1. You may not want to point your finger at the President of the United States if it will appear that you are doing so to sell books. (I’m not providing a link to the book. I’ll not help those sales).
2. You may not want to point your finger at the President of the United States if you signed 2011 legislation that eliminated Arizona’s State Children’s Health Insurance Program, also known as KidsCare, which provided health insurance to uninsured children.
3. You may not want to point your finger at the President of the United States if you supported Arizona Proposition 107, which defined marriage as between a man and a woman; because as a Governor, it is my understanding that it is your duty to support the civil rights of all citizens, not just those who happen to sleep with the opposite sex. And, as Ward Connerly, a California businessman used his wealth to see this legislation put before Arizona’s citizenry for a vote, and as Arizona’s economic health is in great jeopardy, perhaps, he will be open to lending Arizona the money needed to defend this legislation before the courts.
4. You may not want to point your finger at the President of the United States if you supported Arizona SB 1070, one of the more draconian pieces of legislation which requires all aliens in Arizona to carry proper documentation and requires law enforcement to ascertain the status of anyone stopped by a law enforcement agent in the State of Arizona. We’re fairly certain that defending this action as the Department of Justice challenges the legislation will be a further financial drain on Arizona’s budget…but, then again, you’ve saved all that money on insurance for children.
5. And, as a final note, you may not want to point a finger at the President of the United States and then call him “testy” and “thin-skinned”, when it was you who had your finger stuck in his face.
