|| By FITSNEWS || U.S. president Barack Obama is scheduled to welcome Chinese president Xi Jinping to Washington, D.C. next month … but one “Republican” presidential candidate says our government shouldn’t be rolling out the red carpet.
Wisconsin governor Scott Walker issued a statement this week saying Obama should cancel the visit – for a number of reasons.
“Americans are struggling to cope with the fall in today’s markets driven in part by China’s slowing economy and the fact that they actively manipulate their economy,” Walker said. “Rather than honoring Chinese President Xi Jinping with an official state visit next month, President Obama should focus on holding China accountable over its increasing attempts to undermine U.S. interests.”
Which interests?
“Given China’s massive cyberattacks against America, its militarization of the South China Sea, continued state interference with its economy, and persistent persecution of Christians and human rights activists, President Obama needs to cancel the state visit,” Walker continued. “There’s serious work to be done rather than pomp and circumstance. We need to see some backbone from President Obama on U.S.-China relations.”
Ok, we don’t care about the South China Sea … but Walker has a point when it comes to the cyberattacks. And the currency manipulation. And our guess is he will score big with evangelical voters in early-voting Iowa and South Carolina with his reference to the persecution of Christians.
Well-played, Walker. Well-played …

Is this guy still running? Last time I checked his only supporter is Tango.
Wow…then he has one more supporter than Hillary….Hahahahaha.
And Biden is your bench…Hahahahahaha..What a mess. (:
“If [the Democratic nominee] is Joe Biden, how do you match up against Joe Biden?” asked Hewitt.
“I think I’d match up great,” Trump responded. “I’m a job producer. I’ve had a great record. I haven’t been involved in plagiarism. I think I would match up very well against Biden.”
Then-Senator Biden was accused of plagiarism during his 1988 presidential campaign. After barely weathering a scandal when he used a speech line originally written by the leader of Britain’s Labor Party without attribution, Biden dropped out of the race after it was discovered that he also faced plagiarism allegations at Syracuse Law.”

A brain injured pervert that swims naked in front of female Secret Service agents in an effort to humiliate women.
Hey, they like the snake, what can we say.
“brain injured pervert” best description I have seen of Biden. LOL
Now Obama has to go out and buy his own rice for dinner.
I had a bitter bit of a chuckle when I heard a news report of Obama “going back to work”. The reporter said no more cycling, golf and EATING OUT! I’m sorry but living in the White House is kinda like eating out everyday isn’t it? I don’t believe that Moochelle bullshit for a minute.
It’s a tough job, someone has to look like they are working in the White House, so they can take that time off for vacations and golf.
If you check his achievements, you would swear no one has been working in the White House. Watch the hate mail roll in.
Be fair, he has taken time out of his day to screw up quite a few things. It isn’t easy to change the course of 232 years in only 8.
That’s a fair point.
You have underestimated Obama’s achievements, sir. Destroying The United States of America has been a full time job-even while on vacation.
Well, except for that 5.3% unemployment, the millions and millions of people who now have health insurance, your own policy changes for no annual and life-time caps (remember your GOP friends wanted to have caps in place), can’t be denied for pre-existing conditions, continued increase in manufacturing jobs, killing Bin Laden and getting all of the troops out of Iraq, but yeah, I guess.
100 million people not working,40 million on food stamps, insurance premiums and deductibles so high nobody can use their insurance (only growth in insurance is Medicaid).created ISIS by abandoning Iraq, and Libya and other countries and gives Iran nukes to destroy Israel.Shutting down coal plants, Gas prices LOW because economy is bad (Obama said this).
His biggest accomplishments in his goal of destroying America is dividing Americans among racial lines. Race relations have never been worse and the inner cities are on fire with crime.Also by issuing illegal E/O’s on immigration he ruined ANY chance of amnesty for illegals.
No Flip, that’s 100 million people not needing to work, up from 95 million in 2006. Why did Bush force 95 million people out of jobs?
Walker is so stupid. I can see why he appeals to republican voters. He’s just not racist enough.
Biden is:
Jan. 31, 2007: “You got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” – Biden, on Obama.
June 17, 2006: “You cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.” – Biden, then a U.S. senator, made this gaffe while attempting to praiseDelaware’s Indian-American population.
And you voted for Nikki, 2 times. Your point ?
I did? Have you NO honor?
Oh, Ohio. OK – you voted for Romney two times. Your point?
Romney ran 2x? Say what you want about Romney.He loves America UNLIKE the ‘closet’ Radical Islamic Muslim,with a marxist world view, occupying the wHite House.
He no buy his own rice you dumb American! That’s why you pay taxes! To make us rich!
He needs some rice on them bones. I have never seen ANYBODY allegedly stop smoking-and lose weight.
Crack pipe does that.

Why cancel, China is paying for it. They have to, Obama has broken us, and surrendered to them all of our (and your children’s) money.
As much as I detest the Bamster, trust me, ask anyone, I do, the W and all those “R” s in Congress who have spent like drunken sailors since 2000 deserve equal billing for wasting that money. Other than social issues, I can’t see a nickel’s difference between the parties. That is why the outsiders are capturing so much attention.
Yes, It seems that there gets to be less of a choice each election cycle. I am like you, social issues is the only thing that distinguishes the otherwise indistinguishables.
I don’t know. Not ONE republican voted or Obamacare?
That was nothing more than a social issue, income transfer.
Hmmm…could be looked at that way and the insurance companies are the ones getting rich…good point
Lindsey? Not that I’d call himva “Republican”.
Sir, I was just joking about your ‘up votes’. You always play it straight and I appreciate that, whether I agree or not.This forum would be no fun if we all agreed on everything.Thanks for commenting even when you have to take me to the woodshed. :)
Iraq did that
A lie.
Very true.Thank you.
I’m stupid, but not so stupid to know our government manipulates our economy.
Thanks Private Pyle.
UHH-RAA
So, You you are finally admitting Obama has fucked us up into near-Depression era levels.
Thanks. Before you said the government had no control over it…when we mentioned the $9 Trillion Obama has pissed down the drain.
Your still paying for Iraq, get used to it.
Hey, President Frank Underwood hosted the Russian president even though they didn’t agree on everything.
What an ignorant ass.
Who? ….Hillary, Biden Gore or Obama?
Ha ha ha
Well played?
This clown is going NOWHERE Fits.
He flip flops all over the place and has no idea why hes even running except to do the Kochs bidding.
Hell tomorrow he might say something entirely different!
Well played?Good God!
You’re talking about bringing AlGore back, because Hillary is so incompetent, you ignorant Dumbass. How fucked up is that?
FITSNews is playing a distraction game. The Democrats are ripping apart at the seams with Hillary, Biden and Warren and Sanders.
And Democrat media is desperate to try any bullshit they can to take out any Republican.
FITSNews wants Walker out, just like FITSNews wants Cruz, Carson and Trump out.
If there is NO ONE there to beat Hillary, that’s the only way she can win. It’s the Obama strategy.
I don’t care to talk about any Republican more than a year out, except to talk about the Democrats they have defeated. . And I want to talk about the total disaster the Democrats have made of my country.
That’s the last thing the media or FITSNews wants to talk about.
No worries my friend. Bush is the ONLY one that defeats the Republicans in 2016 if nominee.
I have us losing 2 senate seats. We do pick up Reid’s seat in Nevada.
“Ok, we don’t care about the South China Sea …”
…because as Big-L Libertarians we like to pretend that if we close our eyes really tightly and wish hard enough, everyone in the world will just behave. No crazy-ass country would ever develop nukes after openly stating their intention to “wipe Israel from the face of the Earth.” No crazy-ass country would disrupt the flow of oil to the West. No crazy-ass country would ever annex some other country. No crazy-ass country would ever keep annexing other countries and end up starting some big war, right? We shouldn’t go to war (obviously) over every indiscretion, but say that one doesn’t even “care” about it indicates a dangerous level of naivete. Just roll up those gates, right? No worries…the world will look out for our best interests.
Statements like that are where I part ways with the Liberaltarians. If the US doesn’t step up to the plate and take charge, who will ? Russia ? China ? I don’t like the idea of being the world’s policeman any more than anyone else, but I ask again, Who would you rather have do it ? And don’t come up with the UN. It is nothing more than a cabal of puny dictators . If we quit funding it, which I think we should, it would be gone in five years tops. The Obummer administration is living proof that when the cat is away, the mice will play. Someone has to lead, and not from the rear.
We haven’t won a war since WW2, and we mopped up that affair in far less time than the ongoing life and money drain in our various theater’s around the world.
This “leadership” you crave for the world is non-nonsensical and much of world doesn’t want it, aside from the loss of life and money that we don’t have.
The whole reason ww2 went like it did is because we stayed out of it until all the parties involved spent most of their resources.
Yes, sir. I like a lot of the “small-L” libertarian stuff, just not the crazed isolationism (and some of the “core function of government” crap gets old too – we do have a responsibility to take care of the weak; it’s in the social contract).
There’s a spot somewhere between “bully-ass world cop” and “pussy-ass hiding from the world” where we could coexist with the world because the big stick exists, not because we swing it all of the time.
“No crazy-ass country would ever develop nukes after openly stating their intention to “wipe Israel from the face of the Earth.”
They have also claimed their religion forbids the use/development of nukes as weapons, also but more importantly that quote you cite is probably an often repeated mis-translation:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/did-ahmadinejad-really-say-israel-should-be-wiped-off-the-map/2011/10/04/gIQABJIKML_blog.html
“No crazy-ass country would disrupt the flow of oil to the West.”
They want the money for it, it’s why OPEC can’t really enforce long term embargo’s- google “OPEC cheating”
Aside from that, the US gov’t don’t have a right to take other people’s oil forcibly.
“No worries…the world will look out for our best interests.”
It’s simply in our best interests to stay out of the affairs of others. You obviously disagree- but I suppose a trillion dollars and tens of thousands of mutilated vets in Iraq, wasn’t enough to demonstrate that, or Vietnam, or Korea, or Somalia, or Libya, or..or…or….
And for what? Nothing, even worse than nothing actually…the US gov’t has made each area worse off in it’s own special way despite the loss of life and money.
People play “Born in the USA” at the Fourth of July and don’t even hear the lyrics, nope, just another great patriotic song about how awesome America is.
Whoa, baby…relax. You’re projecting some shit here… ;-)
The “wipe Israel” thing was just a generic swipe at the radical Muslim world; Iran is (by far) not the only player in that game, and far worse things have been said by people in power in a couple of those shitholes other than the single quote that Ahmadinejad may or may not have *exactly* said.
Keeping oil flows steady doesn’t equate to stealing it; keeping markets free and open benefits everyone.
The trillion dollars / mutilated vets thing is yet another reach – I am pretty sure I didn’t say anything about going to war. there are options, you know, short of military force, but to employ most of those options a nation has to be engaged and “in the game.” That’s all I was saying. As is the case in most things, everything isn’t an “either-or” situation. Lots of options…
Yeah, let’s snub the second largest economy in the world, a country that helps us deal with North Korea, the fastest and largest Asian economy. Because hey, being assholes – that’s what GOPPERS do. Could you image George W, or George HW doing that. Of course not. The GOP has truly become the party of STUPID jerkoffs who want to deport American citizen children, snub one of our closest trading parnters (Mexico), alienate the leading Asian economy, waive their peckers at Canada, send 140,000 American troops back into Iraq, think they can sieze the Iraqi oil (which we couldn’t do last time), nuke Iran and send Indian doctors back to Toronto. I think the way to win in 2016 – just let them deomonstrate how extreme and dangerous they are.
Walker is a wannabe douche. Maybe if China were building sports stadiums he would be all for the dinner?
How diplomatic. Such comments reveal Walker’s readiness to be the diplomatic and foreign policy face of America and the free world. Scott: What plays well while pandering to goobers in Palookaville doesn’t do so on the world stage. Grow up!
Check back with Walker tomorrow, his position may change.
