He can likely push for an action, and can probably kill a given action if he chooses as the guy at the 'top of the pile', but he certainly can't do any of that without the DOJ's backing and vetting of the case ... he's at 'best' a necessary, but not sufficient condition. Likely, his day-to-day interactions with the DOJ are similar to Phil Knight's over his legal department - which is to say, oversight, but not direct management.

It's not really a major issue - you're more right than wrong, but the language is a bit strong and might be taken to imply something more about Obama himself. I think it's pushing it to say it was "Obama" as if it were him and him alone.

EDIT: I just realized that the disconnect might be coming from the military ... people often say "Bush invaded Iraq" or similar, to shorthand standing as CIC, and I didn't even consider you might be making that kind of connection, so my bad. I still think that the role of the President in relation to the DOJ (as I understand it) is different, especially given the nature of the title of Commander in Chief and the ceremony and etc. that comes with it, as well as the nature of foreign policy. I well may be wrong.

Personally, I think Brewer's just another horrific Arizona politician. We have (more than) our fair share of loonies. My theory: too much sun and dust + not enough water = crazy brains. As long as I've lived here we have had nut jobs in the governor's office. I did warn AOII Angel about it before she moved here.

On another note, the more I read about the Governor, the more I think she's insane. She lied that her father died in WWII fighting the Nazi. In reality, he died in 1955 in California.
