Walker slams Obama's "failed foreign policy" from Germany

Scott Walker is currently in Germany as part of his 2016 Presidential campaign swing through Europe (he calls it a "trade mission" so the taxpayers foot the bill). Before leaving for this trip, Walker made it clear that this was not a political trip (wink, wink) and there would be no critiques of President Obama or discussion of politics or foreign policy. Well, he broke his promise by criticizing President Obama and U.S. foreign policy from Germany. Does this mean he will now take questions on foreign policy and politics from reporters while in Europe?

You will remember during Scott Walker's first so-called trade mission in London a few weeks ago, he dodged foreign policy questions and criticism of President Obama because he said it wouldn't be polite behavior while in a foreign country...

Well, Walker is on a second, taxpayer-paid 'trade mission,' this time in Germany, where he has unleashed (noticed early Monday) without a second thought a stream of political Tweets that further his presidential quest and directly criticize President Obama.

Sounds like Wisconsin isn't doing that well under his rule.

Condi was a laughing stock and Bush/Cheney warred us into a corner.
