Protesters gather outside Obama event

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker didn't join President Barack Obama at a Milwaukee event, but about 100 Walker protesters still showed up chanting for the Republican governor's recall.

The protesters Wednesday also held signs calling on the president to create more jobs and end the war in Afghanistan.

Obama visited the Master Lock Co. factory, praising the company for bringing back about 100 jobs from overseas.

The protesters stood across the street behind yellow tape. One man called out that 100 local jobs is a good start, but he said the area still needs 99,990 more.

Others chanted, "Recall Walker," and one woman called him a coward for reversing his decision to join Obama at the factory. Walker cited an illness, but did greet him at the airport.
