Weve got some healthy competition in the Democratic Party, but Ive lost count of how many Republicans are running for this job, Obama quipped in a campaign-style event.
Theyll have enough for an actual Hunger Games, he said, referring to the popular fight-to-the-death young adult novels.
Though he did not mention Walker by name, Obama clearly had him in mind. The two men met at the airport where Air Force One landed, shaking hands and chatting amiably.

(297,237 posts)But in his speech, Obama panned the tax cuts that Walker pushed through in Wisconsin. The president praised the neighboring state of Minnesota, where the jobless rate is lower, and where a Democratic governor has increased taxes but raised the minimum wage and expanded early childhood education.

(5,751 posts)"Walker is expected to announce his presidential candidacy on July 13, bringing the number of Republicans in the race to 15."
Clown car up to 15. Can it possibly hold any more? Think of the over-inflated egos in that clown car!
