1. Wow, he wimped out

Couldn't afford to alienate the Koch Boys or the 5% of Wisc. dems who support him?

[sakabatou]

2. O RLY?

[RevStPatrick]

3. Is there any reason to think he's not really sick?

I wouldn't want to make the POTUS sick either.
Maybe he's actually doing the right thing here?
It is possible, you know...

[gopiscrap]

4. Yeah, when hell freezes over!

[RevStPatrick]

7. I really don't know what that means...

Besides, it looks like bullshit anyway:

6. That's exactly what Andrea Mitchel said about an hour ago.

[catbyte]

15. He managed to drag himself to the airport.

[Scuba]

18. Possible? Perhaps. It would be a first.

[jwirr]

23. Of course it is possible but with him that would be rare.

[Roy Rolling]

26. doctor's note

Yeah, if he is sick then let's see the note from Walker's doctor.

I'm no doctor, but is there such a thing as "stomach flu"?

[oldhippydude]

29. hey you think

those jerks...would pass up a chance to use biological warfare on the POTUS?

[teddy51]

5. If I were President Obama I would consider that a good thing actually. n/t

[LadyHawkAZ]

8. The 8 hour flu, I take it?

The kind you get when you don't want to go to work?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

12. I've had that flu

Usually caused by very nice weather.

[LadyHawkAZ]

13. I usually caught it from an allergy to pillows

Excessively comfortable ones.

[rocktivity]

20. Nice weather? I tend to get it when it snows

And only one thing seems to cure it:

9. Walker Gives Obama A Brewers Baseball Jersey In Milwaukee Visit

From the White House Press Pool report:

Walker gave POTUS a white Milwaukee Brewers baseball jersey with OBAMA and the number 1 stitched on the back. They chatted for 30 seconds, amiably with smiles and a chuckle or two. Your pooler caught up with Walker, who said he is not going on the factory tour because of a stomach flu. It was not politics, he said. “If it was politics, I wouldn’t have greeted him here.” (more from Walker in next feed). At 11:50 CST we’re rolling to the Master Lock plant.

Scotty is a widdle snotty today.
He can't make the meeting.

Signed,

11. Maybe a nervous ulcer?...the legal case

building up against him and his looming recall would be enough to give anybody acid reflux.
SG

[Brettongarcia]

14. Yup! PRobably throwing up all over the place!

[gopiscrap]

31. I call it a double case of

impeachment and indictment indigestion!!!!

[Surya Gayatri]

33. +1,000 ! n/t

[rocktivity]

16. More like implication-itis -- VERY contaigious.

You should all be grateful that Walker is being so prudent...wait, he greeted the President at the airport? And TOUCHED HIM???

[jwirr]

24. My guess is that he did not want to face him in front of a union audience. Thus meet him at the

airport and then go home.

[Greywing]

35. Why does it strike me so funny that

Walker gives the POTUS a specially made Brewers baseball jersey with the number 1 on it? This after snottily bashing our President in his speech at CPAC ... will Snotty Scotty run into a little fundraising issue with "Obama #1"

[Matariki]

17. That's no flu - it's an ulcer

http://www.bradblog.com/?p=9114

[Blue Owl]

19. Walker IS the flu...

He induces vomiting & diharrea...

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

21. That's what happens when you suck a lot of Koch

Screw you, Walker.

[CreekDog]

22. So I had to wear this, ridiculous thing

[notadmblnd]

25. More likely he was too busy lawyering up for his soon to come indictment.

[eyewall]

27. Republicans seem to have a pact among themselves to

as much as possible, disrespect a Democratic president publicly.

[DallasNE]

32. Does This Mean He Didn't Take The Flu Shot

And what kind of example does that set? Or, is this just a flimsy excuse? Which is it?

[mucifer]

36. he's a scared

[Redstate Bluegirl]

37. Who the heck does he think he is to diss the President?

Bibi Netanyahu?

[Grantuspeace]

38. Obama makes Walker sick to his stomach.....

As does anyone opposing Walker's 1% agenda.

[struggle4progress]

39. LBN is for important news of national interest only.

Naturally, we are always sad to hear someone has a queasy tummy that interferes with their prior plans, but these things happen with some frequency.
