In an exclusive interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer Thursday night, President Obama denied having a “tense” exchange with AZ Gov. Jan Brewer on Wednesday.
(Related: Read the original story about the encounter)
(Related: See the handwritten letter Brewer handed the president)
ABC explains:
“I’m usually accused of not being intense enough, right,” he told ABC News’ Diane Sawyer, laughing. “Too relaxed.”
[...]
“I think it’s always good publicity for a Republican if they’re in an argument with me,” Obama said of their most recent meeting. “But this was really not a big deal. She wanted to give me a letter, asking for a meeting. And I said, ‘We’d be happy to meet.’

Posted on January 27, 2012 at 12:58pm“I think it’s always good publicity for a Republican if they’re in an argument with me,” Obama said of their most recent meeting. “ And this is everything you have to know about the meeting and Jane Brewer. Nothing more than a calculated political move on her part.

Posted on January 27, 2012 at 2:13pmThe more Obama and his mouthpieces speak on this incident, the more it confirms Brewer’s position. Obama is thin-skinned and talks down to those he sees as beneath him.

I wouldn’t doubt Oblamer and Sawyer discussed it before hand because Olbamer wanted to be on record denying it.

He looks down his nose, ***** his chin up and dismisses the very notion that his feathers were ruffled by a woman. Ughghgh!! Someday, someone will rub his nose in the mess he’s made. Wouldn’t it be just come-uppance if it was someone like Jan Brewer???

Posted on January 27, 2012 at 8:24amNo dummycrap, lower-level politician wants to be seen with ODUMBO before this election. The dummycraps can play political hardball. Brewer can too. She certainly was not looking for publicity because she is an ODUMOITE. She has fought him every way that she could. The RINOS can only attack conservatives. RINOROMNEY is a prime example. He welcomes the ENDORSEMENTS OF LOSERS: mccain, dole, bush I. Soon bush II will endorse him. They will have a photo-op. Hopefully, the RINOS will destroy themselves.

Posted on January 27, 2012 at 7:43amNPR was doing their Campaign for Obama bit this morning. Had a long segment with two biracial, male comedians whose new show seems an Obama-thon with sketches based on Obama’s calmness. They discussed the incident where “some guy” yelled “ you lie” but the calm president was glowingly praised for remaining calm. Thus, NPR totally ignores and glosses over the fact that the Democrats DO LIE ! The New York Times had a front article article entitled Newt Gingrich and his “ the politics of personal destruction ” ( another big lie which totally ignores the politics of conservative Character Assassination which the Democrats have been engaged in ) . Also the New York Times has a column be Ed Milibrand, a Labour Party member whose father was a Marxist Jew who escaped from Belgium in WWII, flailing “capitalism.” The Dominant Media is in hyper Obama Lefty Campaign Mode which is one of the biggest obstacles Republicans face in this campaign and this international War on Capitalism . Thank heavens for the Blaze, as most of the media is a total Lefty- biased, Marxist propaganda outlet. ( and Milibrand is still involved in that London assault on the conservative Murdoch / Cameron government – part of this on-going international Marxist War on Capitalism and conservatives ) .

Posted on January 27, 2012 at 8:00amI read the enemy media and listen to them sometimes too. They are sick and demented. They are elite powerbrokers over the sheeple. The American public has been dumbed down so much that no one even understands the Constitution any more. The Federal Government and especially the POTUS should have very little power…Instead Obama lashes out at someone he should be yielding power to. IDIOCY rules in Washington…
But the real problem lies in the States that do NOTHING. They could end this crap very easily with a Constitutional convention. Of course now you must go to Google to look it up…BECAUSE YOU DO NOT KNOW THE CONSTITUTION!
And you wonder why your Country is goint ot hell in a handbasket?

He wants everyone to do their fair share, but yet he lets one group of people have a free pass that sneak across the border and they also get to use the citizens money of this country to get food, medical care, schooling, and much more at the cost of the tax payers. The citizens of this country have to follow the law. Where is the fair share in all of this?

Posted on January 27, 2012 at 10:22amUnfortunately, the Left has doublethink down to a science amongst their herd, so things like video don’t even mean anything to them. As far as they’re concerned, now that their Glorious Leader has spoken, the video never existed. What video?
To be fair, a lot of folks on the Right have the same blindness in regards to the GOP. Just look at the primaries, where supposedly Tea Party people are humping up and down on Romney or Gingrich. As if somehow, despite the ample evidence to the contrary, they are conservative. The “past never happened” in their mind.
I don’t know what it is with people. Tolstoy went to the grave wanting to meet just one truly honest man, disappointed. There’s something to take from that I guess.
