Unemployment was on the minds of President Barack Obama and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker on Saturday, as they delivered weekly addresses calling for leadership and action to put people back to work.
Walker touted the results achieved in part by controversial measures he took, including restricting the right of state employees to collectively bargain. Unions and others responded to his moves by trying to oust him, an effort that ended this month when Walker survived a recall vote.
He said his state's unemployment rate dropped and a budget deficit turned into a surplus since he took office in early 2011.
"Sadly, the president and many of his allies seem to measure success by how many people are dependent on government programs," Walker said. "Those policies have failed. In contrast, I and many other Republicans define success in just the opposite way - by how many people we can free from government dependence by growing the private sector."

The fact that Obama just put through a plan to allow illegals to stay in this country will not fly well in a period with high unemployment among real americans.
God Almighty! I never thought I would see the day that there would be a governor like this in Wisconsin.
Sad thing is, its about 4 years to late. He will make a great president and could have run this round.
As long as Scott Walker doesn’t become Mitt Romney’s VP. Stay away from political embarrassments from RINOS, establishment Republicans, and elitist Republicans!
We NEED Scott NOW. mitt witt won’t win. A lot of the conservative base NEVER will vote for him. I know Scott is helping his state now, but we need him nationally. God help us evade the two liberals running. STOP mitt witt!!!
First, burn this.

But what is little bammy doing instead?
(CNSNews.com) - At a White House reception held Friday evening in honor of Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Pride month, President Barack Obama celebrated a 1969 anti-police riot that started in what the New York Times reports was an illegal Mafia-owned bar for transvestites.
Hanging with the queers?
Yeah, THAT's going to really impress the voting population.
What an absolute to-the-bone moron.

Advice to Romney from Gov Walker, "Voters need to hear a "a very simple set of messages" from Romney that would lay out a clear plan for what he would do if elected, Walker said. "Its not just a referendum on President Obama."
"I dont know that voters are there yet with Gov. Romney," he said.
Walker also said he thought Romney had "a shot" at winning Wisconsin in November. The last Republican presidential nominee to carry the state was President Ronald Reagan when he won a second term in 1984.

Romney is not even in Walker’s class.
