and that's what you're doing here in wisconsin.o we've got to start by figuring out which skills employers are looking for. then we've got to engage the entire community. we've got to help workers earn the skills they need to do the job that exists. and then we've got to make sure that we're continually following up and upgrading things, because companies are constantly shifting their needs. so what we're going to do is we're going to review all of federal job training programs, soup to nuts. and then we're also going to be supporting local ones. i've asked vice president biden and top officials in the federal government to reach out to governors, mayors, business leaders, labor leaders democratic and republican members of congress -- let's find what programs are working best and let's duplicate them and expand them. and we're going to invest nearly $500 million in the partnerships that show the most potential. so we're putting some real money behind this. now, we know that we've got to start training our younger workers better and

scott walker himself was elected governor in the state of wisconsin. the county executive in milwaukee elected the governor in 2010. so, my view is that in a lot of these sort of blue states that president obama won, states like michigan and new hampshire and minnesota and wisconsin, the democrats are going to be running away from being with the president because this year the president did this on election day 2012, but his job approval today is under water, and democrats don't want to be seen with him. >> we've seen it, as you say, from mark pryor and kay hagan, mark begich also is on that list of people who haven't really wanted to spend a lot of time with the president, but what i want to ask you, karl, is you've been in this position before in the white house, because there was a period when president bush was not somebody that a lot of candidates wanted to be campaigning with. and you know what was his attitude about that? because it seems like presidents say, you know what, i get it. i do care about my party and i want them to win and i'm willin
