Pussy probably went into hiding in a near by state.

He had other things to do, like think up new and inventive ways to be an asshole to the people of Wisconsin.

stomach bug? that was the best way to get out of school because nobody can ever tell if your stomach is upset and nobody wants to go into the bathroom with you to make sure.. Sounds like when Dick Cheney suddenly was in a wheelchair for Obama's inauguration.

Yellow fever?

How terrible is the GOP base that a Republican governor can't tour a factory in their own state with the President of the United States because it would look bad if he went and did publicly yell at the President for something.

didn't*

I don't believe a thing this sack of shiat says: he's been out of state raising money for most of the past month. And there's maybe six counties in this entire state where he can show his face without attracting protestors.

Outrageous Muff: How terrible is the GOP base that a Republican governor can't tour a factory in their own state with the President of the United States because it would look bad if he went and did publicly yell at the President for something.

I don't think it's that.

for the first time in 15 years, Master Lock's unionized plant in Milwaukee is running at full capacity.

I think Walker is afraid of getting a master lock upside his head while he is touring the factory floor.

Typical republican pussy. No surprises here.

Imagine all the Santorum he's blowing out right now.

Walker's office has confirmed that due to a stomach flu, Walker will no longer accompany Obama on a tour of the local Master Lock factory, at which Obama is scheduled to speak in the afternoon.

And to think, I just watched an old Babylon 5 episode with this same plot. President going on tour with political rival and the rival ducks out due to catching the flu.

Mr. Coffee Nerves: Sounds like Walker is more afraid of coming outside and finding 4,832 locks welded to his limo.

Sounds like something Obama is more likely to be afraid of. Most people in unions are forced into them, and would prefer not to be. Walker has done more to improve the rights of the *individual* employee than Obama has.

you mean they'd rather not pay the dues but still get all the protections a union offers.

To be fair, there is a stomach flu going around Madison.

I see what you did there

Walker has really, really screwed up Wisconsin and his war against worker's rights is pathetic. I do not support Scooter at all and believe he is the greatest danger to Wisconsin in many decades. Also, I like public employees and had some good teachers. I support their right to collectively bargain. I also like Obama a whole lot.

Once this guy take's Walker's cock out of his mouth it's easier to understand him, it's like reading a whole different post!

his stomach was upset from swallowing to much Koch.

I'm home with it right now and a few co-workers are too.

That said, while I'm feeling pretty bad, I think I could get out of bed today to meet the president.

Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie confirmed to TPM, however, that Walker still plans on greeting Obama on the tarmac at the Milwaukee airport.

I hope there's a Secret Service agent standing nearby with a bottle of hand sanitizer. That would be hilarious.

I use that excuse all the time to get out of work!

Wouldn't this be the reason to meet Obama? He could give him the same virus which would make Romney President for Life and earn Walker ...dare I say it...A CABINET POST!

That's funny. I've worked for a union shop. The money they stole from my paycheck would have been better used by protections from the mafia. Quit being yet-another-armchair-liberal deciding what's best for me.

could it be that the union fought (and died) for your working conditions, benefits, compensation etc... be for your self entitled ass got there and that you are paying it forward so the next schlub on the line does not have too.

Conservatives think the earth is 6000 years old and we should be invading Iran right now, we need to decide what is best for you or you'll ruin it for all of us.

If you didn't feel you were getting your money's worth you didn't have to work for them; put that free market to work. Given money != stolen.

You make it sound so easy, just "change jobs". Sorry, for those of us not living off our parents, simply "changing jobs" isn't always so easy. I believe government intervention is warranted when it comes to protecting the rights of individuals, such as the right to not be forced into a union.

You had every right to quit and go work someplace where you did not benefit from the union contract.

I had it last week. I didn't have it that bad, but a everyone else in my family had it worse. That said, I know they would've been able to get out of bed and meet the president. I sure would've

Headso: Conservatives think the earth is 6000 years old and we should be invad

I don't know if thinking the earth is 6000 years old is a conservative thing. Reasonable people, however, tend to find the "official" approximated age of the universe/earth quite absurd.

Well, it is February, and it's pretty cold up there in Wisconsin, and health care in this country is a joke at best, so I suppose I could give him the benefit of the doubt.

However, since this is scott walker, the sharon osborne of governors, that we're talking about, I have a feeling "stomach flu" is politically correct speech for "meeting a secrit muslim socialist terrorist makes me sick to my stomach."

Screw this guy.
