As Twitchy reported, President Obama issued a statement Monday night saying he was “deeply disappointed” in Wisconsin’s new right-to-work law. Was it just a temper tantrum on the president’s part, or was there something more to it?
Pres Obama issues statement saying he's "deeply disappointed" by right-to-work law signed today in Wisconsin by Gov Scott Walker.

@markknoller I am deeply disappointed in Obama being "deeply disappointed" in SW. Wisconsin voted, and then voted again. Let it play out.

@markknoller I'm deeply disappointed that he was re elected. He will get over his disappointment.

@markknoller I'm "deeply disappointed" that this country's filled with enough asshats to elect him twice.

It’s well known that President Obama can pick up the phone when he wants to, reaching out personally to Sandra Fluke, Michael Sam and Jason Collins, fox example, while ignoring the families of Chris Kyle and Brian Terry. Similarly, with so many states already having right-to-work laws, why make a big deal out of Gov. Scott Walker adding Wisconsin to the list?

One theory that’s being passed around: maybe Obama and the Democrats are deliberately trying to set up Walker as the GOP nominee.
The White House is likely not elevating Scott Walker like this by accident…24 other states have right-to-work laws. This is all 2016.

The WH does little w/out good polling. Something tells me Dems might want to face Walker. Time to build him up

@coshoct ..or maybe not. I just find it curious. Perhaps too curious.

Weird to see WH email out a snippy, two paragraph statement about WI RTW law. Is Obama on Walker's payroll? #wiright pic.twitter.com/0upaSJE0Ep

This doesn't count as an in-kind primary season contribution from President Obama to Scott Walker, does it? pic.twitter.com/uvz8pXk7uQ

@sinderbrand @DrewMTips Oddly do not recall the President calling on VA, NC or FL to repeal their RTW laws

Obama’s swipe at Scott Walker feeds 2016-hungry media – puts Hillary fiasco in second place

Incredibly odd Obama responded to @scottwalker in a biting presidential message essentially elevating Walker to rival pic.twitter.com/FjLrcpHPyS

@SalenaZitoTrib the word you're looking for is "petty"

@SalenaZitoTrib He's being a community organizer, polarizing groups. @scottwalker @baseballcrank

@irishspy @SalenaZitoTrib @scottwalker @baseballcrank Obama is petty and he divides like no one I've ever seen.

Some good advice to keep in mind:
@SalenaZitoTrib @baseballcrank @ScottWalker With Obama: Never attribute to strategy that which is adequately explained by douchbaggery.
