Wisconsin: The real reason Scott Walker didn't go to MasterLock with the Prez

http://cognidissidence.blogspot.com/2012/02/scott-walkers-24-hour-flu.html


When President Barack Obama came to Milwaukee on Wednesday to celebrate Master Lock bringing jobs back from China, Scott Walker was expected to meet him at the airport and then accompany the President to the plant.

However, at the last minute, Walker skipped out of going to the plant, complaining of the stomach flu.

...

If he was so sick, why did he go the airport? Was he hoping to infect Obama with whatever creeping crud he supposedly had?

...


Some thought that he was afraid of protesters, especially when his old pal, Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, decided to leave him high and dry and refusing to supply adequate security for the event. Some thought he wanted to avoid questions about Walkergate, while others thought he was meeting the investigators regarding Walkergate.

One wag pointed out that maybe Walker was nervous because Master Lock also makes prison door locks and that hit too close to home for Walker.

maybe obama would have asked him about the rail money and mortgage settlement money. plus the fact that walker did nothing to influence master lock to return to wisconsin.



how many days are left before the voters in wisconsin can rid itself of walker? or will the feds do it for them?

1.)I was imagining the SS telling Walker to "F off" because Pres Obama prob had the word that soon Walker would
be a jailbird & He didn't want to associate with that kind of person.
2.) Also since Walker didn't have anything to do with the success of Master Lock why should he share in the glory??
3.) The Peeps in that neighborhood prob didn't even want Walker there since he hijacked their foreclosure $$$.

Clarke is more worried about keeping those 4 stars on his shirt than doing his job and serving the people.
