Walker peeved by Obama's meddling

[midnight]

Source: Politico

Republican Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, confronted with thousands of protesters outside of the state capitol in Madison, says “it would be wise for the president” to stay out of his state’s business.

“I think we’re focused on balancing our budget,” Walker said on Fox News Friday morning. “It would be wise for the president and others in Washington to focus on balancing their budget, which they are a long ways from doing.”

The governor – just a mere six weeks into his job – added that he is not threatened by the agenda of Washington politicians. “We're not going to be intimidated by people coming in from outside of Wisconsin trying to tell us what we need to do to balance our budget,” Walker said. “The bottom line is, we got elected to do a job.”

For days, Wisconsin’s union members have been demonstrating against legislation proposed by Walker last week that aims to reduce the power of public sector unions and cut into members’ paychecks. But Walker continued to insist that his decision is not about “degrading public employees.”

I loved the title so much I thought others might like it too....

[HereSince1628]

1. Scottie is such a tough guy. Maybe learned at a Badger Boys

two week leadership training course sponsored by the American Legion, he did so well they sent him on to Boys Nation.

[Faygo Kid]

2. Yeah, butt out. Walker takes his marching orders from the Koch brothers.

Who I believe have helped coordinate this union-busting in statehouses across the USA.

[russspeakeasy]

17. Me thinks you are correct....

[Democat]

26. Democrats should be runnning ads tying him to the Koch Brothers.

Are they?

[Jackpine Radical]

29. Give us the hard data.

Where's ANONYMOUS when we need them? I want leaked memos.

[Tempest]

31. $43,000 in direct contributions alone

It wouldn't take much to track down the indirect contributions from Koch.

[Jackpine Radical]

33. Contributions, sure. I want the memos.

This stuff is coming from much higher than Walker. Somebody handed him some marching orders. He's not that smart, and no new governor is going to come on that strong in the first month without a lot of outside priming.

[Tempest]

45. Koch is one of the largest employers in WI

And they have their hand in most of the natural resource industries in the state.

[brentspeak]

35. And the Club For Growth, the US Chamber of Commerce...

And all the other anti-American "Big Business" front groups.

[onehandle]

3. T.S. nt

[Lasher]

4. What a whiner.

Wingnuts love to dish it out but they sure can't take it.

[Omaha Steve]

5. I guess when he needs federal help (FEMA etc.) someday

He will stick to his guns and not ask for it.

[12string]

6. elected to do a job

well I believe that statement.A job on unions.I want to see headlines across the nations news waves that explain why this dirtbag took a state budget projected to have a 130 million dollar surplus and immediately upon taking office gave 147 million in tax breaks to create the shortfall.Doubt fux news will report that.

[midnight]

30. This has to somehow become the focus instead of Walker's message

that taking away benefits, that govt. workers have worked hard to negotiate,is reasonable....

[Mopar151]

7. "It would be wise"????

What does he need - a visit from 'Chicago Slim"s boys regardin' da erra' of his ways?

[Greybnk48]

8. Irony alert! His entire agenda is based on outside influence.

He's in the pocket of the Koch brothers and doing their bidding!! LOL!

[DallasNE]

9. Did Walker Run On A Platform

To end collective bargining for all public employees in Wisconsin? My guess it that this was a hidden agenda so he has no room to talk because of the dishonesty displayed.

[midnight]

47. His hidden agenda was just that..... He ran on creating jobs..

he just didn't say for whom..... Sounds like these jobs will be for the chamber of commerce...

[myrna minx]

10. -And he would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling unions!

[skyounkin]

22. Bwhahahahaahha!!

And their stupid dog too!!

I was thinking the same thing!

[Barack_America]

28. And that meddling Kenyan!

[stlsaxman]

44. Wouldn't Walker say "Uppity Kenyan"?

:shrug:

[Hubert Flottz]

11. He's young, he'll get over it...

Scott Walker is a corporate nazi.

[handmade34]

12. not a happy camper...

[truthisfreedom]

13. ANYTHING that peeves a repug guv'nor is a good thing.

Screw 'em. Leave the unions alone. Balance the budget by taxing the ultra-rich.

[BigAnth]

14. Did he also say that he didn't appreciate Boner inserting himself into the situation?

(so to speak)

[Myrina]

15. Tough Shit. Wisconsinites are peeved by Walker and the Koch Bro's meddling...

n/t

[sarcasmo]

16. Surprised this corporate whore hasn't called out the National Guard.

[Hugin]

18. There could be a large percentage of them which are also State workers.

Takes two paychecks these days.

[bemildred]

19. Annoying some people is a duty and an honor. nt

[Le Taz Hot]

43. You've just summed up my entire

DU philosophy. :evilgrin: (Sorry for the hijack -- carry on.)

[Blacksheep214]

20. Dear Gov Wanker

Please go fuck yourself, you pompous asshole! :spank:

Thank you,

IBEW member, Wisconsin native, Ya Der Hey!

[fittosurvive]

21. I wonder if he is peeved with boehner, for standing with him?

Seriously, this is a state issue that must be decided by the people of Wisconsin.

[Democat]

25. Of course not, because he's a hypocrite!

It's fine for Republicans to support him, but Democrats aren't allowed any opinion at all.

[TatonkaJames]

23. Hey Scott

He's president of ALL the people

[Safetykitten]

24. Good. It's about time.

[opihimoimoi]

27. Walker sez he got elected to be a DICTATOR?or a Leader who acts thinks for the best interest for the

people in the State??

He is acting like Mussolini and other dictators of re known..

Wassa matter wid his twisted brain...he no can think?

[Critters2]

32. To quote my dad, a Wisconsin voter and taxpayer:

"Balancing the budget, my ass! This is about breaking the unions!"

I love my dad.

[sallyseven]

34. Walker needs a brain adjustment

I saw joe the blowhard this am. He told one lie after another blaming the unions for all kinds of bs. That guy is so stupid and obnoxious. The governor needs to leave office right away. Mika needs a good kick in the behind what a tool she is.

[Arkana]

36. I'm sure Mr. Walker will remember this when his totalitarian ass is booted out.

[Kingofalldems]

37. Kick for Pro-Democratic Party news

[w4rma]

38. Hammer him on his ties to the Koch brothers, international Chamber of Commerce and other outside

of the U.S. groups.

[du_grad]

39. Didn't Nixon also blame a lot of his problems with protests on...

...outside agitators??

[donheld]

40. "intimidated by people coming in from outside of Wisconsin"

Unless it's the Koch Brothers. Walker has no problem at all with meddling Kochs.

[eridani]

41. Not to be infantile, but I do believe the phrase---------

[Demeter]

42. Time to Throw This Knock-Off Mussolini in Jail

too bad stupidity isn't a crime.

[L. Coyote]

46. It would be wise for Hoseni Walker to remember where his funding comes from.

Yes, that's Hose-ni, not Hosni :rofl:

[Matariki]

48. and his little dog too...

[underpants]

49. "meddling" is a RW radio/media agreed upon talking point

of course Politico carries the water as usual

[yurbud]

50. what would have happened if a Dem gov said that to Bush?
