But at a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized -- at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of those who happen to think differently than we do -- it's important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we're talking with each other in a way that heals, not in a way that wounds. (Applause.)
Did that NOT describe Christie to a T? I'm trying to understand the difference other than the fact that one is a Republican Governor and the other is the President.
It was Brewer responding to Obama after he started the argument by bitching her out for her book. Your talking about when Christie is responding to reporters, after they start an argument by bitching at Christie. So, we have whiny, bitchy Obama, and whiny bitchy reporters. All Obama succeeded in doing, was to recreate himself as the rude, condescending jerk, that was now apparently, accurately written about in Brewer's book.
Who does Obama think he is disrespecting the Governor of Arizona? He is a GUEST in her state. Maybe next time she will not allow Air Force One to land in Arizona if he can't control himself and his fragile ego.

How is that partisan, hell I took that as a ding against both parties. If you choose to look at it as being partisan then that is how you actually look at things, as a partisan obstructer, just as the other tax feeding freeloaders on capital hill.
I'm sorry, when were we down this road? And please point out where in my posts I even remotely intimated approval of Brewer lying.
We have been down this road means that it this has been discussed before, I didn't mean "we" in a literal sense of you and I. The fact that you are posting debatable statements made by Obama and defending Brewer says that you approve of whatever she does as long as she doesn't like Obama.

What did she do? It seems like she met the president, and then he immediately started to chew her out about her book. When she responded to him, in mid sentence he rudely turned his back on her and walked away.

Right...first she lied. He told her that what she said was inaccurate so she resorts to getting emotional and point her finger in his face. If she walked up to him and callid him a **** ******** and a ****** then smacked him, you'd still blame him.
This is an official reception line to greet the POTUS on the tarmac as he gets off Air Force One.
The fact that Brewer went there with this letter to present to him shows she had an agenda. (The agenda being to present herself as the "tough lady who's going to straighten out the POTUS". Wild cheers from the Far Right.) Which she know will be eaten up by her supporters. There are channels for govenors to communicate with the POTUS. She didn't want to use that channel, she wanted to be shown on the 6 o'clock news shaking her finger at the President and straightening him out.
Let's face it. All of this was campaigning at it's finest by Brewer. IF Obama responded as he did I say good for him. She wants to act all tough and political? Give it back to her by calling her out on what she wrote in "her" book. She put her name on it. She needs to pull up her Governor pants and accept the fact that he may have been unhappy with it. The finger shaking was for the cameras. Juvenile.

Wasn't the letter an invitation to lunch? I do not understand how that constitutes that she had an agenda.
