Obama praises nation's governors

This is same dinner that Jan Brewer decided not to attend. I guess she thought she was hurting the President, this will come back on her at some point. This President works hard at extending his hand across political ties.

President Obama praised a bipartisan delegation of governors on Sunday, saying they have one of the toughest jobs in the country.

"I've always said that governors have one of the best but also one of the toughest jobs around. On the one hand you guys are in charge, which means that folks know where you live and they know how to find you if something doesn't work," Obama said at a dinner honoring the governors. "But you're also in a position to make real and lasting change every single day. You're where the rubber hits the road."

"I want you to know that you've got a partner here in the White House," Obama said. "We're not going to agree on every single issue every single day, but the thing about governors is that, by nature and if not by nature then by virtue of the position, you end up having to be pragmatic because you have to figure out what works. That's why I'm confident that we're going to be able to find more and more common ground going forward."
