AZ Gov Calls Obama 'Comic-in-Chief'
In launching a Web site aimed at educating the United States on Arizona's controversial illegal immigration law, Governor Jan Brewer (R-Ariz.) took umbrage with the president's joke at the recent White House Correspondents' Dinner.
The event is an opportunity for its speakers to make light of politics, and President Barack Obama did so with Arizona's immigration law:
"We all know what happens in Arizona when you don't have ID -- adios, amigos."
It was this joke which became the target of Gov. Brewer's address regarding new steps the state government is taking to promote the law on a national level.
"It's fair to ask whether he intends to be the Commander-in-Chief or the Comic-in-Chief," Gov. Brewer said. "Since the president's joke was so inappropriate, I suppose, if I wanted to join in the comedian game, I could suggest that he should not give up his day job."
"Unfortunately, though, he isn't doing very well at that one, either," she added as her punchline. In the context of the Correspondents' Dinner, Mr. Obama's joke may not be seen by some as "so inappropriate." Gov. Brewer does not see the issue of border security as a joking matter, regardless of context. Read more...

How long before the big "O" blames President Bush for her actions?

Obama is a racist commie loving animal

Hang in there AZ, "Comic In Chief", is one of the nicer things that you could have called him. Apologizing to China, is just another un American act on his part. If he would get off of his socialist, islamic agenda and support the constitution of the United States, as he was elected to do, the states would not have to spend time & $$ keeping illegals out of their system.

Thanks Governor Brewer! I'm so happy about it all, that I'm sending in busloads of brownshirts to say "thank you" by smearing refried beans on buildings and windows in the shape of swastikas, throw bottles at cops, and in general start a nice little race riot or two!!! WOOHOO!!! I'm bringing this country closer together every day -- why, it'll be "hand to hand" anytime now!!!

Talk about racial profiling. go to mexico and get a traffic ticket. they pull you over because you are American or white and you pay the man right then and there. I am all for and support Gov. Brewer in her attempt to control this nation, at least on the borders of Arizona, from the illegals to do lawless activities.

Obamacare makes me sick
If only more of our representatives had the cojones this governor has we would be in much better situation, no Obamacare or chance the Cap and Tax bill that keeps being renamed would pass among others. Some need to grow them!
