Jan Brewer To Skip Governors Dinner At White House On Sunday
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/25/jan-brewer-barack-obama-national-governors-association_n_1301160.html
WASHINGTON -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R), in town for the National Governors Association conference, will skip a White House dinner Sunday honoring the nation's governors, telling staff she does not want to participate in a "social" event.
The dinner, an annual event hosted by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, is one of the conference's highlights. Brewer's decision comes a month after she dramatically confronted the president at a Phoenix area airport over his response to her portrayal of him in her book.
"I'm not," Brewer told The Huffington Post when asked whether she would attend the dinner.
The Huffington Post overheard Brewer telling gubernatorial staffers prior to Saturday's opening NGA session that she would skip the dinner because it was a "social" function, but that she would attend Monday's White House meeting between governors and Obama because it was a "policy" event.
