYTIME.

When a republican misspeaks the liberals and MSM go berserk. When a democrats misspeaks all you hear is laughs, yawns and a free pass. Republicans never are forgiven by the liberals even when they acknowledge their misspoken words and apologize.

Live interview to MSNBC…… As MSNBC News, and MSNBC host Chris Matthews, refused to take notice of Puerto Rican Governor Luis Fortuno’s speech Wednesday night. Same way they have totally ignored all "Hispanics" speaking at the Republican National Convention in Tampa.

Judging by the two previous commenters....President Obama's speech after the Tucson Shootings regarding "CIVIL DISCOURSE"...seems to have been "forgotten" by our East Valley Libs.......[sad]
