Obama refuses to meet with Gov. Brewer [Reader Post]

President Barack Obama has refused to meet with Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona:

President Obama has turned down Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer’s request to meet while she’s in Washington next week as tensions mount between his administration and Arizona over the state’s new law cracking down on illegal immigrants.

It appears he’s too busy. And too busy in the future as well.

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.”

The guy is busy. He’ll be at a Paul McCartney concert and then host the Major League Soccer Men’s championship team. There simply isn’t time for issues of national concern or national security. There are more important things to be done.

Obama intends to overturn the Arizona law:

The strong message that the Justice Department representatives delivered at the private meetings — first with Goddard, then with Brewer’s staff — left little doubt that the Obama administration is prepared to go to court if necessary in a bid to block the new law, which takes effect July 29.

Brewer is running for re-election and Obama’s snub is likely to boost Brewer’s chances to win the election.

The Federal government has repeatedly failed to secure the borders of the United States. Obama seems bent on preventing individual states from doing the job that he won’t do. Not only does he refuse to protect our borders, Obama seems to be acting in the interests of Mexico.

It’d be nice if Obama would put the energy into defending our borders that he puts into trying to keep us from defending our borders.

Maybe if he weren’t so busy with important things he could do the job he took an oath to do.
