Pathetic. It seems that he just doesn't have time to meet with Governor Brewer. He just doesn't have the time. She requested a meeting with him next week to discuss the border situation and well, the anointed one is just too busy to meet with her.
Brewer will be in Washington to meet with other governors. She said Friday that she had asked to meet with Obama and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to discuss border security and immigration. But Obama's schedule "doesn't allow for a meeting" with her, White House spokesman Adam Abrams said, adding that the president "does intend to sit down with the governor in the future."
When Obama returns from his Chicago vacation on Tuesday, he will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Peru President Alan Garcia at the White House. On Wednesday, Obama is meeting with Gen. Ray Odierno, the top U.S. commander in Iraq, before heading to an event in Pittsburgh and hosting a concert at the White House to honor Paul McCartney.
Because, you know, honoring some old Brit rocker is way more important than the security of our country.
What a petty and divisive thing to do. OK, I understand he doesn't like the law, but dammit, what in hell is he doing to help? A leader would sit down with all the border governors and look to find a solution. A real leader would try and solve the problem, not act like some insolent toddler who was denied a piece of candy.
It's obvious to me that Obama doesn't give a fiddler's damn about this country or our security. If he did, he'd be doing something other than play endless rounds of golf or honor some old reprobate from the 60's.
The man deserves to be booted out on his rear in 2012. He is not fit to be President of the United States.

You mean the Arizona law that mirrors the US law that he is not enforcing?
He does infuriate me.

What does the Governor need from the President now anyways? The Executive branch has had their chance and now the Arizonians are dealing with the matter as they see fit. People have breaking points and Arizona finally reached theirs. Me thinks that the President should be trying to fit into the Governor's schedule if he doesn't like the law, not the other way around. It seems like that the president's lack of interest in meeting with the governor is a de facto stamp of approval.
