Gov. Scott Walker on Monday afternoon responded to comments President Barack Obama made earlier in the day about the protests in Madison:
Walker’s office issued this statement:
“I'm sure the President knows that most federal employees do not have collective bargaining for wages and benefits while our plan allows it for base pay. And I'm sure the President knows that the average federal worker pays twice as much for health insurance as what we are asking for in Wisconsin. At least I would hope he knows these facts.
“Furthermore, I’m sure the President knows that we have repeatedly praised the more than 300,000 government workers who come to work every day in Wisconsin.
“I’m sure that President Obama simply misunderstands the issues in Wisconsin, and isn’t acting like the union bosses in saying one thing and doing another.”

Walker 2012!!!
Yes, I’m sure the pre__ent knows all of that and has only the highest of motives in everything he does.
(insert eyeroll here)
Please Guv, don't give Obummer any ideas.
We want him in Wisconsin!
I love this guy. Where have you been Scott Walker?
Scott Walker > Chris Christie
I wish my state had a Gov Walker!
Walker is understandably a BIT sarcastic... I’d be too in his position.
I’m liking him more and more.
Normally, Congress would have to vote for that (why didn’t they, when it was solid Dem?) but knowing the Bummer, he’d try to do it by E.O.
I wonder if Obama’s cheeks are sore from all of Walker’s backhanded observations? :-)
I’m sure the President knows...
...squat.
Yeah! He’s OURS!!
Holy Cow! Now that's a real slap in the face for Obama...a full-on frontal assault!
No way, we’re going to kidnap him........
If he manages to stand up to the unions - Obama’s elite shock troops, since the unionistas are a tiny group in terms of the US employee stock - Walker could be the candidate.
As I keep saying (but nobody has responded), I am very familiar with Latin America, and what the unions and Obama are trying to do is exactly what has overthrown the rule of law in many Latin American countries that were formerly very proud of it, such as Bolivia, Ecuador, etc.
Obama and his goons want to make us a state-owned banana republic.
LOL! I’m sure the slugs camped out in the Capital would love that...
