Jan Brewer et Obama

Le Président Obama et la Gouverneure de l'Arizona Jan Brewer ne ont des opinions diamétralement opposées sur plusieurs sujets. Lors de la dernière visite d'Obama, Mme Brewer a affirmé aux journalistes que le Président était en colère et qu'elle serait sentie menacée par son attitude. Aujourd'hui, un second maire présent à l'arrivée du Président affirme qu,Obama a été courtois, contredisant les propos de Mme Brewer, une républicaine.

 "Out of the three officials who met President Obama on an airport tarmac near Phoenix earlier this week, Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) is now the only one who has characterized the president as anything other than cordial.

In numerous TV and radio interviews since the meeting, Brewer has said the president was “tense to say the least” and took issue with a book she wrote last year. She said Obama walked away from her while she was in mid-sentence and even told one Phoenix television station she felt “a little bit threatened” by the encounter.

But Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, who was standing just feet away from the president and the governor on Wednesday during their now-infamous encounter, told TPM that Obama seemed calm the whole time.

“He wasn’t tense at all,” Stanton said on Friday. “The guy’s a pro.”

Though Stanton declined to discuss exactly what the governor and president said to each other, he said Obama’s classic coolness was evident.%% “He doesn’t get animated, but he looks you in the eye and tells you what he thinks,” Stanton said. “And I think that’s honestly what he did is he looked the governor in the eye and spoke and told her what he was really feeling.”"
