It's just a big joke to the president

Yesterday Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer met with Barack Obama in the Oval Office to discuss Arizona's new law on illegal aliens. One member of the conversation was serious. Was the other?

It's hard to know when dealing with a president that can deliver lines like the following:

"Recently he claimed that he had never identified himself as a maverick," Obama said last month. "And we all know what happens in Arizona when you don't have ID: Adios, amigos."

The line earned the president big laughs, but Brewer responded by calling illegal immigration "not a laughing matter."

"No one in Arizona is laughing," Brewer said. "Do your job and secure the border."

No, he didn't say that yesterday, and he didn't say it about Brewer. He was referring to McCain but it was the catalyst that brought Brewer and Obama face to face.

The Washington Examiner has an excellent article on yesterday's meeting: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/polit ... 63044.html

"I know that he wants a comprehensive immigration reform plan" Brewer said. "I did not agree to that. I said secure our borders."

In my opinion Brewer is a lady to be admired, even above other better known gutsy conservative ladies. You must be in an elected office to effect real change. This governor has the courage of her convictions.

I think in Obama's eyes they are not illegal aliens but undocumented democrats.
