Grand Old Partisan salutes a great Republican, Scott Walker. The courageous Governor of Wisconsin is trying to fix the grave financial problems inherited from the previous Democrat administration.
Like millions of other Americans, he resents interference by President Obama's political operation, Organizing for America:
“I think we're focused on balancing our budget. It would be wise for the president and others in Washington to focus on balancing their budget, which they're a long ways from doing."
The Speaker of the House, John Boehner (R-OH), voiced his support for Governor Walker:
“Republicans in Congress – and reform-minded GOP governors like Scott Walker, John Kasich and Chris Christie – are daring to speak the truth about the dire fiscal challenges Americans face at all levels of government, and daring to commit themselves to solutions that will liberate our economy and help put our citizens on a path to prosperity. I’m disappointed that instead of providing similar leadership from the White House, the president has chosen to attack leaders such as Gov. Walker, who are listening to the people and confronting problems that have been neglected for years at the expense of jobs and economic growth.
“According to news reports, the White House has even unleashed the Democratic National Committee to spread disinformation and confusion in Wisconsin regarding the governor’s courageous actions. I urge the president to order the DNC to suspend these tactics. This is not the way you begin an ‘adult conversation’ in America about solutions to the fiscal challenges that are destroying jobs in our country.
“Rather than shouting down those in office who speak honestly about the challenges we face, the president and his advisors should lead. Until they do, they are not focusing on jobs, and they are not listening to the American people who put them in power.”
On, Wisconsin!
