Barack Obama, Arizona Governor | featured news

Arizona Gov. Janet Brewer’s office was flooded with mail condemning Brewer for wagging her finger at Obama during a tense airport encounter in January.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, R, sustained a controversy stemming from her confrontation of President Obama on an airport tarmac by releasing a copy of the letter she handed to the president on Phoenix... Obama dismissed the encounter as being "blown out of proportion" in an interview Thursday with ABC News. "I think it’s always good publicity for a Republican if they’re in an argument with me,” he said. “But this was really not a big deal."

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says President Obama was "somewhat thin-skinned" and "tense" in a testy greeting caught on camera on a Phoenix-area tarmac.

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said on Tuesday that she intends to press the issue of border security in a meeting this week with President Barack Obama at the White House.
