President Obama did not take so kindly to Arizona governor Jan Brewer's greeting at a Phoenix airport. In addition to a handwritten letter containing an invitation to tour the Mexico border with her, she gave Obama a finger in the face and, reportedly, an earful, when they spoke on the tarmac. “I thought we probably would’ve talked about the things that were important to him and important to me, helping one another,” Brewer said afterwards. 1月26日，美国总统奥巴马飞抵亚利桑那州凤凰城，不过前来接机的亚利桑那州州长珍·布鲁尔表现得却不是很友好。女州长布鲁尔先是递给了奥巴马一封信，据悉这是邀请奥巴马一同视察美墨边境的邀请函。不过她的欢迎礼可不止如此。据报道，布鲁尔在停机坪与奥巴马交谈时，一度用手指指着总统，滔滔不绝地说着什么。布鲁尔事后表示：“我想我们当然应该是在讨论非常重要的事宜，对我和对总统来说都很重要，我们互相帮助”。 Apparently Obama was peeved with the way Brewer portrayed a conversation they had, on immigration, in a book. Brewer is a huge proponent of Arizona's controversial immigration law that allows police to stop anyone they suspect is an illegal and wrote on the subject in her book, Scorpions for Breakfast: My Fight Against Special Interests, Liberal Media, and Cynical Politicos to Secure the Border. 是什么惹得奥巴马如此恼怒？很明显问题出在布鲁尔两个月前出版的一本书，在书中她描述了与奥巴马关于移民政策的一段对话。布鲁尔是亚利桑那州备受争议的移民法的绝对支持者，该州的移民法允许警察采取措施对付非法移民。布鲁尔的新书《蝎子当早餐》（为加强边境安全与特殊利益、自由媒体和政客之间的战争）中叙述的正是亚利桑那州怎么对付非法移民的问题。 |
