Scott Walker: Wisconsin Won't Launch Obamacare

Calling Obamacare a massive tax increase, Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Sunday he is going to wait before implementing health-insurance exchanges in his state.

“We’re going to wait,” Walker said on CBS’ “Face the Nation.” “For people here in Wisconsin and plenty of other states across the country, we want to put the power back in the hands of the people at the state and the local level, not be driven by a federal mandate.”

He said he believes in a free-market alternative to the government-funded health-insurance program upheld last week by the Supreme Court. …

Mark Levin had a great suggestion on his radio program Friday....if Scott Walker is agreeable to it, he would be the BEST candidate for Speaker of the House.

Boozy Boehner and Mumbles McConnell are useless, have no fight in them, and do NOTHING to further the cause of conservative America. They have to GO. Scott has the fire in his belly to fight and WIN, he's not afraid, he is straightforward, has political savvy, looks you in the eye and informs you as to what he stands for, how he is going about achieving what he believes in, doesn't need a teleprompter, has common sense, good organizational skills, is cool under fire, is conservative and he LOVES this country...he is NOT the go along to get along type of useless politician as are Boehner and McConnell, to name but two. There is no whiff of scandal associated with his name. He is a good man, if his win in the down and dirty fight in Wisconsin is any indication. Are there any impediments to this idea, and does he have a chance?

Ahem...Scott Walker has a job to do in Wisconsin. He is NOT running for Congress. He would have to be a member of Congress to be elected Speaker of the House. Levin is delusional.
