Arizona

Governor of Arizona stands up to obama maybe we need her for president. More and more people are showing their displeasure with obama about time. Get him out.

[Guest]

:shocked: Her actions were both rude & outrageous. No courtesy or respect for the office was given. IMHO she should give a public apology for her actions.:boom:

[Guest]

I totally agree with CaptG. Her actions were more dispicable than the clown who yelled, "You lie" to the President addressing Congress.

I did comment to my wife this morning after I saw the disgraceful picture on the Internet that I would not be surprised to see Jan Brewer get the VP slot on the Republican ticket - as one who stands up against Obama.

Naturally, this would be the last nail in the proverbial Republican coffin to ensure their loss in November.

[Guest]

unless you were in her shoes you only know what the media wants some to believe.

Bleacher judges have the least realistic perspective on any play.

She was very disrespectful to the office of the President but that plays well to the right wingers. Obama said it himself 'Republicans get good publicity getting into a fight with the President'. Ya just have to expect the worst and often get it. :ohdear:

People who were there, the mayor of Mesa and the mayor of Phoenix, said Gov Jan Brewer's account was totally untrue. She said she felt "threatened" by the President. On the tarmac at a busy airport, with the secret service and the press corps, she felt threatened by the President? The secret service should have put her face down on the tarmac. She just helped President Obama win AZ.

LOL - the governor of Aryanzona had a Palin moment. Wait until the camera is on you, and then point your finger in the other guy's face, so you look tough.

[Guest]

Sales of her book have shot up since the episode. Perhaps the motive? :ohdear:

[Guest]

Clueless liberals. Her actions are going to be applauded by her state. A win for Obama in AZ because of this, Arizona?

You guys gotta drink in moderation.

[Guest]

You folks say rude and disrespectful but this is the trend of people in the U S against obama. They are beginning to know he is trying to destroy this country. There is much disrespect on his part. It's about time we voice our thoughts hopefully we havent lost our freedom of speech yet.

[Guest]

As much as I might have disapproved of her *style*, she certainly has the right to express herself and her opinions to the President. Let's face it, how often would those opportunities come?

And if it was a calculate political moment, I don't think it would hand AZ to Obama. Not in this climate - she probably just got another few points for whomever the GOP candidate is in November.

[Guest]

give the credit where the credit is due. The media is to blame. Since when is it disrespectful to point one's finger (gesturing) while making one's point? Oh, the media said it was disrespectful.

I wonder how she would have been judged if the caption was something like:

Governor represents the people of AZ rights to Obama......or something like that.

I know it wouldn't matter as the spinners will spin...no matter what.

spin this...he is not some guy off the street,he is the President. It was disrespectful to the Office not just the man. Some of you are the same people that talk about the decay of good manners and yet defend this person. Just a joke. What happened to civility that some of you claim to want? Her lack of control because she didn't like what the President said? Aw too bad!

I have been asking this question for the last TEN years !!!

Do you read the posts on this forum ? They are representative.....we call folks with whom we disagree by cute names and sometimes not so cute.....respect and civility just have gone by the boards. If they dont agree with you or you dont agree with them you can call them anything you want and nobody is allowed to call you on it. There are threads on here today with the name calling in the titles. Why cant we disagree with each other based on issues...not internet clap trap or personal issues. You can call people, for example...medicaire frauds and nobody cares......I still care.....you just have to act like an adult

John McCain said recently "If AZ isn't in play in 2012, it certainly wil be in 2016".

[Guest]

we each have our opinions of what is or is not respectful which varies based on age, current environment and in this case political bent....from afar...not privy to dialogue prior to...or during picture taking.

Rank may have it's privileges but emotions sometimes roll past rank, usually not intentionally.

In my opinion her gesture has nothing to do with moral/political/value decay.
Some of the things we elect to focus upon as wrong in this 'permissive everything'-anything goes and is OK day and age is sort of surprising.

That gesture might be on page 27 of the ever growing list of disappearing values and or anything goes.

I don't know where you got that quote, or even what the heck it means, or in what context it was said.

I've made a diligent search, and have come up with nothing.


(I wish people who throw things out like this provide the link for context, like I generally do. It makes for better conversation)

The only context most links provide is corroberation for vindication. :ohdear:

John McCain made the remark on The Daily Rundown with Chuck Todd on January 5, 2012. I was unable to post the link, but here's how to find it very easily: go to Google and type in: Daily Rundown, John McCain's comments on GOP losing AZ. You're a smart guy, RichieLion. I'm sure you can find it.
