President Obama took advantage of a stop in La Crosse, Wisconsin on Thursday to get in on the fun of the 2016 presidential derby, telling an enthusiastic university crowd he's lost track of how many Republicans are running but that it's probably enough for "an actual Hunger Games. That is an interesting bunch."
Obama also stoked a regional rivalry while questioning the economic credentials and policy agenda of the "bus full" of contenders for the Republican presidential nominaton, particularly the state's conservative governor and as-yet undeclared candidate, Scott Walker.
"We've seen what happens when top-down economics meets the real world. We've got proof right here in Wisconsin. There was a statewide fair-pay law that was repealed. The right to organize and bargain collectively was attacked. Per-student education funding was cut. Your minimum wage has been stuck in place. Meanwhile, corporations and the most fortunate few have been on the receiving end of hundreds of millions of dollars in new tax cuts over the past four years..."
"What happens when we try middle-class economics? Just across the river, it's a pretty interesting experiment. In Minnesota, they asked the top two percent to pay a little bit more. They invested in things that help everybody succeed, like all-day kindergarten and financial aid for college students. They took action to raise their minium wage and they passed an equal pay law. They protected workers' rights. They expanded Medicaid to cover more people."
"Now, according to Republican theory, all those steps would've been bad for the economy, but Minnesota's unemployment rate is lower than Wisconsin's. Minnesota's median income is around $9,000 higher."(continued)

The kind of people who would leave are the ones you want gone.
Because of all the freebee’s that MN offers up at the expense of working taxpayers.
Buh bye
Even Liberals in MN talk about all the deadbeats coming from Chicago looking for handouts.
This was NOT a wise move by “He Who Never Stops Talking”
The kind of people who would leave are the ones you want gone.
Yeah, maybe we could talk him in to doing that for my state.
Forget it, the Somali’s claimed Minnesota first
Put a magnum condom on the doorknob.
These are Democrats. They will purposely let it hit them in the ass.
P.S. Don’t forget a bottle of bleach.

Heck yeah! GO! Git yo’ liberal asses to Minnesota. Then, with the liberals gone, maybe Wisconsin will be in the GOP Column next Election.
When the Queeer-In-Charge stated:
“”an actual Hunger Games. That is an interesting bunch.” “
The winner of the Hunger Games, iirc, was the only one left ALIVE.
Did the mulatto American P_resident flip off a Freudian slip, and wish the death of the Republican candidates?
That’s funny, because the St. Croix / Hudson area is full of ex-Minnesotans who have fled the state. It is part of the reason that western Wisconsin is so red.
He should have recommended Illinois to make up for some of the Illinoisans who have left.
Just an aside on the “Hunger Games” reference. When I asked my son who “President Snow” reminded him of, guess what he said.
If only he would urge the lefties to flee from the South. I’ll betcha a lot of us would volunteer to help them move.
In Scott Walker’s Wisconsin, Obama Urges Crowd to Flee to Democrat-Run Paradise In Minnesota and drink the kool aid there.
I have recently moved to Minnesota to be closer to family and for a new job. Watching Governor Dayton makes me wonder if the man is sane, has had a stroke or has dementia. The legislature passed a bipartisan supported budget, yet was called back by Gov Dayton because he wanted some additions in education. Didn’t his own party help fashion this budget and could have addresses his concerns during the session? Dayton then wanted the legislature to reconsider a bill he had already signed. Why didn’t he just veto it when he had the chance? The Metrolitan Council made up of Dayton appointees is now becoming an unconstitutional unit of government and wants to dictate to local units of government not only the numbers of minority housing units, but where they are to be located. Interesting that I do not see any low income housing units along tony lake Calhoun or Lake Minnetonka that are where the Birkenstock wearing, Volvo driving liberals live. Minnesota is on its way to becoming California.
Somaliland, formerly known as the State of Minnesota. I wonder how all of those left wing Minnesotans are enjoying their Minneapolis now that the Obama government has loaded it with welfare-collecting Somalis, most of whom don’t speak English and likely can’t read or write as well.
Gov. Dayton is well-known to have addiction problems and other mental health problems.
Minneapolis and the Golden Western suburbs have been California wannbe since the’60s.
We will help them move!
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
go to northern mn
Let all the leaches and moonbats move to Minnesota, and all the producers leave. Have the Koch Brothers turn Pine Bend into Wyatt’s Torch, everyone in Minnesota goes into the Two Minute Hate at the mere mention of their name anyway.
I spent ten years in that state. Mark Dayton’s first year in office was the final straw to move my business to Texas.
