class=topHeadline>Brewer, Obama exchange tense words over book, immigration at
airport</H1>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The following is a White House pool report filed shortly after President
Barack Obama's arrival in Chandler, Arizona:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>"President Obama arrived in Phoenix at 3:15 pm local time, finding the
chilly weather of Iowa giving way to sunny skies and temperatures in the high
60s.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>He stepped off Air Force One at 3:28 pm and was greeted by Gov. Jan Brewer.
She handed him a handwritten letter in an envelope and they spoke intensely for
a few minutes. At one point, she pointed her finger at him.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Afterwards, (I) spoke with the governor.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>"He was a little disturbed about my book, Scorpions for Breakfast," Brewer
said. "I said to him that I have all the respect in the world for the office of
the president. The book is what the book is. I asked him if he read the book. He
said he read the excerpt. So."</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Asked what aspect of the book disturbed him, Brewer said: "That he didn't
feel that I had treated him cordially. I said I was sorry he felt that way but I
didn't get my sentence finished. Anyway, we're glad he's here. I'll
regroup."</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>On the letter, she said it was personal letter asking him to sit down with
her to discuss the "Arizona comeback."</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>She said she "reiterated an invitation that I've extended to him before
with regards to coming to arizona and going to the border with me." She said she
would take him to lunch.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>"We've had a remarkable comeback here and I want to share that with
him."</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>She said the president brought up the book.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>"I thought we probably would've talked about the things that were important
to him and important to me, helping one another. Our country is upside down.
Arizona was upside down. But we have turned it around. I know again that he
loves this country and I love this country."</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Brewer is not going to Intel for the visit.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Obama was also greeted by Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, and Mesa Mayor Scott
Smith.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>During his brief stop at the airport, Obama worked the rope line.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Obama was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd, among them the mother of a 2
1/2 month old baby girl. The President grabbed the baby, as her mother took a
picture with her phone, uttering "Oh my God!" in disbelief</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>The President was given a basketball and a jersey, that Marvin Nicholson
took care of. One of the greeters got the president to sign on his cast.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>An update, filed at 4:11 p.m.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Obama arrived at the Intel campus after a brief ride in the motorcade,
which was greeted by thick crowds of onlookers lining the streets.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>A little more from the Brewer-Obama encounter.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>It was clear from the moment they greeted one another that this would not
be a run-of-the-mill encounter between the president and a local official. At
one point, she was pointing her finger at him and at another, they were talking
at the same time, seemingly over each other.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>He appeared to walk away from her while they were still talking, and she
confirmed that by saying she didn't finish her sentence.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>When Brewer spoke with your pooler, the AP and an NBC producer for several
minutes afterwards, she appeared a bit flustered and taken aback by the
conversation. Asked if she was, that's when Brewer said, "I'll regroup."</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>---------------</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Gov. Jan Brewer and President Obama exchange words shortly after
his arrival at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.
