Gov. Scott Walker got another opportunity Wednesday, this time on national television, to address his lack of foreign policy experience as a potential presidential candidate.

He quickly used it to criticize Hillary Clinton.

In response to a foreign policy experience question on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program, Walker said:

“Well, I think the most important thing in foreign policy is leadership. The knock on (President Barack Obama) is not whether or not he had experience. I mean, Hillary Clinton had a lot of experience being the secretary of state, but you look at most of the places where she played a direct hand -- in Russia, in the Middle East, in other places around the world -- and it’s largely messed up right now."

Walker then repeated a point he has made about how he views President Ronald Reagan's firing of the air traffic controllers as an important foreign policy move............
