How Rude! In Handwritten Letter, Gov. Brewer Viciously... Invited Obama to Lunch

While the media have been busy painting Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) as a rude finger-wagger who dissed President Obama to "score some points with Obama haters," it's becoming more and more apparent that the liberal media unfairly took a snapshot out of context to further the media's storyline. They're simply not telling the truth.

Yesterday I noted the AP's raw video that shows Brewer warmly greeted the president's arrival in Arizona. Yesterday evening, Gov. Brewer released a copy of a handwritten letter she gave the president upon his arrival where, among other things, she reiterated an open invitation to have lunch to discuss their differences. Noted Yvonne Wingett Sanchez of the Arizona Republic:


The letter says in part:

"You've arrived in a state at the forefront of America's recovery -- and her future," she wrote. "We both love this great country, but we fundamentally disagree on how to best make America grow and prosper once again. I'd love an opportunity to share with you how we've been able to turn Arizona around with hard choices that turned out to be the right ones. And, of course, my offer to visit the border -- and buy lunch -- still stands."

The governor signed the letter "With respect, Jan."

You can read a PDF version of that letter here. Below I've pasted a capture from that PDF, with the portion about Brewer's offer to buy lunch shown in highlighting.

...to not translate her letter to the President into Ebonics. Oh, wait, sorry, that would only be necessary for letters to Al.

With the availability of the Internet, anyone who takes what is reported inthe media at face value is an id10t.

How rude of Jan to not offer some BOODLE with lunch

Submitted by CarlosS on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 2:08pm.

Oops, complete video and hand written letter pretty much makes ABCNNBCBS look more and more like the DNC lamdogs they are

Pretty funny that White House is now corroborating Brewer's side

Submitted by krendler on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 2:26pm.

...of things. Confirmed that Obama did bring up what Brewer wrote in her book.

Pretty clear what happened here. Right off the bat, Obama got in her face about it and Brewer gave it right back with both barrels.

Finger pointing aside, Brewer would have been justified in telling Barry to go F himself.

The way the media is spinning this (Brewer's a racist of course), conservatives should make sure they're wired from here on out anytime they're going to have a conversation with our esteemed president.

She had her motives.

I feel certain that she wanted to chew him up and spit him out... in the nicest way possible of course.

End 'gun violence in America' - Require training and MANDATORY "Shall Carry" by every Citizen.

If harry reid is the best person to lead the senate, what does that say about the other 99 senators?

He planed to confront her

Submitted by wingnut55 on Fri, 01/27/2012 - 3:41pm.

If the President didn't plan to confront her, why was the President's Limo parked so the cameras couldn't pick up what was going on? Who parks a Limo at the base of the stairs and then walks around it to greet people that came to see him? It was his plan to confront her about her book and she gives him a letter to invite him to lunch.
