Welcome to Arizona!
You‘ve arrived in a state at the forefront of America’s recovery — and her future. We were at the brink. We were at the bottom of the list in job creation. Today, we have a balanced budget and we’re in the top 10 for job creation.
I’m proud of that hard-won recovery — the result of many tough decisions, courage and perseverance.
My hope is while you are here you will have a chance to see our tremendous results first hand.
We both love the great country, but we fundamentally disagree on how to best make America grow and prosper once again. I‘d love an opportunity to share with you how we’ve been able to turn Arizona around with hard choices that turned out to be the right ones.
And, of course, my offer to visit the border — and buy lunch — still stands!
With respect, Jan
While the media reported this as a hostile encounter in which Governor Brewer was disrespectful to the President, both Obama and Brewer describe it as something different, although the picture is worth a thousand words. The obvious comments are:
1 - What big cajones Obama must have to fund raise in a state he has directed the Attorney General to sue.
2 - Obama continues to demonstrate an ineptness to lead or even to manage, as he prefers to spew forth campaign slogans and promises while failing to do anything except move this country towards the brink of economic collapse,...never mind securing the borders.
3 - Compare Obama's and the Democrat's national efforts (or non-efforts) to Arizona (and Texas) with balanced budgets, and economic/job growth.Mr. President,....you don't need the comparisons! With the States or Governor Brewer.
