Gov. Walker and Kudlow's Pants-on-Fire Misrepresentation, November 19, 2013 Kudlow Report

Gov. Walker on ACA: Made promise nobody could deliver

Well, I think that's part of the problem is if you have someone who didn't have executive experience and they let the political shop in the white house run everything.  Political shops as you know and I know, they have a major impact on policy but they're not the sole force of policy here.  I think that's part of the problem. They made a promise that nobody could deliver on. Not just in terms of the web side but the overall policy of Obama care which is an abysmal failure.

 Scott Walker, Governor of Wisconsin

Kudlow Report – November 19, 2013

===============================

Kudlow Report | Larry Kudlow, CNBC host – The Kudlow Report,  kicked-off his Tuesday, November 19, 2013 interview with Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, by implying that President Barack Obama has misrepresented the truth 3 times in the Affordable Health Care law.  

He said, “Let me just start, the polls are crashing and Obama is caught in essentially his third falsehood on this subject.   What’s your take on this”?    

Governor Walker responded, “Well, I think that's part of the problem is if you have someone who didn't have executive experience and they let the political shop in the white house run everything.  Political shops as you know and I know, they have a major impact on policy but they're not the sole force of policy here.  I think that's part of the problem. They made a promise that nobody could deliver on. Not just in terms of the web side but the overall policy of Obama care which is an abysmal failure.

Pants-on-Fire abysmal failure

The first and glaring problem with Kudlow’s question is, he’s posing the question to an elected official with a record of shameless and skewed self-aggrandizement - an elected official with an abysmal record and is perceived by a wide poll of voters in Wisconsin to be a failure in overall leadership.   This is especially weighted when it comes to his drive to eliminate most public-sector collective bargaining; and, his 250,000 private sector job promise.  He is at 90,000, August 2013 (Journal Sentinel Politifacts Wisconsin).

To the point of President Obama not having ‘'executive experience”, the governor is again – to use his words - an abysmal failure.  His role as County Executive in the City of Milwaukee was spent with him running for governor with issues that gives a distorted view and ignores his outsourcing efforts that drove jobs and economic development elsewhere, massive neglect of Milwaukee county aging infrastructure, one of which killed a youth, quality of life issues and in a net position made NO real city-wide or county-wide gain for the people of Milwaukee.  

His "executive leadership" left loyal members of his staff "holding-the-bag" and criminal records.  Governor Walker is yet being looked at for his alleged John Doe misconconduct in office as Milwaukee County Executive.   

As Governor of Wisconsin, his abysmal and discriminatory leadership can be seen in his 2013 State of the Union speech minus African American, his dissing – disrespect - of Milwaukee , failure of his administration to include African Americans (majority population in Milwaukee – over 40%) in job creation (highest unemployed with reported census tract 55% unemployed) and deplorable/abysmal failure to assist Wisconsin in the Affordable Health Care law – this is most visibly seen in Walker’s decision regarding Badger Care Plus, Medicaid and Chip recipients in 92,000 Wisconsinites removed from Medicare health care assistance.

Did he say abysmal failure?  

Did Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker say executive experience vs political shop?
Did he say promise of President Obama?  Perhaps if he had provided leadership in Wisconsin for Affordable Health Care for approximately 5.8 million folk - the haves are benefitted if ALL have health care - the largest budget item in Wisconsin (health care) can go down?  This benefits our GNP and GDP.

Then, there is Walker's promise of 250,000 private sector jobs - he's at 90,000 in August, 2013.

According to Governor Walker, “Governors lay out vision – big bold ideas”.   Evidently, this does not speak of his strong points.

but let me just start, the polls are crashing. and obama is caught in essentially his third falsehood on this subject. what's your take on this? well, i think that's part of the problem is if you have someone who didn't have executive experience and they let the political shop in the white house run everything. political shops as you know and i know, they have a major impact on policy but they're not the sole force of policy here. i think that's part of the problem. they made a promise that nobody could deliver on. not just in terms of the web side but the overall policy of obama care which is an abysmal failure. it's not only a failure for obama care, but continuing to be a wet blanket on the recovery in the nation's economy. right. anti-growth. but it sort of blows my mind, okay, this guy is a lawyer. i have never had any personal criticism of him. i don't deal in that currency. but my point is he's a well trained lawyer who taught law. he's making the assertions that are blatantly false. does he not think in the able of facebook and electronics this isn't going to come out? it's shocking. i think -- i think people are just as angry at his falsehoods as they are at the breakdown of obama care. i really do. i think it only gets worst, day by day goes by and more of the promises we find out, it's one thing they're wrong and you're told they're wrong and you actually believe that people believe that. but the more we find out that there were business -- as you said, firm after firm telling the white house and the administration it wasn't going to work, it's either one of the things where they're not listening to the facts or they're not being informed. in either case it's rather troubling. no ceo experience whosoever. so you believe, a obama care should be the defining issue in midterm elections? no doubt about it. political issues are most significant when you're telling people something they know to be true. i think regardless of how people originally thought about obama care, overwhelmingly the public realizes this is an abysmal failure. not just the rollout, but the policy itself. i think the longer this goes on, the more democrats are going to run forhe hills. as a governor running for re-election, your third re-election, how do you put obama care into the conversation? how do you work it in? well, in our case it's interesting. the only democrat in the race is trying to make an issue, trying to talk about how they would have taken the expansion, they would have taken the state-run exchanges. i think that might have sounded nice a couple months ago, but as time goes on, i think for those of us who raised question marks about obama care it becomes pretty clear we didn't want to put our state taxpayers at risk. havisaid that, for republicans in state and federal offices as well, we have to be careful that we don't look like we're relishing this. as much as us raised the red flag of concern, i think we need to empathize with many of our fellow citizens who are going to suffer because of these.
