As White House press secretary Jay Carney accepted questions from, White House reporters they were obviously interested in the reported 'testy' exchange between the President and Arizona governor Jan Brewer yesterday.
Carney dismissed any idea of a clash between Obama and Brewer, noting that the president was "very excited to be in Arizona," and noted that their previous "cordial" meeting in the Oval Office, was reported differently in Brewer's book."
"I think that there is -- that some of this is political theater to some degree, I guess." insisted Carney, repeating that Brewer's book "was not accurate" and "did not reflect what happened in the meeting in the Oval Office."
