I'll play, since I call things as I see it:

"Ms. Brewer.....would you like to get together tonight, in my hotel room with the jacuzzi and talk about our open minded, classy views of the world and minorities? My wife won't find out."

Signed,

Nope, no hypocrisy here from the left folks. I noticed none of them dared touch my post pointing out the pattern of Obama getting snippy on the tarmac with Gov.s Jindal and Perry as well.
Whatever, you want to get your source about this from an actual newsource, like this story today and not some blog?

I think the lady doth protest too much.
Seems to me, she was interviewed immediately after her meeting with the Prez at the WH, and was pleased with the meeting and appreciative of the attention the Prez paid. But, I suppose describing it that way in the book, would not help sales. Badmouthing is so much more marketable. Actually CNN's John King just aired that interview.

Seems that governor Brewer is NOT getting any kudos for her bad manners from very many people who are the powers to be and the 4th Estate. I don't know what she acyually asid ans obviously neither does any other contibutor here but she is accused of disrespecting the "office of the presiden". Not the man, the office. One also cannot completely discount a traditional stream of unconcious racism that has shown itself througout this administration's tenure. Her book is doing well however.

I just saw a clip of this on televison. She described the meeting as being very cordial. The sad part about this is that right wing talking heads are encouraging this behavior and cheering her on for distorting the truth and disrespecting the POTUS. Meanwhile Obama is keeping it classy.

I was not a Bush fan but I accepted and respected the fact that he was my president. Clearly for some people, hatred of Obama is much more powerful than love of their country.
Obama, or anyone else, "knowing their place" is your assertation, heard only from those on your side.

As for disrespect toward this POTUS, he has done very little to earn any respect.

You can respect the office, but the occupant earns what he gets. And this one is getting just that (except for this unfounded adoration from his robots).
