VIDEO: Obama, Ariz. Gov. Brewer have tense exchange at airport in Phoenix

President Barack Obama went to Arizona Wednesday to continue his effort to spread the message from his State of the Union address, but also to begin his campaign for re-election.

He was greeted by Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, as well as local mayor. Brewer, who published a book six months ago with an unflattering portrayal of a meeting she had with Obama shortly after he took office, asked for another meeting — though this time she wanted to talk about jobs and Arizona's economic recovery, various media outlets reported.

According to the East Valley Tribune, Obama said he took issue with her portrayal of the last time they met.
