Showing Original Post only (View all)Scott Walker Dissolves Into Gibberish When Asked About His Foreign Policy Credentials [View all]
http://www.politicususa.com/2015/05/17/scott-walker-dissolves-gibberish-asked-foreign-policy-credentials.htmlOne sentence is all it took for Scott Walker to reveal himself as the next in a long line of failed Republicans.
Face The Nations Bob Schieffer asked Gov. Walker what his foreign policy credentials are, and the answer was revealing.
Walker said:
Well, I think as a governor, its really ultimately about leadership. To me, in my lifetime, one of the best presidents when it comes to foreign policy was a governor from California. My lifetime, one of the worst presidents when it comes to foreign policy, was a freshman senator from Illinois. So I think its not just about past experience. Its about leadership. As a governor, you have to put a cabinet in place. Hopefully, you pick people who are as smart or smarter than you on any given topic.
I think thats something thats required of a successful president is putting people in place, be it Secretary of Defense, National Security Advisor, Secretary of State and others, and then having the good sense to listen to them and to others, chain of command in the military, consulting with the Congress. All of those sorts of things I think are important to the president, and I think a successful governors in either party have to do that every day.
