Just listen to the first 2 1/2 minutes where she says more than once that her meeting with Obama was, ''very, very cordial''.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One month later, here's what Brewer wrote in her book about that very same&amp;nbsp;White House meeting;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“It was though President Obama thought he could lecture me, and I would learn at his knee,” the governor wrote, calling his tone “patronizing. He thinks he can humor me and then get rid of me.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;There is absolutely no question that Arizona's governor, Jan Brewer, is a liar. Either she lied immediately after her meeting with Obama - which is very unlikely - or she lied in her book. Obama had every right to call that lying bitch out. He handled it a lot better than most people would.&amp;nbsp; No one should put up with such a bald-faced, and undeniably proven, liar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And really, think about that paragraph from her book.&amp;nbsp; Either Obama 'lectured'&amp;nbsp;her or 'humored' her.&amp;nbsp; Which one was it?&amp;nbsp; It's hard to do both.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22345435-2800567514902897880?l=15seats.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22345435/posts/default/2800567514902897880'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22345435/posts/default/2800567514902897880'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://15seats.blogspot.com/2012/01/jan-brewer-is-liar.html' title=''/><author><name>Stram</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_VlNCToaZIDg/R1LSHqoto9I/AAAAAAAACp8/iuSBRxqjmq0/S220/mohammed_Cartoons.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/9NVEn3iqHBM/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22345435.post-1426177197634425963</id><published>2012-01-26T20:31:00.046-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-26T23:46:26.828-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;The Fantastic Four Debate on CNN&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hoF5y_h1OEU/TyH_ktwihbI/AAAAAAAAL68/Ve0Alut6NjU/s1600/debate-intro-story-top.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" gda="true" height="225px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hoF5y_h1OEU/TyH_ktwihbI/AAAAAAAAL68/Ve0Alut6NjU/s400/debate-intro-story-top.jpg" width="400px" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"&gt;Oh Rickie.&amp;nbsp; Ron Paul absolutely scorches Rick&amp;nbsp;Santorum on South America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Could some one give Mitt a spine?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Newt's blinking big time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I forgot about my Swiss Bank accounts.&amp;nbsp; I did that once.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was some lira I invested back in the 70's.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Santorum failed basic economics.&amp;nbsp; Trickle down doesn't work.

That's right - it's &lt;a href="http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/politics/Snyder-focuses-on-jobs-in-2nd-State-of-State-address/-/1719386/8296716/-/pxffdyz/-/index.html"&gt;the lowest it's been since 2008&lt;/a&gt; and we Michiganders have Barack Obama to thank for that because if we would have listened&amp;nbsp;to &lt;a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2008-11-16-lameduck_N.htm"&gt;job-killing Republicans&lt;/a&gt; like &lt;a href="http://15seats.blogspot.com/2012/01/let-them-go-bankrupt-chrysler-to-add.html"&gt;Mitt Romney&lt;/a&gt; or Rick Snyder we would have been doomed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So when Michiganders are asked, 'are you better off than you were three years ago', we can proudly and happily&amp;nbsp;say, absofuckinglutely!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Thanks to Barack Obama!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Mr. President.

Before going under, the company paid large dividends to Bain partners and expanded its Kansas City plant with the help of tax subsidies.

Gallup says that, '40% of Americans describe their views as conservative'. Ninety-nine percent of that 40% would call themselves, 'Reagan conservatives'. All Republicans - I never use the word 'conservative' when talking about wingnuts - refer to Ronald Reagan when they ignorantly claim their bona fides on conservatism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reagan wasn't a 'conservative' - at least certainly not a fiscal conservative. Reagan never came close to balancing a budget and in fact, he tripled our nation's debt in his eight years in office. &lt;a href="http://15seats.blogspot.com/2011/02/ronald-reagan-myth-meanwhile-following.html"&gt;He raised taxes 11 times on the middle class&lt;/a&gt; and gave us &lt;a href="http://www.factcheck.org/treasury_tax_expert_to_bush_clintons_increase.html"&gt;the largest tax increase in the history of our country&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was Reagan a 'social' conservative? Not really, unless having your wife read you tarot cards every morning makes you socially conservative. Reagan didn't attend church. He was like most wingnuts I know who only talk that talk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would a so-called conservative sell 10,000 missiles to the Ayatollah Khomeini like Reagan did? If so, I'm glad I'm not one of those 'conservatives'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure, I believe 40% of Americans think they are 'conservative'. The only problem with that is the fucking idiots don't have a clue what a real conservative is.&amp;nbsp; I'll remain a proud liberal.&amp;nbsp; We have far more ethics and &lt;a href="http://15seats.blogspot.com/2011/12/gingrich-didnt-balance-shit-listening.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;we&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

While millionaires would receive an annual tax cut of nearly $150,000, many middle class and low income families would see &lt;a href="http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/01/06/399196/romneys-tax-plan-children/"&gt;their taxes go up&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/blockquote&gt;I'm always amazed at how stupid and uninformed the teabagging wingnuts I know are. Ninety-five percent of them make less than I do...most of them, not even half of what I do, but they're all going to be millionaires some day, of course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clearly, 'trickle-down economics' doesn't work and in fact, it's what destroyed this country's economy. But to the rightwing sheep - pathetic, guilt-ridden serfs - who for decades have voted against their best interests - that just can't be true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's going to be tough to be a great nation again when 45% of your population are so dumb, weak-minded and misinformed. You can take a man who lost his job during the Bush Great Recession and who now earns half of what he made before and he will tell you unequivocally that he will vote in November for the man and the Party that will re-institute those same failed policies.

Obama's grandfather fought in Patton's Army during World War II. Barack Obama has an American ancestry that &lt;a href="http://www.wargs.com/political/obama.html"&gt;goes back to the 1600's&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now Mitt Romney on the other hand has a &lt;a href="http://rockcenter.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/06/10005266-mitt-romneys-family-in-mexico-reveals-candidates-heritage-south-of-border"&gt;real shaky American lineage&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; In fact, his eligibility to be President certainly needs to be investigated before his nomination.&amp;nbsp; Romney's father, George, was born in Mexico.&amp;nbsp; That's because Romney's grandfather escaped to Mexico so he could continue his polygamist ways.&amp;nbsp; Did I ever mention that Mitt Romney is a Mormon?&amp;nbsp; I guess that shouldn't matter but we definitely need to examine his birth certificate to validate whether he's actually a&amp;nbsp;Mexican or not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like talking about American ancestry and patriotism.&amp;nbsp; Most of us&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://15seats.blogspot.com/2011/12/frankly-lets-be-candid-i-watch-hardball.html"&gt;Sons of the American Revolution&lt;/a&gt; and veterans do.&amp;nbsp; Barack Obama has a lot to be proud of his American heritage too. &amp;nbsp; But Romney would like to keep his heritage on the down-low.&amp;nbsp; If I was him, I wouldn't want to talk about those crazy, foreign-born relatives - none who &lt;i&gt;ever&lt;/i&gt; served -&amp;nbsp;either.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22345435-2617814537363158801?l=15seats.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22345435/posts/default/2617814537363158801'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22345435/posts/default/2617814537363158801'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://15seats.blogspot.com/2012/01/have-we-seen-romneys-birth-certificate.html' title=''/><author><name>Stram</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_VlNCToaZIDg/R1LSHqoto9I/AAAAAAAACp8/iuSBRxqjmq0/S220/mohammed_Cartoons.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22345435.post-6445898883070730177</id><published>2012-01-06T18:02:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-06T18:06:52.376-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: x-large;"&gt;'Let&amp;nbsp;Detroit go bankrupt!'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2012201060392"&gt;&lt;span style="color: red;"&gt;'Chrysler to add 1,100 workers at Detroit plant'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://15seats.blogspot.com/2011/09/michiganders-should-never-forget.html"&gt;If Mitt Romney&lt;/a&gt;
