A mob of protesters rallied outside the white house today to stridently voice their disapproval of Governor Brewer’s controversial Immigration law in Arizona - and her subsequent meeting - with the President to openly discuss the controversial issues with the aim of a resolution.
It was all to no avail.
According to Governor Brewer, she never caught site of the rag-tag band of upstarts, nor did any of the nasty slogans hurled in her direction fall on her Virgin (!) ears.
In contrast, Barack Obama was up-front-and-center, when the Governor made her pleas for stepped-up patrols, geared toward stopping the illegal flow of traffic on the Arizona border.
Brewer told one interviewer later that Barack Obama was adamant that he wasn’t going to even discuss the Immigration Law.
If not, what was the point of the meeting?
“I’ll leave it o the Justice Department,” Barack barked out, in spite of the fact he previously went off half-cocked and categorized the law as “misguided” before he even perused it!
In retrospect, it appears the President invited the Governor to the White House for all the wrong reasons!
Because Barack Obama specialized in Constitutional Law when he was a feckless student many moons ago, none of the issues should have been very tough to tackle, but the President stone-walled nonetheless.
Essentially, the Commander-in-Chief manipulated a military maneuver to ultimately put Ms. Brewer in her place.
If Barack was tight-lipped, it was probably because he felt backed into a corner - pressured - in fact.
Last week, for example, his aides informed Brewer’s handlers that his plate was too full to receive her for an impromptu appointment today.
When Obama suddenly suffered a backlash in the media - and his popularity plummeted in the latest polls - he was suddenly inclined to cave-in to save face.
But, it was all smoke and mirrors, when you consider what took place.
In spite of the fact Barack and Brewer (two of the principals) were present - with their teams in tow - the President informed Brewer that there would not be any discussion on the controversial issues right now.
Brewer was told in so many words that his “team” would contact her “team” in two weeks and arrange for a discussion about the National Guard on her home turf, with the specific aim of informing the Governor how many "troops" would be allotted for the Arizona Border, and so forth and so on.
Pretty Screwball, eh?
If what Brewer says is true - and I have no reason to doubt her recollection of the events since many witnesses were in attendance at the White House's Kangaroo Court - Barack Obama has fallen to a new low in my estimation.
Does he have a problem talking mano a mano to a woman?
Would Brewer ever be invited to a beer summit, I wonder.
Is the President, bottom line, a chauvinist pig?
