President Obama didn’t exactly walk away from Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) during their disagreement on Wednesday on an airport tarmac near Phoenix, said one of the only people to witness the exchange up close. The president simply began talking to the other two elected officials who were there to greet him.

Mayor Scott Smith of Mesa, Ariz., declined to say exactly what he heard Obama and Brewer talk about during their now-infamous tiff next to Air Force One.

But the mayor said he was standing right next to the governor when the exchange took place and Obama didn’t seem to be in any kind of hurry to leave.

“There was no sense that he was running to or from anything,” Smith told TPM. In fact, he said, the president stayed and had a pleasant conversation with Smith, who’s a Republican, and Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, a Democrat.

It was “just the four of us,” Smith said. “Mayor Stanton and I had a decent talk with him.”

The portrayal of a calm, friendly president seems to at least partly contradict what Brewer has said about the encounter in numerous interviews since Wednesday afternoon. She described the president as “tense” and said he walked away from her while she was in mid-sentence. She told a Phoenix television station she felt “a little bit threatened” by the encounter.

1. Pathological liar and Republican Teabagger are pretty much interchangeable.

3. She got her media tour out of it and pimped her book some more so it moved up in sales.

She's disgusting.

4. I knew the bitch was lying

I hope the media picks up on this!

5. My guess is she is an alcoholic or a drug addict or both.

13. Something not right with her, that's for sure.

[NAO]

6. I blame Obama for "the Grim Brewer"; he took our Democratic Govenor

Janet Napolatano and made her "director of homeland security".

We defaulted to that reptilian, opportunistic bigot, Brewer, who (for reasons unknown and unknowable) was Napalatano's vice-governor.

If he hadn't done that, there never would have been an HB-1070, and all the racism and hatred it spawned in Arizona and all over the US.

A limo is frustratingly half in the way, so you don't see when the finger came out; but it's clear that Brewer was one of 3 people greeting Obama in a line, and he just moved on to the others, and then later walked to the crowd.
