Obama is in Milwaukee today, appearing at a fundraiser for Tom Barrett.
He's also speaking at ZBB Energy Corp. in Menomonee Falls. He'll be talking about clean energy.
Obama is such a hypocrite when it comes to energy. He'd have a liitle more credibility if he didn't do such irresponsible things like flying the family dog, Bo, on a separate jet to join them on vacation. Why should taxpayers foot the bill for such an extravagance?
What a waste!
Speaking of government waste, Scott Walker has a message for Obama, an ad that will start airing statewide today: "STOP THE TRAIN."
Visit Walker's new website, NoTrain.com.

President Barack Obama: "Make no mistake..."
Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker: "We're trying not to. But you, President Obama, and Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, are trying to spend $810 million to build a high speed train line between Milwaukee and Madison.
Obama: "Now, let me be clear…"
Walker: "No, let me be clear. I'd rather take that money and fix Wisconsin's crumbling roads and bridges."
Obama: "This isn't about me."
Walker: "You're right, it's about Wisconsin's hardworking families who are going to have to pick up the tab. They are going to have to spend up to $10 million a year just to keep a train running they may never ride."
Obama: "It won't happen overnight."
Walker: "Construction for this boondoggle will begin this fall and end in 2013."
Obama: "Change isn't easy..."
Walker: "…but stopping runaway government spending is. I'm Scott Walker, and if I'm elected your next governor, we'll stop this train! Working together, we can help put the government back on the side of the people again."
Obama: "Yes we can!"
Walker: [shrugs]
Walker (voiceover): "Want less government and lower taxes? I'm Scott Walker, and I know how to get the job done. Join us at BrownBagMovement.com.

I like your blog and everything, but your comment about Obama’s dog getting his own jet plane is false: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2010/jul/22/did-obamas-dog-get-his-own-jet-plane/
OK. Bo flew with several staffers on a separate plane.
Instead of that example, we can use the Obama "date night" in New York as an irresponsible waste of jet fuel. I think that one works.
