Excuse me but isn't Scott Walker stealing from Obama when he says this?

“I believe firmly that there are jobs to be had not just across my state but across America. If you work hard and play by the rules in America, you should be able to do anything.”

— Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R), quoted by The Hill.

WI is sucking wind in terms of jobs. Snotty is killing jobs left and right.

Wanker.... Women at my gym think he's gawd for the middle class. Most think that State Employees and state welfare people are the downfall of this country. Seriously....that's what they think.

Fall off the chair shocked if he wins the general. We need to do a better job then Wisconsin did at vetting him. There has to be something to find that will derail the Presidential aspserations.
