Scott Walker Fires Back at Obama for Foreign Policy Swipe

President Barack Obama said in an NPR interview released Tuesday that Wisconsin Governor and probable 2016 contender Scott Walker needed to “bone up” on his foreign policy.

The pugnacious Walker was quick to respond:

Americans would be better served by a President who spent more time working with governors & Congress rather than attacking them. – SKW

Walker has threatened to nix any nuclear agreement with Iran upon taking office, regardless of the continued participation of U.S. allies in the deal. That “would be a foolish approach to take,” Obama told NPR’s Steve Inskeep. “And perhaps Mr. Walker, after he has taken some time to bone up on foreign policy, will feel the same way.”

Walker has battled perceptions that he’s a foreign policy neophyte, and has been, in fact, boning up on his foreign policy, meeting with party experts for cram sessions.
