Arizona governor throws down the gauntlet: Tells Obama to stop the jokes, secure the border

arizona-governor-jan-brewer

We haven't seen a glare like that since Dirty Harry said, "Feelin' lucky today, punk?"

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is pissed off. Really pissed off. And the object of her pissoffedness is President Obama.

She invited the Commander in Chief to come to Arizona and visit the Mexican border nearly a year ago, but he’s been very busy bankrupting the country and hasn’t been able to work it into his schedule. He did find time, however, to have the federal government sue Arizona for doing what the federal government wouldn’t – protect the border.



Brewer has huevos grandes, something this President is sorely lacking, so she put together this new commercial that challenges Obama to get off his duff, to stop making juvenile jokes about illegal aliens, and to perform his constitutionally mandated duties.

Hey, it’s a mandate, President Obama. You should love it.

  • Now that the Wicked Witch Bin Laden has been irradicated, move all the troops from Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya to the Mexican borders under the direction of Sheriff Joe. Warning for one month then it will be shoot to kill for all the invaders of our Republic.

    • I dont think mowing down desperate people is the best way to conduct our business. May I suggest an alternative? Perhaps the eradication of ALL cartels, and an over throw of the corrupt Mexican government? That would be a nice start to new realtions with Mexico. And I'm not suggesting not using our forces to accomplish this, in fact if we do to Mexico what we did to Saddam's regime and the Taliban, Mexico could become a profitable and better place. But we would need massive conservative change in our country first and the return of capitalism, or at least competing business tax breaks to encourage an econimic reboud.

      • No it is definitely time to invade Mexico and just take over there. They all want to be here and they need to be legal citizens, lets just go make them citizens. It's that simple.

        • A 51st state with millions of potential welfare patients on the dole? I don't think so at this time. We need to stop the immigration problem first so the good citizens in Mexico realize how much they need us, the U.S. When they ask, we can say sure, but only on our conditions.

      • Gracias Amigo. From Article IV, section 4 of our U.S. Constitution:

        The United States shall GUARANTEE to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and SHALL protect each of them against INVASION.

        Am so tired of our government going out of its way and financial ability to help every country outside of the United States while our government buries it head in the sand for REAL AMERICAN PROBLEMS!

  • I could not believe the moat comment, we have a moat its called the rio grande and they swim it every day... alligators are a great idea we should ship some in and transplant them. They'd love it, the rio is dirty, deep and filled with potential meals.

    I want Jan Brewer for President!

    • Too funny, the same "moat" runs through the middle of New Mexico but by the time it gets to south Texas most of the water in the Rio Grande comes from rivers in Mexico that feed it.

      Another thing is the illegals don't have to swim across anymore, they walk across the bridges we taxpayers had to pay for! Does that mean we have to stop calling them "wetbacks" and call them "dry pointy toed boot persons" from now on?

  • Expand our moral imaginations? What the hell does that mean? Does he just make crap up as he goes?

  • obama is the joke. If that jackass came to my door with a couple of secret service guy's I would not let him in, in fact I'd tell him to get off my property. I don't respect him.

    • I'd do more than that... I'd be chasing them off with an old, "Bang stick" which is better known as a scatter gun or shot gun...

    • Agreed! What hurts one state will effect all others in due time, hopefully it will go national just in time for elections.

    • I'm starting to wonder if Jan would like a promotion to an executive level position currently unoccupied due to a surge on golf outings.

  • Governor Brewer is the only politician in the border states that understands what needs to be done first, secure our border.

    If the faucet in your kitchen sink is leaking what is the first thing you have to do? You have to shut off the water, stop the flow, before you can replace the faucet. The same holds true for our illegal alien problems. Shut off the water, stop the flow, then we can figure out what to do with the illegals already living in our country. I cannot understand why the governors in Kalifornia, Texas and my own New Mexico, do not get it. Stop the flow, then fix the faucet.

    • Texas is working hard on passing the same kind of bill so local law enforcement can actually enforce immigration laws in our state. Of course many are fighting it tooth and nail but we're getting there. Then they can sue us too. The "SECEDE TEXAS" bumper sticker on my van along with the "Remember The Alamo" on the other side will remain right where they are no matter how many people hit it, scratch it or run into it on purpose while it's parked at the market. My front bumper is pretty much destroyed, the back one has been hit and is cracked in many places. If they destroy the back bumper, I'll put one of each of those bumper stickers on every window on my van. And no I don't care how my van looks, I'd rather take better care of my body than I do the vehicle I can't trade my body in but I can sell our van, lots of illegals around here would take it and they have cash... of course they do they don't pay taxes. Then I'll buy the exact same bumper stickers and put them on my new vehicle. I also want one I saw on a friends car the other day it said... Anyone Else 2012. I'm buying one this week!

      • What really sucks in New Mexico is we are allowing illegals the right to get a drivers license! $Bill Richardson, our last governor, along with the liberal fools in our legislature, decided it would be a good idea to give legal drivers licenses to illegal aliens so they would have to buy auto insurance to renew the registration on their vehicles. No shit bertha, if I'm lying I'm flying.

        The problem is, among the many, is anyone in this state can vote if they have a legal state I.D., like a New Mexico drivers license. Who knows how many illegals have voted in our local, state and national elections the past 6 years? Our new governor, "Go Susana" Martinez tried to get the House and Senate to put a bill on her desk reversing this law but the liberal fools in both houses tabled the idea. I guess they do not want to piss off their voter base.

  • Watch for the following developments that constitute a checklist of events that will unfold before the shit really hit the fan:

    Item 1: A requirement by any local or state government that its employees must be fluent in Spanish.
    Item 2: A lack of requirement by any local or state government that its employees must be fluent in English.
    Item 3: The adoption of policies by school boards that Spanish classes be mandatory or that instruction in English be optional.
    Item 4: The demand by a Mexican political party or a major politician that the southwest of the United States be returned to Mexican sovereignty.
    Item 5: The formation of an Hispanic-based political party in America.
    Item 6: The increasing display by many Mexican-Americans of nationalistic symbols such as the Mexican flag, in much the same manner that many African-Americans now commonly wear Malcolm X hats.
    Item 7: The emergence of a revolutionary (narco)guerrilla movement in Mexico.
    Item 8: The overthrow of the Mexican establishment, either by an election, coup d'etat, or revolution, that brings an ultra-nationalistic government to power, either right- wing or leftwing.
    Item 9: A general economic collapse in Mexico followed by a massive surge of illegal aliens into north America.

  • Obama´s answer: Are you crazy? I would end up being hacked in pieces by some stinking, filthy latrinos like in that Machete movie!

  • In the first speech in this ad, he mentions something about expanding our moral imagination. Huh? Best I can figure is that this is code for I'm makin' it all up as I go along. Or, it's code for I don't believe in absolutes. Or, it's code for I'll do the blaming here, you just sit down and shut up. And then the bit about alligators in a moat. What an arrogant prick, this guy! Thing is, alligators in a moat would be better than anything HE has done so far!

    • "...it’s code for I’ll do the blaming here, you just sit down and shut up. "

      That says it all.
