President Obama gets a smack down from Governor Walker?
fox ^ | 2/28/11 | Greta Van Susteren

Below is a statement from the office of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker:

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.

I wonder if Obama could figure out how to change a diaper or balance a check book. I bet he can’t.

Or dig a hole with a shovel,
Change a flat tire,
Unclog a toilet.
Or tell you the name of even ONE Chicago Cub or White Sox player in history.
The town this marxist poser supposedly grew up in

Walker LEADS.....Obama READS(TOTUS)

At the risk of sounding racist, the difference between the two is like between a man and a boy. Obama never wants to grow up and deal with the issues the country faces. Walker is standing up and telling people the truth, even if it is not a pleasant truth. Then he offers SOLUTIONS, while Obama leaves it to others to find the solutions. Walker’s budget plan?... Tough choices, realistic assumptions. Obama’s budget plan?.....Even the Democrats said Obama’s budget is a bad joke, phony ‘savings’ and unrealistic projections.

Good for him! Somebody has got to stand up to Bambi and his goons, and calling Bambi on hypocrisy is a good tactic. The only problem is that Bambi is an idiot and has no idea how things run; but there might be people around him who would tell him to back off.

The problem is the left wing media won’t report this statement. In fact, if the left wing media would report FACTS and not oppinions there would have been no need to release this statement pointing out the difference between fed and state workers.
