Jan Brewer News, Republican Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and President Obama got into a little tiff at the airport in Phoenix yesterday, if you haven’t heard. Governor Brewer was waiting at the bottom of the steps when Obama alighted from Air Force One. She handed him a letter, they started talking, and things quickly got, well , out of hand. According to photos from the scene, at one point Brewer appears to be waving her finger in Obama’s face.
Was Brewer disrespecting the President of the United States?

Well, she says she wasn’t. At least she says she wasn’t deliberately waving her digit up around his eyeballs in a threatening manner. “When I talk I am animated and I talk with my hands,” Brewer told Greta Van Susteren last night on Fox. “The picture was probably shot when I was moving my hands around.” However, Brewer went on to describe Obama as “thin-skinned.” He was complaining about how she had depicted a White House meeting between them in her memoir, “Scorpions for Breakfast,” she said.

The subject of that meeting was Arizona’s tough law cracking down on illegal immigrants, which Brewer signed into law and the administration opposes.

“It was [as] though President Obama thought he could lecture me, and I would learn at his knee,” she wrote. “He thinks he can humor me and then get rid of me.” Well, we’ve got a couple of things to say about this. First, if Brewer’s account of the incident is accurate, why did Obama bring the book up?
