President Obama and AZ Gov. Brewer Share Heated Exchange [VIDEO]

A heated exchange took place between President Obama and Arizona Governor Jan Brewer on a tarmac at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.

FOX News Radio’s Steve Rappoport has the details:

Audio clip:

They smiled and shook hands after President Obama touched down in Mesa yesterday, but Arizona Governor Jan Brewer tell FOX’s Greta Van Susteren the conversation quickly soured.

(Brewer) “He immediately took umbrage, if you will, about my book that I wrote “Scorpions for Breakfast” and was somewhat of disgruntled, if you will, about the way he was portrayed.”

The book refers to their White House meeting in 2010 to discuss immigration.

(Brewer) “I don’t know why he was surprised by my book. He is very thin-skinned in regards to it.”

The Republican Governor shook her finger at the President before he walked away.

Despite the exchange, a White House official says the President told Brewer he would meet with her again.

    Have you noticed that these two always seem to be biting at each other. It reminds me of the way brothers and sisters quabble at one another. I'm not a psychologist, but I really think they actually like and admire one another and this is the way, as strange as it may seem, they express it.

    Some other news companies are trying to portray her as 'talking out of both sides of her mouth' by saying she has utter respect, yet she calls him 'thin-skinned'. I believe she's in line with what she is saying; you can have a critique for someone yet also have respect for him and the office he currently holds.

    It looked like a "set-up" shot. She was probably "wired" for future use in the campaign.
