Obama's Wisconsin visit comes as Walker prepares campaign

12 hours ago • By SCOTT BAUER

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — President Barack Obama is bringing his push to raise salaries for low-income workers to Wisconsin, where Gov. Scott Walker angered set off a firestorm and built his expected run for the White House around curtailing collective bargaining powers and enacting a right-to-work law....................

Walker will greet Obama in La Crosse, Walker spokeswoman Laurel Patrick said Tuesday. She also criticized the reason for Obama's visit.

"In contrast to President Obama's overtime proposal, Gov. Walker's focus is on reforming government and cutting red tape in order to get government out of the way so our state's job creators can focus on working to expand and create family-supporting jobs here in Wisconsin," Patrick said.

Walker and Obama most recently clashed in March, when Walker signed the right-to-work law that said private-sector workers could not be forced to join a union or pay dues as a condition of employment..................

Message to the job creators; if you have to spend lots of money telling people over and over again that you create jobs. You aren't.

And what's Walker doing in Wisconsin anyway?

Is anyone supposed to take seriously the statement that "Walker's focus is on reforming government and cutting red tape in order to get government out of the way so our state's job creators can focus on working to expand and create family-supporting jobs here in Wisconsin" Is the implication that Obama should follow Walker's lead on job creation"? LOL! They just keep rolling along pretending Walker is not the most incompetent Wisconsin governor in memory.

I suppose Walker will school Obama on foreign policy, too, now that he has been memorizing the names of countries and such.

While Obama is trying to raise them. All this talk about removing prevailing wages statewide will continue to hurt Wisconsin going forward.

This is also a risk to Walker, he might get the Christie effect by agreeing to be seen with the President on at least neutral terms.
