And the way Walker fawned over, and tried to brown-nose a person who he thought was David Koch in a taped prank call is telling about Walker on so many levels (much like Romney's secret 47% speech that helped torpedo his campaign).
Since you are from Wisconsin Minte, I am sure you have heard of at least a few of the scandals involving Walker and his appointed aides ("John Doe Investigation", etc).
You honestly think Scott Walker has accomplished more than Obama? 
Academically, professionally, and in politics, President Obama's accomplishments dwarf the divisive politics of Governor Scott Walker.
It is funny how Walker is trying to position himself as either a Christie running mate, or if Chris falls because of his own scandals, then he hopes to pick up Christie's base.
I'm pretty sure that Walker's staunch anti-abortion stance, and positions on other women's issues will doom him if he should run for President in 2016, especially if the son of a preacher man ends up running against a woman (say, Hillary Clinton):

The thread was about turning Wi around financially. He ran on that, he ran again at the recall on that and twice he beat strong democratic contenders. This is in a democratic state.
He did what he said he would do, he was vilified for what was going to happen because of those promises and they were wrong. Walker was right. He took some serious blows and didn't flinch.
I do not agree with his conservative position on abortion and most of the rights religious stances. But as a leader what does that actually matter? The supreme court decided roe v wade. The church is it's own worst enemy.
What I care about in a leader he has achieved.
He took a position and saw it through. None of the union people lost jobs. They are simply now paying for the benefits that the rest of us taxpayers in the state have to pay for.
He is not a Harvard professor, or a wall street icon. He is a common man from Milwaukee that came up through the ranks and learned to work with people as much as possible.
