Obama rips Walker for ‘right to work’ bill

The Hill reports:

President Obama took a shot at a "right to work" bill signed into law Monday by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a likely Republican candidate for president.

In a statement, which does not mention Walker by name, Obama said the "anti-worker law in Wisconsin will weaken, rather than strengthen workers in the new economy."

"Even as its governor claims victory over working Americans, I’d encourage him to try and score a victory for working Americans – by taking meaningful action to raise their wages and offer them the security of paid leave," Obama said.

While Obama expressed opposition to the Walker's legislation, his decision to single out the Wisconsin governor could elevate his profile among Republican primary voters as he moves closer to a presidential bid.

Strongman Obama is a 1930's style economy.
