Obama better get off the golf course and start practicing his poker game.
Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker continued his foreign policy feud with Obama this weekend, suggesting that the president’s weakness on the Iran nuclear deal makes him the ideal poker opponent.
“I wouldn’t mind playing poker with this guy, because he tends to fold all the time,” quipped Walker during an interview on New York-based radio program “The Cats Roundtable” Sunday, according to The Hill.
Walker, who has consistently been a harsh critic of Obama’s tentative deal with Iran on its nuclear weapons program, called the prospective agreement one that is “not good for America, that’s not good for Israel and that’s not good for our allies around the world.”
Previously, the Wisconsin governor and likely GOP presidential candidate has insisted that, should he secure the presidency in 2016, he would dismantle any Iran nuclear agreement achieved by the Obama administration.
Obama fired back at the Republican lawmaker during an interview with NPR earlier this month, labeling Walker’s hypothetical approach to the nuclear deal “foolish.”
“It would be a foolish approach to take, and, you know, perhaps Mr. Walker, after he’s taken some time to bone up on foreign policy, will feel the same way,” Obama said.
Let the games begin.
