REPUBLICAN said Obama did NOT walk away in the middle of her sentence, he just turned and started talking to the other two people. He said they all had a nice conversation.

2. This is a thinly veiled attempt (IMO)

to define Obama as an "angry black man".

She was threatening, bullying him - not to mention disrespecting the hell out of him as President. Then she says SHE feels "threatened".

Bullshit. The angry tyrant Brewer ought to stop projecting her own arrogance and aggression onto President Obama. And finally, she ought to learn some damn respect.

3. Her body language at the time did not indicate she was intimidated

Nor has her attitude or body language (I don't know about her voice since I hit the mute button whenever her face comes on screen) during any of the clips of her interviews since.

On the other hand Obama's body language and facial expression looked as though he was humoring a nutcase and trying to no laugh in her face.

cannot be accustom to such trials.

A demure lil flower like Ms. Jan there showed her steel by being in the same room without a kinsman about.

How she held back the vapors, I'll nevah be able to tell.

and composure. When someone sticks his finger in my face, my first impulse is to want to break the finger off and jam it up his nose. But, God! the things the President has to put up with. No sign of an angry black man anywhere, but the repukes drag out that putrid stereotype every chance they get.

Mothers are handing over their babies to Obama when they see him and this crazy woman felt threatened?
