That's what I was thinking, too.

Also.....I heard a week or two ago that Walker is testing the waters for a possible presidential run in 2016. Has anybody else heard this?

What he does is leave the state and give hints he will run. When he gets back to the state, he asserts that he has absolutely no intention of running.

I'm sorry to hear that you cant find other sources that say the exact same thing.. I didnt realize those that were smart enough to find city data, were too dumb to know google exists

Obama family 'costs taxpayers $1.4BILLION per year' | Mail Online

And of course the stupidity of the Washington Post, who claims the figure is a lie, but then goes on to tell everyone its the truth.. haha..

Is Barack Obama that $1.4 billion man? - The Washington Post

Liberals here in Wisconsin are seething over Walker.
He took the stick they were poking him with and stuck it in there eye.
Now libs across the country are soiling their panties.

Hey OP, stop with the theatrics. Obama and his family are bleeding the taxpayers dry with their lavish life style while 40million Americans are on food stamps and the economy is struggling. Obama goes on fund raisers while "Rome" burns. What is he raising funds for? He can't be elected again. Oh, I know, he's raising money for his cabal of propagandists and Left wing nuts to help them further his destructive policies in the ENTIRE COUNTRY! Stop worrying about what is happening in WI when the fake running the WH is much, much worse...

What are you talking about? Who is the author of that book that you believe is factual? You not only can derail a thread, but you can derail your own points.

I find it patently hillarious that someone is dumb enough to cry about some ghost-written book being written taking up Walker's time when they wasted enormous amounts of his time and state monies having a recall campaign.

Blind partisanship.

Don't like the guy, vote him out next election. *shrug*
