On the way home, I listened to the radio report of the interaction between President Obama and Gov. Brewer. I also heard an on-air interview with Gov. Brewer.
When I arrived home, I turned on the television to learn more, and perhaps even see some video. ABC News was the selected channel.
According to ABC, Gov. Brewer accosted Pres. Obama, and even "pointed her finger in his face" (accompanied by a still shot).
I am stunned and astounded by the untruthful bias presented by those who claim to be presenting the news on ABC. All I could do was splutter.
Fortunately for us, we have a governor who can stand up to the heat of displeasure - even from our president.
Governor Brewer, you have my support!
ABC news, you have lost my viewing, except I will be contacting your advertisers to let them know of my displeasure.

Patrick: You'll find that most News sources favor Obama. Liberals HATE FOX NEWS, so I've begone watching them. The funny thing is that they seem to report BOTH viewpoints, not just one. That's the way all news should be. Give as much info as possible, and let the customer make their own decision.....

Patrick and Masterrogue, well said. I support Brewer 100%. At least she had the class to welcome Obama to Arizona personally. Napolitano ignored Bush twice when he visited the state.

Get your facts straight, boys. Brewer characterized her visit to the White House as condescending, a lecture by the President on why SB1070 was being fought. Next time they meet, now on Brewer's terf, she's trying to lecture him. Brewer isn't smart enought to lecture a Constitutional Law Professor on constitutional matters. That pointed finger really says it all.

You get YOUR facts straight Captain Neo-Con. Brewer welcomed Obama to our turf (not terf), like a good hostess. It was Obama that had it stuck in his craw that she chastised his lousy immigration policy in her book. His turning his back on her is inherent of Muslim men showing their dominance over women. Quit listening to MSNBC and CNN and you might learn something.

If you're looking at the rear end of two horses why not just say so.

If Obama is a Constitutional Law Professor on constitutional matters, why does he try and bypass the constitution for example on gun control? So either he is not that smart about it, or he don't care what it says, and is just pushing his agenda the heck with the constitution.

Dale Whiting: give me a break! 1) That's how she talks -- a lot of hand movement. I've seen it up close, personally. It's her style. 2) Her finger wasn't in his face. It looks like it because a 2-d picture doesn't give you the depth perception that's missing. 3) She did choose a bad time to confront Obozo. 3) Personally, I'm glad we gave a gov with the cojones to stand up to the most unqualified, divisive president in living memory, 4) I believe her when she wrote that Obozo was patronizng - not condescending. There's a difference. 5) Onerebel: he's not as smart as he and others think, but the press is so in love that they'll never blow the whistle, and that makes Obozo the most dangerous man in the country.

Gang,
The finger said it all!
Dale Whiting posted at 5:30 am on Sun, Jan 29, 2012.
P.S. The current poll results say even more. The numbers are 48% pointing the finger at Brewer, 30% at the President, 9% [the cop outs] at both, and 13% - who cares!

So savoy54, what do you say about that![beam]

Thank you Mr. Shephard for that breath of fresh air. See Dale, comon sense does prevail. Constitutional Law Professor? Show me the dissertations---oh wait---they're sealed. The food stamp, marxist, alinsky/dorhm lovin', socialist dictator says so.

My first time reading comments regarding a letter to the East Valley Tribune. Clearly a mini Fox News forum. Even worse than the Sierra Vista Herald.

So Governor Brewer used her finger for emphais...so what.
Obama is supposedly 6'1" tall.....Brewer is 5'7" in high heels...if Obuma felt "terrorized" by Brewer he should have called over a Secret Service guy to pick up Jan under his arm and take her away.
Just ask yourself....who is the "real" American in this photo...Governer Jan Brewer or the "Manchurian Candidate" known as Barack Barry Hussein Soetoro Obama etc...etc...etc.

Several studies have shown that the “liberal” brain has a higher IQ than the “conservative” brain. This has been proven by measuring the mass of various components that are believed to be responsible for certain responses and thought processes and by IQ tests at different ages. Liberal average = 106, conservative average = 97. It also seems to be obvious by observation of the finger wagging incident.

The media smears anyone who dares to try to enforce laws against illegal immigration.
Sheriff Joe was the darling of the media -- UNTIL -- he began enforcing immigration law. Suddenly he was the worst Sheriff in the history of law enforcement.
The media loved Brewer also -- UNTIL -- she signed SB 1070.
Then she suddenly became completely incompetent and a terrible terrible person. She could no longer do anything right.
