Rebecca's Big Adventure as Lt. Governor...

Imagine being a hard working accomplished business man sitting across the table from Rebecca Kleefisch, our play acting Lt. Governor and believe it or not, our business liaison.  Anything deeper than a well-rehearsed talking point is apparently not expected from the private sector, since business leaders were happy to entertain her blank stare and receptive ear. But does she understand?

"Do I look serious yet..?"

Leader-Telegram: Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch touted the budget during a session at Mason Companies in Chippewa Falls, telling business leaders assembled there the budget includes a mix of tax cuts and job incentives to help businesses grow. “I think what we got in 2011 was a real turnaround CEO in Scott Walker,” Kleefisch said. “We've been able to see the fruits of the tough decisions we've made.”

Don't  laugh. I think she means the low employment numbers and anemic business growth, those "fruits." 

The former puff piece reporter’s strength isn't in her thought provoking exchanges. Kleefisch has perfected the art of sitting...like a lump and listening. How much she retains is anyone’s guess:

Northwestern Bank President Jerry Jacobson credited Kleefisch for listening to business owners’ concerns Monday. “She really spent much of the time listening to us,” Jacobson said.

I’m assuming that wasn't a compliment. If it was, it’s more than what the Walker Authority is doing about citizen concerns, health care, jobs and wages.
