Our Governor is delusional. And very rude.
Jan Brewer explains her finger-wagging lecture of the President by claiming that "he just doesn't get it." Radio Interview of Brewer. Once again, Brewer has succeeded in making Arizona look foolish in the national press while garnering fawning right-wing press for herself.
Apparently, Brewer's presumptuous advice on how to bring her ridiculous, self-asserted 'Arizona Comeback' to the rest of America did not meet with a willing audience in our President. After Brewer poked her finger in the President's face because he had the temerity to express displeasure about her characterization in her book of him as 'patronizing' on the issue of immigration, he walked away from her mid-sentence in exasperation with her hectoring rudeness.
Obama has your number, Jan.
You are a blowhard, an embarrassment to our State, a no-class huckster attempting to hit way above your intellectual weight, and a wanna-be low-rent Palin (though it may be tautological to use such a phrase). Obama may have to be civil with you out of respect for your office and the people of Arizona whom you (to our great shame) represent, but he doesn't have any obligation to participate in your grand delusion of competence.
The Governor seems not to realize that her delusional belief that she has accomplished something here in Arizona that deserves to be emulated is not shared among all Arizonans, and certainly not by the rest of the United States. Her policies have made Arizona the laughingstock of America, and harmed our State's standing in just about any metric you care to use.
The sheer brass of Brewer seeking to 'advise' the President about anything is absurd. This is a Governor who allowed her own capitol buildings to be pawned to give tax breaks to the wealthy. A Governor who balanced her budgets on backs of the terminally ill, the poor, and our children. A Governor who stole the treasuries of her State's localities and still claimed not to have raised taxes. A Governor who embarrassed her State by enacting racist (and unconstitutional) legislation in order to get reelected.
Though I may be crediting Brewer with a certain low cunning she doesn't deserve, I suspect she planned this embarrassing public spat to enhance her standing among her Obama-derangement-syndrome-suffering supporters. I'll be very surprised if we don't soon discover her fund-raising using this image. Such antics may ultimately help Brewer politically. And that seems to be all Brewer is interested in.
