Dissing The Prez

By Carl
 
OK, by now, you've either seen or heard about this picture, where Arizona Governor Jan Brewer sticks her claw-like index finger into President Obama's face, practically picking boogers out of his nose. All that's missing is the broom and the pointy hat.
 
Both sides have downplayed the photo, and said it was a cordial if spirited exchange. Given that the White House has played Jackie Robinson these past four years to the bigots as they've come across them, that's no surprise. Brewer's interviews since the incident tell two different tales, but the ones told to FOX could just be bragging.
 
So let's take that at face value and say it was not an angry lecture.
 
That doesn't excuse her actions, much. As a governor herself, she has to know that there is always a camera around, and that gets manifold multiplication when the President is involved.
 
Even allowing that it might have been a moment of exuberance, it's still telling that she pointed a finger at him like he was the boy raking her garden.
 
It's also rather telling that she whines about him lecturing her IN THE OVAL OFFICE, where, you know, it's his home turf, and not a place of equals. I wonder, do they teach manners in Arizona schools? It sounds like maybe they should.

  • F' Jan Brewer! Seriously. I think she thought she was talking to her father or something. She gets confused every now and then. Can you imagine if someone did that to Bush? Man, the right would have had their head for being unamerican. The secret service should have pounced and pepper sprayed. Now that's a photo!

  • This administration has thought they are above the law from day one. The Costition means nothing to them and that is dangerous.
