British Leader to Scott Walker: I Never Dissed Obama – TIME

WDYL 2016 — June 12, 2015


By Zeke J Miller / Deer Valley, Utah David Cameron disputes an assertion by the Republican presidential hopeful that he spoke ill of President Obama

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says British Prime Minister David Cameron confided in him that he was concerned about the direction of American leadership. But there’s a problem with the Republican’s tidy critique of President Barack Obama: Cameron doesn’t remember it that way.

Walker, who has taken several trips overseas in recent months to study up on foreign policy in preparation for an all-but-certain presidential bid, told a roomful of Republican donors Friday that world leaders, including Cameron, are worried about the U.S. stepping back in the world. “The Prime Minister did not say that and does not think that,” a Downing Street spokesperson told TIME.

“I heard that from David Cameron back in February earlier when we were over at 10 Downing,” Walker said. “I heard it from other leaders around the world. They’re looking around realizing this lead from behind mentality just doesn’t work. It’s just not working.”...........

Actually, Walker is one clown out of 17+ and there is no way any world leader is going to confide in him about a sitting POTUS. The story doesn't pass the stink test.

However, Faux listeners and teabaggers will believe anything that is against Obama.

Doubtful that Cameron would confide anything to a man he probably doesn't think will ever be president (at least not president while he is PM)
This is like his story about the teacher who lost her job. He lied about that. The woman has repeatedly requested he stop using her name in his lie, but he doesn't

The bigger liar he is, the higher his poll numbers go. Low-information voters support the story they want to hear, whether it is factual or not.

they will believe absolutely ridiculous, laughable, insanely idiotic stuff about Obama as long as it is bad. I'm not sure most non-wing-nut Americans understand how screwed up the wing-nuts truly are.

whether the mass media in America is merely a dangerous and corrupting corporate tool of fascism is long over.
Yes, it is.

The 2016 elections can not take place in the current media and campaign finance wasteland, it is too dangerous to the foundations of democracy.

Not the first time Walker has been called on a lie. I think this is chronic he is a liar even when he doesn't have to be. This could get interesting. He gets further on in this election and Bush or any other repub candidates think they can make hay from pointing out his lying and the press gets the ok to go after Walker his political life could get very interesting.

I think any PM of the United Kingdom, would have trouble confiding in anyone who looks and acts like they are only partial awake.
