Gov. Jan Brewer on Obama: "It’s Fair to Ask Whether He Intends to Be the Commander-in-Chief or the Comic-in-Chief" (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, May 16, 2010, 8:24 AM
Woah! Another home run for popular Arizona Governor Jan Brewer!
…And, another headache for the political hacks running Washington and America into the dirt.
Governor Jan Brewer DEMOLISHED Team Obama on Saturday for their divisive racial politics and for intentionally misleading the American public on Arizona’s new immigration law. Brewer took a shot at Obama’s comedy routine:
“It’s fair to ask whether he intends to be the Commander-in-Chief or the Comic-in-Chief. 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.”
Ba-da-Bing!
Governor Brewer was sensational:
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.
Hat Tip Brian B.
Governor Brewer and Sarah Palin also announced the launch of the Secure the Border website. The website is aimed at “educating” the nation “and some political leaders in Washington” on the state immigration law in Arizona.

I only recently (2 months ago) discovered Gateway and now it’s become my first stop news source precisely for videos such as this.
Wow, just wow. Stay strong Arizona! You’re our front line, but we’ll have your back. The majority is with you on this because you’re fighting the good fight.

God bless you Gov. Brewer. Obama threw everything at you but the kitchen sink and you never backed down.

Let’s see, Republican men are people like Lindsey Graham, John McCain and Newt Gingrich. Republican women are people like Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin and Jan Brewer. I ask you my friends, among these people, where do the TRUE balls reside? Hint;, it aint the 1st three.

Ouch! My bleeding butt. I first suspected Kevin or Barney was behind my butt’s latest fisting – in more ways than one. But, now I think it is Gov. Brewer.
That hurt worse that his one:

What a mensch this guy [Barack] is. Total sweetheart. As soon as he was elected, he told me he would come to the negotiating table without preconditions. You know what ‘preconditions’ are? That’s Persian for ‘balls.’

Here is an article from 2008 about Oklahoma’s crackdown and how effective it has been. Why no outrage there? Perhaps because IT WORKS?

Hey there are some courageous conservative men. e.g. Christie, Ryan, etc who aren’t afraid to speak up. And don’t forget male pundits like Rush, Hannity and Levin.

What a joy to see someone stand up to the Organizer in Chief. She best beware though, Obama is one of the most vindictive bastards to come along.

Support her and Arizona by buying something from an Az. online store!
Then when you buy something, if they have a place for a note…tell them it is in support of their anti-illegal immigration bill.

Back at ya, Barry! Bravo, Governor. I sent her some flowers, and candy last week. She and Sarah Palin, and all of the brave men, and women standing beside them, are my hero’s. You hear that Orin(I like Obama,)Hatch, and Dr.(she’s nice,) Coburn(what was this man thinking,)I always thought he had more backbone than that.
It seems as though the women in this country, are becoming the stronger ones. Am I the only one who noticed.

There isn’t enough ridicule in the whole world to express the utter stupidity of Obama and his regime. Years to come will prove that most if not all he is doing, was purposeful. He’s rubbing our noses in it and laughing, this Kenyan Muslim.

Here’s to the unsung heroes–both male and female who try to save this country from ending up on the trash heap of history. In addition to our Annie Oakley’s there is Rush, Mark Levin and Glenn Beck. Or how about our own Jim Hoft? Keep shining the light of truth on these roaches and watch em scatter.

“Keep shining the light of truth on these roaches and watch em scatter.”
Make those “truth” lights lasers. I don’t want the cockroachs just scattered. I don’t want them coming back in power at all. The country and its citizens can’t stand much more of their style of governance.
JTaylor commented:
These politicians should get out of the comedy biz, its all so funny I forgot to laugh. A California voter that wishes he could trade in his jokester of a Governor for someone like Jan Brewer. I support Arizona to the end and I would want to move there, but its too hot! Change may come to CA. too, I hope and pray, every day.
squeaky commented:
[The AFL-CIO and the nation’s largest civil rights coalition issued a strongly worded call for the Obama administration to sever its ties with law enforcement officials in Arizona or be complicit in the state’s racial-profiling anti-immigrant law, also known as S.B. 1070.] making your argument by profiling the folks you’re trying to portray as profilers. OK….life is a two way street.

I don’t blame her for being a little pissed over this, I live here too and isn’t any joke. Besides all the obvious reasons, as well as crime, drugs, etc., the environmental damage being done to our wildlife and riparian areas is obscene. Trash, clothes, plastic bottles, human excrement, by the mountain full fills our open areas as thousands pass through illegally every day. Brewer’s stock just went up with me…
Jerry Halstead commented:
Good for Governor Brewer and more power to the people of Arizona! I wish our Florida Governor had some balls and would take action like this.
Hang tough, Arizona and stay strong as our nation’s LEADER in the struggle to secure our borders, enforce our laws, maintain the integrity of our national sovereignty and sustain the value of our citizenship.
Now, let’s eliminate anchor babies and stop the insanity of rewarding criminals who spawn here with citizenship for their offspring.
Glenn / CA commented:
Go get ‘em, Jan. I just hope we can get things straightened out here in California.
As far as the called for boycott by some of California’s officials, I can only say that I know people who have canceled their vacation plans in CA and have made new ones in Arizona.
Hope to meet you on one of my trips. Best wishes and you have far more people with you that against you.
Jane commented:
I guess if she can acknowledge a joke, the joke is on her.

Jan Brewer for president? She has more balls to stand up for America than most the men in political office in this country

LOVE IT, GOVERNOR BREWER!!! Keep on fighting, LOUD AND PROUD, and don’t let that presidential HYPOCRITE or any of his Kool-Aid swilling cronies shut you up! The majority of the nation is behind you on this, and by ‘majority’, I mean that part that seldom gets represented by the mainstream media – which IS a majority!
