  Mike....quit drinking the "purple kool-aid".

  Obama doesn't "grandstand"....Mike, that's all he knows how to do. He can't lead now that the Deficit-o-crats are not running the whole show. He can't work out any compromises with the Republican House. He talks to the House Speaker once every 6 months. Instead Obama flies all over the Country week in...and week out every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. He comes back when the House has left for the week on Fridays so..........nothing gets done in Washington.

  Putting the President's lack of manners in this meeting shows that he can't even stand and listen to a Governor for 5 minutes to ask him to come to Arizona and see the ...ILLEGAL ALIEN INVASION FROM MEXICO...........FIRST HAND.

  Mike, I guess that you, like so many Arizonians who for political or religious reasons decided not to serve in the US Military, have no concept of what leadership really is. To you, the President bowing like a servant to the Emperor and Emperess of Japan and the King of Saudi Arabia and giving a speech at the United Nations apologizing for everything that America stands for is..............leadership.
  Well Mike, let me tell you something....you wouldn't know the difference between grandstanding and leadership if it bit you in the patootie.

  Mark J. Scarp thinks that – ….. “once Brewer handed him the letter he should have just defaulted to,” "Well, I am certainly glad to be here in Arizona! Won't you join me as I shake hands with a few folks?"”

  In a Thursday night interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer, in Las Vegas, President Obama brushed off the incident with Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer and
  told ABC news; “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.’”

  Gov. Brewer has not been shy about the exchange . . . which Mark now calls “Grandstanding.”

  You forgot to mention Obama's PLOYS: Picking up a baby for the audience and giving it a kiss; Allowing a CRIMINAL FOREIGN NATIONAL to state how we should change our laws/society to make her life easier. An AMERICAN CITIZEN should have been there.

  Dale says: "Mark, You got that right!" And you call yourself a conservative? You're a tax and spend liberal who probably owns several books written by cloward and piven.

  Mark is obviously just another liberal-socialist hack who thinks that Hussein has done a wonderful job leading this country.

  Given Hussein's track record in economics and leadership, I believe that whatever happened between our Governor and the POTUS was at an appropriate level of respect that he has earned unlike his Nobel award.

  Greed and self-interest have been a mainstay of Arizona politicians for years. There is no reason to think that it has gone away now. Petty bickering and personal agendas take precedence over true needs of the people and meaningful issues. Jan Brewer was obviously using the moment to sell her book. What difference does it make that she had a chance to make Arizona look good in the national press for a change. Better to exploit the opportunity for personal gain. The finger wag was to make sure she got a Kodak moment. There is nothing genuine about our governor except her opportunism and disdain for her constituents.

  Obama acted like the egocentric, egotistical, ill-mannered person that he always was. Did the Liberals, the Progressives, the Democrats, the Socialists, the Anarchists and the Communists who elected him expect him to act....otherwise ???

  The Conservatives, the Independents who didn't vote for him weren't surprised at his boorishness...we had seen it many...many times before (remember the "white" cop bashing episode when he first came into Office).

  Sadly, the manners, mores and values of the 1950's and early are not the ones enforce today. No gentleman (heck, no "man") would have turned his back on a lady in mid-sentence.

  Do any of you think that Medea.....oops...I mean Michelle Obama would have let Hussein walk away from her in mid-sentence.......you bet your sweet bippie she wouldn't have...................lol.
