Statement in Response to President Obama’s Misunderstanding




Madison– Today President Obama again weighed in against Governor Walker’s proposal to balance the state’s budget deficit by having state government workers contribute a modest amount toward their own pensions and pay 12.6 percent toward their healthcare premiums.

In response to the President’s comments, the Governor’s Press Secretary Cullen Werwie issued the following 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.

We now have 26 - the majority - governorships.

How can that be when there are 57 states ;)

Walker fully understands that the limit of Obama’s intellect is that most holes are par 4, though some are 3 and 5.

"Governor Walker to President Obama: Shut the hell up you ignorant dumbass."

Yes, but with style and class.

I'm sure the President knows...

Furthermore, I’m sure the President knows...

I’m sure that President Obama simply misunderstands the issues...

Those are three killer opening statements (rhetorical speech for any lurkers or 0dumbo spies) in each of those comments. Because as Gov Walker knows and every half-way intelligent person knows (except for the mentally deranged libs or demturds or union thugs), that 0dumbo himself does NOT know or comprehend any of these three salient points.

Talk about a surgical beeeotch slap down of 0dumbo the commie pig! He's too stupid to realize that Gov Scott Walker just eviscerated him!

You say: “That was interesting and I hope him well in his run for Comgress.”

ahaha - It's Lt. Col CONGRESSMAN West. And the good old boys in DC are nervous. He won by a large margin.

he's already getting some movement on these things. He's intimidated by no one. He's faced mortal danger more than once. He doesn't adhere to PC.

That’s a kick-@$$ response. I see business-climate improvements in Wisconsin’s future.

Gov. Walker is just the first one warming up in the bull pen. Time is a comin’ for Florida’s new people to start in as well. Actually, Gov. Scott is already stirring the pot on the HSR and ObamaCare issues and has given Atty Gen Pam Bondi free reign on a laundry list of issues. She is definately a pit bull with lipstick when it comes to tackling issues.

But the one already out of the pen is Rep. Allen West. All of the stuff hitting the fan down here is simply obscurred by the goin’s on in Wisconsin. Their time to shine will come once the media figures out the children (unions) have lost this one and needs a new storyline.

Allen West is now the Congressman for Florida’s 22nd District since he won it convincingly last November. Where ya been? If what you saw was before the election, search youtube for even more fun since he was sworn into office, especially the way he handled the Executive Director of CAIR at one of his town halls.

Good for the Governor, unfortunately our president seems to believe he is king, not president.

The SEIU is Obama’s union.

_____

We must remember that Andy Stern, the former head and driving force of the SEIU, gave up his presidency of the union, and moved to a White House position. He obviously considered this move as going UP the ladder, not down.
