As Obama visits his state, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker slams him on Twitter

Walker has to be the most classless, backstabbing, childish of all the Republican primary contestants.

As President Obama arrived in Wisconsin on Thursday, Gov. Scott Walker warmly welcomed him with applause, a friendly smile and some laughing banter. Don't be fooled. These two are not as chummy as they briefly appeared.

Walker spent the rest of the day essentially trolling the president on social media. First, he published a column critical of the "president’s big-government policies," and then fired off a series of anti-Obama tweets...

LINK to Washington Post article

Here are a couple of examples of Walker's barrage of immature, dickish, trashy tweets. He's desperate for attention.

Looks like Obama & @TheDemocrats are after me again but recent history shows they're in for a fight -SKW

Mr. President, it’s time for you to bone up on the principle of strong American leadership -SKW

Tweets are worth a look. I found them stunning. Walker is kind of strange:
