Scott Walkers Phony "Appreciation" of State Workers Clashes with Reality

I'm surprised that he could say these words without choking:

Governor Scott Walker statement for Employee Recognition Day from Governor Scott Walker on Vimeo.

While the words did come out of his mouth, there were obvious smirks throughout the video as if he was saying "Yeah, I'm the guy that screwed you and I'll keep on screwing you.  I'm just saying these things for the low information Wisconsin peasants so they'll keep thinking I'm a good guy".

Comments were disabled under the Vimeo video likely because the You Tube version (I can't find that now) were bombed with snide comments, a dozen "likes" and hundreds of dislikes.

There's no official transcript, so I've created one for those who can't "enjoy" the video (or can't stomach the idea of watching it):

Hi, Scott Walker here.

Thank you for the good work you do for the State of Wisconsin.

Through the years I've met some amazing people who do incredible jobs for our State Government.

From the law enforcement professionals who keep us safe to the staff who help us place more people with disabilities into the workplace in our communities.  From the team who made state government spending transparent and online to the pros who ensure that families have access to health care.  From the crews who build and maintain our transportation infrastructure to those who work to manage our natural resources.  From those who help licensed professionals to those who promote economic development and housing and agriculture and tourism.  From those who take care of our veterans to those who continue to serve today in our Wisconsin National Guard.  

To all of our state employees we say thank you.  We appreciate your hard work.

Of course, commentary on the Vimeo video have been disabled.  You didn't really expect Walker or his cronies to want comments, did you?

After watching that video I feel like I've been slimed by a con artist.

THIS is what Scott Walker really thinks about public employees (from his reading for the audio version of his book):

Yes, this is the same Scott Walker who, after he was elected in 2010, insisted that the State Legislature not approve the new contract for state employees so that he could "negotiate" a new contract with them himself.  They didn't approve the contract and, instead of negotiating a new contract, Walker "dropped the bomb" on ALL public employees in the state except for the unions that endorsed him (wow, what a coincidence!).
