Former POTUS with Paul Ryan. If these two can speak about Medicare seriously, what is the problem?
ABC News was behind the scenes with the Wisconsin Congressman and GOP Budget Committee Chairman when he got some words of encouragement none other than former President Bill Clinton.
“So anyway, I told them before you got here, I said I’m glad we won this race in New York,” Clinton told Ryan, when the two met backstage at a forum on the national debt held by the Pete Peterson Foundation. But he added, “I hope Democrats don’t use this as an excuse to do nothing.”
Ryan told Clinton he fears that now nothing will get done in Washington.
“My guess is it’s going to sink into paralysis is what’s going to happen. And you know the math. It’s just, I mean, we knew we were putting ourselves out there. You gotta start this. You gotta get out there. You gotta get this thing moving,” Ryan said.
Clinton told Ryan that if he ever wanted to talk about it, he should “give me a call.” Ryan said he would.
If Paul Ryan passes WJC’s smell test, then I’m fine with him as VPOTUS.

I don’t care if he’s Hitler’s alter ego – I just want to gaze into his eyes for the next 8 years (and then another 8 as President.)

Hitler’s ego, eh? I don’t think so. I want to see that ObamaCrapCare in the trash asap.

Conservative radio man Michael Savage ranting that the msm will detroy GOP chances because Ryan is just another rich white guy. Ter msm propaganda is the same argument Fox’s O’Reilly used to keep Sarah Palin off the ticket: “Give in to Pravda or die.”
Intimidation from left and right.

The MSM has already done enough damage to this country. I do hope that people will look at facts on how Romney acted as a governor.
