President Obama has zero fucks to give - trolling the wingnuts at every turn and relishing every moment. Yesterday was a twofer: stomping on Walker, hurting his fee-fees in the process, and then kicking the recent RFRA acts in the gut.
Scott Walker is a joke and this time everyone is noticing. It's been one fuck up after another since he started running for President. He compared union nurses and teachers to ISIS. He stated he's qualified to command the military because he served in the boy scouts.
He told bizarre lies and fetishized Ronald Reagan's bible. He strangely said breaking American unions was a greatest foreign policy act of the past 50 years.
He's flip-flopped on abortion, gay marriage, energy, education, and guns, with his most pitiful wavering being a triple flip flop on immigration (he was for it, before he was against it, before he was for it again).
If this wasn't bad enough he further exposed his poor character when he caved to mild rightwing pressure and fired a spokesperson he had hired after only 24 hours. If he can't stand up to flunky Republicans in Iowa how is he gonna stand up to Al Qaeda?
Things are so pathetic he can't even answer simple questions on evolution or President Obama's religion. The roll out has been such a disaster that after only a couple of weeks he's banned the press from asking him any questions.
Then esterday President Obama was interviewed by NPR on the recent nuclear agreement with Iran. He was asked to respond to Walker's recent ugly pander, saying if elected he would unilaterally cancel the agreement, which would lead to war.
Liberated since the midterm elections, President Obama has been calling out shit when he see it, so he responded by calling Walker a fool:
I am confident that any President who gets elected will be knowledgeable enough about foreign policy and knowledgeable enough about the traditions and precedents of presidential power that they won't start calling to question the capacity of the executive branch of the United States to enter into agreements with other countries. If that starts being questioned, that's going to be a problem for our friends and that's going to embolden our enemies.
And it would be a foolish approach to take, and, you know, perhaps Mr. Walker, after he's taken some time to bone up on foreign policy, will feel the same way.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Poor little Walker - he was left nursing his fee-fees on twitter:
Bro, you mad?
Talk about projection. Walker and the repugs have done nothing but work against the President and the country.
Afterwards, the President hosted his annual Easter Prayer Breakfast with various progressive religious leaders. He praised Martin Luther King and Pope Francis for “encouraging us to seek peace, to serve the marginalized and be good stewards of God’s creation.”
He then broke from his prepared remarks, and in the smooth way he's known for, he called out the patently fake pious politicians, who use religion distract people from their abominable economic polices and warmongering, for attempting to pervert Christianity from love to hate, especially during week commemorating the meaning of Christ's life.
On Easter, I do reflect on the fact that as a Christian, I am supposed to love.
And I have to say that sometimes when I listen to less than loving expressions by Christians, I get concerned.
His remarks were met with strong applause. Of course in wingnut circles, they ran around with their hair on fire, aggrieved at being called unChristian. But no matter, Obama doesn't give a fuck about them. Zero fucks, to be exact.
