Governor Scott Walker has responded to a shot taken at him by President Obama with his own strong statement.
“President Obama’s failed leadership has put him at odds with many across the country, including members of his own party, and key allies around the world,” Walker says in a statement emailed to the press.
“Americans would be better served by a president who spent more time working with governors and members of Congress rather than attacking them. Whether it is cutting a bad deal with Iran, calling ISIS the JV squad, or touting Yemen as a success story, Obama’s lack of leadership has hurt America’s safety and standing in the world.”
In a recent interview with NPR, Obama questioned whether Walker understand foreign policy. According to the NPR write-up:
“It would be a foolish approach to take,” Obama said in an interview with NPR’s Steve Inskeep, “and perhaps Mr. Walker — after he’s taken some time to bone up on foreign policy — will feel the same way.”
