Arizona Governor Jan Brewer ‘Endorses’ President OBAMA At Republican National Convention - video



VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/arizona-governor-jan-brewer-endorses-president-obama-at-republican-national-convention/


Republican Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and President Obama have had their well-publicized ups and downs, but in a rare moment of levity at the grim Republican National Convention, the strident administration critic appeared to endorse the incumbent. Governor Brewer told NBC News’ Ron Mott that “I know if President Obama is elected in November, which I hope he is, he will be able to come together with all of us and come up with a solution. I believe he will secure our borders. And therefore, we can resolve all of the other issues as a simple matter.” -snip-

Governor Brewer has be abusively and cravenly insulting to the President personally and denigrating to the Office of President. As for me, you can go take a flying f*ck at yourself Herein Brewer.

Leave it to stupid Jan Brewer to endorse President Obama on the floor of the Republican National Convention. The only time I've ever agreed with this idiot.

She has an Associates Degree in Radiology from a Jr College. This is an insult to Jr College graduates and Radiologists everywhere.


Only one video, so I don't know why he agrees with her now...

9. There have been several reports on it. In another one she said Reagan didn't secure the border.

There has been an increase of border patrol agents in the last few years, and deportations. So she may have meant what she said. IMV, she didn't sound confused.

What I don't have is a longer clip. Tx4obama's post below has a link from Medialite. Since I can't see them, I go to Youtube and input the titles and what's above is that.

If you can see a longer clip that conflicts with this, let me know, okay?

Rather odd, that. But who knows, with the increase of interest in the Democratic candidates in AZ, perhaps she feels the wind of change going against her. She is correct about some Latino opinion.

Latinos I know support Obama's border policies, not discrimination against those here, but fear the cartels. They've told me what is going on in Mexico, impacting family and friends. They watch closely and had to alter travel plans to visit relatives because the lawlessness in the areas they used to drive through.

But you're right, she didn't change the statement. And she seemed lucid and not confused. Not sure how that fits with the 'new' idea.

I heard her say it and I thought I imagined it. I suspect she actually likes Obama over Romney on a personal level. Who wouldn't?
