“President Obama’s lack of leadership has completely changed how our immigration system now needs to be approached and Governor Walker has seen his fellow governors have to deal with the collateral damage of Obama’s decisions and lack of leadership,” Kukowski said in an email to TPM.
For a communications director, Kukowski is breathtakingly ignorant and uniformed, and she is redundant and repetitive, and ignorant and uniformed. And redundant. And repetitive.
I hope she stays on for the general election and the POTUS election and the National election and we get to hear her a lot and frequently and often.

Walker believes, according to Kukowski, “First, Obama’s executive action should be repealed” and that “we need absolute security at our borders and then we can address fixing our legal immigration system and deal with those here illegally but amnesty is not the answer.”
Yeah! Let’s repeal a non-law and then fix what’s wrong!! But let’s NOT repeat NOT use amnesty or forgiveness-- like Obama isn’t demanding or calling for-- because that’s just hogwash and garbage.

For those of you who don’t understand: Walker is a career politician who will say anything to get elected. Just like he was for Common Core before he was against Common Core. He’s everything that the Republican Propaganda Machine used to rail against before he got his elections bought for him.

The man has no integrity. Just more pandering to the Koch Brothers, the far right and the ridiculous (that means you, Donald Trump).

Walker like Rubio goes whichever the way the wind is blowing. Wouldn’t vote for either one.

Scott Walker is an unrepentant liar and a complete intellectual fraud.

The only ones who make Walker do anything are the Koch Brothers. They have him on a short leash and jerk him around like a trained monkey.

Walker stressed in that interview that “not only do I think they need to
fix things for people who are already here, find some way to deal with
that (but also) there’s got to be a larger way to fix the system in
first place.”
See, the media is always twisting these guys’ words. Clearly, what Walker was saying was that amnesty was a non-starter because everyone has to follow the law.
Like Giuliani. When he said he’s “not sure Obama loves America”, he clearly wasn’t saying that Obama doesn’t love America. Damn media.

The danger for Walker is the everyone’s cell phone has a voice recorder and a video camera.
Romney proved it impossible for a half sensible conservative to reinvent himself as a flaming tea bagger for the primary and then reverse re-reinvent himself for the general election. It should also be impossible for a road raging tea bagger like Walker to tell the truth during primary season and then revert to the phony, half-sensible persona with which he lied his way into Madison.
Romney at least had the benefit of serving out his term as Governor before running for President. Walker’s first act of the Presidential campaign is throwing his own state under the bus to impress a bunch of corn syrup factory farmers.

Duh. The mere election of a black man as POTUS was always going to cause everyone on the right to go batshit crazy over immigration. ALWAYS. The immigration freakout on the right began on and was the result of November 4, 2008. If you lacked the powers of rational thought, perception and prescience to foresee that, then you has teh derp.
“collateral damage”
[in the context of GOP/Teatroll governors and their states alleged immigration woes]
Teatroll Rosetta Stone: “It’s getting much harder for us to manipulate the electoral processes in those states to keep them solid red and under our thumb. Minorities really don’t like us, but their share of the population is exploding. This was all happening anyway as the result of natural demographic shifts, but Obama’s a black man in the WH and therefore symbolizes the concommitent loss of white privilege that accompanies these demographic shifts, so he’s a very convenient target for all the blame.”

I’ll go with Walker’s an unrepentant liar and fraud, but I’ll take a pass on the “intellectual” bit.

As I said—he’s an intellectual fraud—accent on "fraud."
Congress needs to pass a bill, but can’t because Republicans are in charge of the agenda in both chambers of Congress, and not Boehner, not McConnell, not Preibus, not Demint, not the Kochs, not anyone in or in charge or who owns key to the GOP’s jewels knows how they can address the problem while at the same time pandering to the party’s core support group of antihistory antiscience antiprogress anti-Obamacare anti-immigrant anti-black anti-Hispanic anti-Asian antithinking antedeluvian bible-belting gun-toting resentment-oriented white supremacist crackers, a.k.a… the GOP Base.
Thus Walker can say “Thanks Obama” and not get challenged in his own party or by any of the vast majority of pro-GOP reporters in the overwhelmingly pro-GOP establishment media.

I’ve heard a lot of things but this may be the first time I ever heard a Teabagger claim Obama made him an asshole.

and in bizarro republicon world …those are his good qualities
Exactly. It wasn’t Obama who changed his mind, it was the millions the Koch brothers keep dangling in front of his lifeless shark eyes. He’s just snapping at the bait.
