Another Walker Propane fiasco a failure of Leadership!!!

Did we not see something like this coming? Another problem not fixed by strong rhetoric, by a leader too focused on his own out-of-whack ambitions. 

WKOW: Walker declares energy emergency because of propane problem: Gov. Scott Walker has declared a precautionary energy emergency because of service interruptions on a key propane pipeline.

Intermittent interruptions are affecting the Mid-America East Blue Pipeline at the Janesville terminal. Walker says in a statement that early indications are the supply problem will be short-lived.

The main effect of the order is relaxing rules on hours for motor carriers and truckers who transport propane in case they need to travel to other terminals.

Relaxing the rules on truckers hours...transporting explosive propane?

Walker's condescending letter to the President. Propane shortage just an excuse to look presidential.

The free market lobbyists for the propane industry are raking in huge profits shipping supplies overseas, while taxpayers come to the rescue of homeowners hit with propane shortages. We pay again.

Sen. Tammy Baldwin's  been all over this:

Senator Tammy Baldwin today continued to push the Obama Administration for action on the propane crisis in Wisconsin. Last week, in light of the fact that propane exports increased by 120,000 a day while Wisconsin faced a supply shortfall, Baldwin called on President Obama to moderate exports to ensure consumers have the fuel they need to keep warm through the winter.

Our tiny little dictator, Scott Walker is also chiming in, telling the president what he would do. In the following transparent attempt to look presidential, Scott Walker looked even more desperate. WKOW:



Dumb Ron Johnson's typical detached response?
