Drama Clubbed: Jan Brewer Says ‘I Felt A Little Bit Threatened’ By President Obama

video
» 217 comments

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer‘s finger-pointing tarmac confrontation with President Obama is the hot story of the day, and while the media treats this as a he said/she said affair, it might be a good idea to put Brewer’s account into context. She told reporters, among other things, that she “felt a little bit threatened, if you will, in the attitude that he had.”

The central dispute here, her 2010 White House meeting with the President, demonstrates Brewer’s tendency to embellish her recollections for dramatic effect.

RELATED: Gov. Jan Brewer And President Obama Have ‘Intense’ Discussion On Arizona Tarmac

Gov. Brewer and President Obama had words on the tarmac yesterday over a passage in Brewer’s book, Scorpions For Breakfast (which is not a tale of hair-band groupiehood), and while cable news has splashed a photo of Brewer pointing her finger in the President’s face as if she were scolding a small child, she insists she was as nice as kitten pie. “I was not hostile,” Brewer told reporters. “I was trying to be very, very gracious. I respect the office of the president, and I would never be disrespectful in that manner.”

She went a step further, though, painting a menacing picture of the President. “I was in the middle of a sentence and he walked away. I wasn’t angry at all. I felt a little bit threatened, if you will, in the attitude that he had.”

RELATED: Gov. Jan Brewer Doubles Down On President Obama: ‘I Thought He Was Pretty Thin-Skinned’

Threatened? What is there about President Obama that a person could find “threatening,” particularly in broad daylight, under the watchful eye of cameras? And what could compel a high elected official to gesture at a sitting president so disrespectfully?

Here’s a clip of Gov. Brewer describing the incident, via CNN:


The White House released the following statement about the incident:

“The governor handed the President a letter and said she was inviting him to meet with her. The president said he’d be glad to meet with her again, but did note that after their last meeting, a cordial discussion in the Oval Office, the governor inaccurately described the meeting in her book.”

Now, when weighing the credibility of Brewer’s account, it’s instructive to look at that 2010 meeting. After initially turning down the meeting, the White House (perhaps unwisely) accommodated Brewer’s request for a meeting. While the President and the Governor obviously disagree on the immigration issue, they appeared to agree on the tone and productivity of the meeting. Here’s the White House’s readout of the meeting, and here’s Gov. Brewer speaking to reporters minutes after that June 3, 2010 meeting:


It’s understandable, then, that the President would be “disenchanted” with Brewer’s completely different account of that meeting in her book. I’m not saying that Brewer’s lying, exactly, but rather, that she has a flair for the dramatic, and that the President Obama threat level was probably about as real as those headless bodies Brewer talks about.

This isn’t the first time the President has been burned by a Republican grandstanding about a private meeting on immigration. A few weeks after Brewer’s visit, Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) accused President Obama of using border security as leverage to pass comprehensive immigration reform. The White House denied the exchange. Like I said at the time, perhaps President Obama should insist on taping his meetings with Republicans, if only to serve as a memory aid for them.

    If anyone should’ve felt threatened it was President Obama for being in close proximity to that ignorant racist nutjob Brewer.  She is not fit to shine the President’s shoes, let alone point her crusty old finger in his face.  President Obama is class personified and he should not have to be subjected to trash like Brewer thinking they are better than he is just because of the color of his skin.

    Lets face it, Obama lectures everyone all the time so is it really out of the realm of imagination that he lectured the governor. We also know that he is thin skinned so its probably accurate that he said something nasty to her about her book cause it hurt his feelings. Tommy’s typical Obama defense is not accurate just like his fake name.

    As one of  the states with the best voting record in the nation, Arizona voters didn’t go for “You Lie!” hussein in the primary (Hillary won) and didn’t go for “You Lie!” in the general.  Everyone knows that “You Lie!” hussein and his imbecile AG (and Black Panther Party supporter and defender) holder have relentlessly attacked, vilified and sued Arizona because it tries to protect its citizens from ILLEGAL invader criminals (which they won’t do). Arizona has done more than any other state to fight d-cRAT socialist extremism, including blocking obozocare’s mandate, stopping forced unionization, prohibiting affirmative action discriminatory special treatment and countless other socialist atrocities.

    The citizens of the Great State of Arizona welcome ALL American patriots to join us in the epic battle against socialist extremism.

    And now, the Great State of Arizona will go after the accomplices to the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry who were part of, were knowledgeable of, and approved the OBOZO regime’s Fast and Furious atrocity. Look for holder/OBOZO to sue Arizona once again to stop this execution of justice, but their intimidation won’t work–patriots are not frightened by third-rate dictator extremists.

    She’s unwell. That’s a more diplomatic way of saying it’s clear that her brain isn’t functioning within the normal range for persons we wish to entrust with public responsibility. She’s in her 69th year & she speaks like someone with debilitating mercury poisoning. She should be under regular medical care, if not close nursing attention.

    Can you point us to even one video clip that shows Governor Brewer as anything other than a winger tool with manifest cognitive impairment issues?  The problem is not just her manifest, it’s her manifold. It might help you winger nincompoops side make something other than recording further Ls in the Hispanic vote column this November, because right now anyone looking at that photo who actually wishes to IMAGINE the discussion going on is saddled with the images of clips depicting her synapses as going into full cascading collapse.  
    To be clear: there are a number of universally accepted completely objective tests available from medical science to determine the severity of his unfortunate woman’s mental problems. We’ve already seen several examples of what could be early onset Altseimers disease or some form of dementia, but there’s definitely something seriously wrong here. I’m absolutely sure that if she were to submit to a fMRI on the condition it be made public that the result would be irrefutable evidence of mid-right hemisphere damage to the parietal lobe & a breakdown in frontal lobe efficacy. She should at least be doing brain gym, but I suspect the condition is so advanced at this point even neurotransmitters would have little more than a palliative effect.  Finally, having been a visitor to various locale in Arizona many times over decades, I feel moved to sympathize with the difficulties she poses for the Arizonans at this point. The situation isn’t anything like that in Wisconsin, or Ohio, or in California with the Grey Davis recall, where there’s an organized base on the opposing side of the political divide available to motivate a recall. There are indeed a few Arizona politicians who are first class & yet to be shot in the head, but Arizona deserves better. The tourist industry, which is – or at least HAS BEEN – huge in that state, has experienced a severe downturn tracing directly to policies of Governor Brewer’s administration. Good luck, Arizona: you’re going to need it.

    I don’t agree with Brewer’s immigration policy. But who could forget President Obama lecturing the Republican elected officials when they invited him to speak with them? Precedence; remember the Health Care summit, the President lecturing Republicans on the panel and then saying I am the President… so I can speak more times? He did most of the talking. For those who’d say what is threatening about President Obama. As a woman, can you imagine a man with power towering over you, condescendingly talking down at you? The office of the Presidency in itself is intimidating, and President Obama knows how to be very intimidating, while appearing courteous. He’s cunning. Everyone knows President Obama is very defensive. While does the main stream media feel the need to portray President Obama as this mild mannered man? He is quick to anger!

    Rick Lazio in his senatorial debate with Hilary Clinton, he walked towards her side, may be too close. The next day most media outlets proclaimed that Rick Lazio encroached into Hilary’s space. It was disrespectful. How’s that for fairness.

    Senator Obama wrote in his book that George W. Bush wiped his hand with alcohol swipe after they shook hands in their first meeting. Senator Obama’s first interview on his first encounter with George W. Bush, he also said it was cordial. Mediaite.com will have us believe that what you say publicly in front of the White House out of courtesy for the house is not at times restrained and diplomatic. Every politician and guests that have ever been interviewed in front of the White House have been known to choose their words carefully.  It does not make President Obama right.

    No, Tommy just put up a video of Jan’s comments after the meeting.  For some reason she didn’t mention the part about being lectured.

    Maybe she embellished a little in the book.  It’s possible.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_YCCUIOEO5JI5NKXFLDIRUF6X3U Phil

    I’d say Obama lecturing her is the most likely scenario.  He has shown his impatience with dissent many many times.  He would absolutely abuse his positional authority to dress her down in her own state.  He’s not used to being challenged by others, and the lapdog media(ite) reinforce that.  It’s been named “the Taranto Principle”.

    Although this, and the one before, is a “he-said/she-said”, Tommy clearly in the second paragraph has picked his side:  “The central dispute here, her 2010 White House meeting with the President, demonstrates Brewer’s tendency to embellish her recollections for dramatic effect.”

    And its ‘possible’ Tommy isn’t a raving liberal – but all his articles suggest otherwise. At the time of the meeting the governor was looking to Washington to do their jobs, and while the President was his usual snippy self he said he’d do something.  She would have been a very poor governor if she’d come out of the meeting with the President and called him an a-hole while still expecting him to do something for Arizona.  What he ended up doing was a joke and no help to Arizona or the issue (posting warning signs).

    WOW – TC is a sexist, for sure.  Drama queen?  There is one person involved in this story that is acting like a child, and it is Obama.  She asked for a meeting, she is a governor and deserves respect, he is having a hissy fit about a book passage.  He did the same to Governor Jindal.  He has a history of this kind of childish behavior. 

    But TC takes Obama’s side – now who here is suprised by that? 

    Glad to see the sales of her book skyrocketing.  Obama is a sexist, as most people know, he never treats women as equals…I recall when he got in trouble in the campaign by referring to a woman journo as “honey”.

    The Washington Post sure thought things were tense when Brewer and Obama met at the Oval Office:

    Brewer, Obama brace for tense meeting in Oval Office

    By Michael D. Shear
    Washington Post Staff Writer

    Thursday, June 3, 2010;
    10:22 AM

    Three months ago, Jan Brewer
    was hardly known outside her home state of Arizona. Today, the
    Republican governor who signed the controversial immigration law will
    sit in the Oval Office across from President Obama.

    The meeting was Brewer’s idea — an attempt, she says, to explain
    face-to-face her state’s frustration with the federal government’s
    failure to secure the border. In an interview with CNN’s John King this
    week, Brewer said her message will be: “we can’t — we can’t tolerate it
    any longer. We cannot tolerate it. America can’t tolerate it any
    longer.”

    That’s not all that different from the language Obama has used in the
    past, as he’s made the case that the nation needs to do more to stop
    illegal border crossings and crack down on the violence that can spill
    across.

    But the sit-down is sure to be tense, given the president’s very public condemnation
    of the law that Brewer signed. He has called the law, which gives
    police the power to enforce immigration violations, “misguided” and
    “misdirected.”

    Here’s the thing, that little show she put on was scripted right down to the timing of her crooked finger wagging. I knew as soon as i saw the news, that the “wicked witch of the west” had every intention of saying she felt threatened by him. Obama walked right into it because he incorrectly assumed the grizzled old piece of shoe leather had a shred of culture and civility. Still, at the end of the day, he climbed aboard Air Force One and will sleep in the White House, while she left the tarmac and slithered away through an open drain pipe.

    You have to love the way Mediaite allows their resident leftist activist to attack Jan Brewer with the sexist “Drama Clubbed” headline, especially since if a conservative commentator had used such overt sexism as Tommy Christopher has, Mediate and Tommy Christopher would be demanding that they apologize.

    Another ridiculous thing is how the most thin skinned person at Mediate, who is responsible for banning 80% of Mediaite’s conservative commenters, takes offense at Obama being called thin skinned.

    It’s obvious from the picture that Brewer was the aggressor at that moment, yet she still wants to claim she felt intimidated by the President.

    Which play out of the Southern Strategy Playbook is that and what buttons was she trying to push by claiming she was intimidated by the scary black man?

    Are you talking about Pres. Obama? I don’t think he graduated or ever completed any post-high school education, Harvard, Columbia or anywhere else. You’ll believe anything about the guy, won’t you?
    Do you also believe as he does that there are 57 states? Harvard Law Cum laude said it, so it must be true?
    A tip for you; don’t always believe everything someone write about themselves in an autobiography. Especially if they refuse to offer any back-up, or keep it sealed.
    Do you also believe possessing and using someone elses social security number as our president does, is not identity fraud. He’s a law scholar so I guess it’s ok? Please try to be objective. He is just an average man, not greater than many. Just a common man. He is not so special that one should  become enamored to the point of allowing themselves to be taken in and deceived.
    I am confident, not even knowing you, that you might do as good a job in the position as he has.

    Jeff is right. The president seems to be a very small and insecure man. Everyone ought to realize that by now. It may hurt, if you voted for him, I understand.
    Come on, he had to make it a point early on, to tell McCain that “the election is over, I won”. Talk about classless self-agrandizement. But he needs this. He knows he is in a position he is not qualified to handle and has no business in.
    Jan Brewer felt threatened, as she has stated. He should not have tried his petty “Al Gore-like intimidation tactics with a woman. Of course, when she said felt that way, she didn’t REALLY feel that way. She was just lying.
    Your comment about his race is just creepy. Where’s your mind at? Democrats are always thinking about skin color. Why? It has run in the party for a centuries. Will it ever separate from its oppressive past?

  • Anonymous

    She’s lying through her teeth. I know the type. Brewer invoking the famous “I felt threatened” line perfectly dovetails with her track record

    “feeling threatened” is the last-resort winning delivery line for a caucasian female, or male for that matter, to sway in their favor any situation involving a black man no matter the facts. The line is used when they know they’d done something they should not have done. Even non-racists use the line when they’re in a situation of their own doing & that they badly need to get out of. Because the line works.

    I wholeheartedly believe it is a line that’s explicitly discussed in certain households and passed on from grandparent to parent, parent to child and generation to generation

    The line has all the ingredients for a successful coverup. The dog-whistle aspect, the minority who by definition cannot tell the truth, the sympathy card if it’s a female vs. a black dominating man, and last but not least the racist streak residing under every single (alright, most) white person’s skin and in every single institution especially law-enforcement institutions in this country all under a thin veneer of mock multiculturalism, justice and equality

    Unfortunately for Jan she probably used it one too many times this time and on the wrong black man, a man who’s been under a magnifying glass for 3 years and who provably, and sometimes lamentingly, does not have it in him to be threatening. I may be proven wrong and the line may deliver yet one more time

  • Cecelia

    Let’s see, the White House has confirmed her story in that they admit the president brought up her book in order to chide her. 

    But of course, she’s STILL wrong in calling Pres Obama thin-skinned.

    Also it’s only rational that you would characterize her sense of “threat” as being a fear that the president would beat her up in broad daylight…rather it than being an ominous sense of anger and ill-will from the man who holds the highest office in the world.

    And it can only be that she was lying by not characterizing the president as being  condescending to a roomful of reporters immediately after a meeting and the first of what she hoped would be an opportunity for them to have a meeting of the minds at some point.

    Now I’m not surprised that some very partisan folks here launched into  personal attacks on this woman that made normal people fear for the plight of any female unfortunate enough to be within their sphere of influence or just on the same elevator with them, however, YOU are supposedly a journalist for god’s sake.

    Oh, spare me. Her book version is patently false as reported by press sources who were there. The White House meeting was perfectly cordial and mannerly.

    is this week’s buzzword, you don’t have to use it to describe President Obama.  The word means abnormally fascinated by self, or excessive self love.  It does lead to serious cognitive and social problems, but it does not describe Obama. 

    I do have to agree with BooBoo Bear’s assessment of GW Bush, and I would also apply it, with confidence, to Ronald Reagan.  I think the word you wanted is Confident.
