Scott Walker bashes Obama on foreign policy

[hue]

Gov. Scott Walker is still in his get-to-know-me mode as he paves the way for a possible presidential run.

In an article posted Monday in the conservative Washington Examiner delves into national security, blasting President Obama as weak-kneed on foreign policy.

Here's an excerpt:

"To me, if you have a strong America led by a strong president who makes serious statements about what they mean not only on national security and foreign policy, but on all other issues, we're not going to be faced with many of these situations because people will know if they're allies we can be counted on and if they're adversaries not to mess with us. And when we have an America where … Prime Minister Netanyahu was in the White House getting the cold shoulder from the president who still can't figure out exactly where they stand on Israel, and when you have… a red line in discussions about Syria which apparently (he) was never serious about doing anything about, no wonder, whether you were in Iran or Russia, or anywhere else around the world, no wonder people feel certain comfort taking action because they don't see this administration as willing to act. I'm not necessarily encouraging that we draw red lines all over the place. My sense is just, you shouldn't point a gun at somebody if you're not prepared to shoot.”

While criticizing the Democratic president, Walker drew subtle parallels between himself and his idol, Ronald Reagan, portraying the Gipper's takedown of the air traffic controllers union as a strong foreign policy statement.

3. Scott Walker isn't in any position to critique anyone on foreign policy.

He's the governor of Wisconsin. He knows NOTHING.
