Listen.....that is the sound of unions crying.

Quote:Gov. Scott Walker is preparing to run for president in 2016 by hiring an experienced GOP operative and giving him the green light to build a foundation for a White House bid.

The Wisconsin Republican was re-elected to a second term this past November and has pledged to focus on his job as governor through the first half of 2015.

But he said in an interview this week that any “serious” candidate for the Republican presidential nomination has to join the race by the middle of this year. Although Walker stopped short of declaring his candidacy, he sounded like a politician who has decided to run.

“I very much believe that our next president should be a governor. And I think you look at the mess in Washington, and you realize we need leaders from outside of our nation’s capital, and we need people who have been successful,” Walker told talk radio host and Washington Examiner columnist Hugh Hewitt on Tuesday.

All Im hearing are those phony Koch brothers tapes

I love politicians. Just reelected only to soon neglect new job to run for President. Me sigh (bipartisan complaint here)

Walker has been a strong and capable Governor of Wisconsin. From a far distance, however, I don't get the impression that he will be a strong or capable candidate for the presidential nomination.

But we'll see.

He's been governor for several years. It's not like Obama who was senator for four months when he decided to run for president.

I don't know enough about him except he keeps winning elections in a fairly liberal state. I'll certainly hear him out.

Just hope it dosen't come down to Ohio State............E,r I mean Ohio !

Y'all are free to nominate him. You really want the Dems to run against the Koch Brothers? I think the Dems would love to do that.

I don't see a difference.

If you're elected to do a job, in a certain place, you should be there doing your job. I think any politician that shirks his job to run for a higher office should step down entirely.
