Obama Sends Romney Back Into the Fetal Position With Video on the Ryan Budget

Mitt Romney's Paul Ryan bounce was over before it started as the Obama campaign released a new video hitting the Republican ticket hard on the Ryan budget.
Here's the video:
Obama campaign manager Jim Messina also put out a statement,
In naming Congressman Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney has chosen a leader of the House Republicans who shares his commitment to the flawed theory that new budget-busting tax cuts for the wealthy, while placing greater burdens on the middle class and seniors, will somehow deliver a stronger economy. The architect of the radical Republican House budget, Ryan, like Romney, proposed an additional $250,000 tax cut for millionaires, and deep cuts in education from Head Start to college aid.
His plan also would end Medicare as we know it by turning it into a voucher system, shifting thousands of dollars in health care costs to seniors. As a member of Congress, Ryan rubber-stamped the reckless Bush economic policies that exploded our deficit and crashed our economy. Now the Romney-Ryan ticket would take us back by repeating the same, catastrophic mistakes.
The interesting thing about Romney and Ryan's speeches this morning is that they both tried to avoid talking about what Paul Ryan is famous for. They didn't specifically mention the Ryan budget. They talked about preserving Medicare, while hoping that voters wouldn't realize that they plan to save Medicare by killing it and turning it into a voucher system.
The Obama video and Messina's statement both use Paul Ryan to tie Romney to the unpopular House, the policies of George W. Bush, the war on women, and privatizing Medicare and Social Security. It also reinforces the Obama campaign's messages about Romney's stance on the middle class, and his plan to give tax cuts for the wealthy while raising taxes on everyone else.
Instead of separating their candidate from the very unpopular congressional Republicans, the Romney campaign married them. The Romney campaign gave Democrats a message to deliver to those voters who are concerned about the Republican desire to gut Social Security and Medicare. The Ryan budget might be even more well known than Paul Ryan himself, so it a ridiculous for the Romney campaign to try to run away from the it.
Unbelievably Romney has selected a running who can't talk about what he is most famous for or else he will push Independents, seniors, and everybody but the wealthy towards Obama.

Minority 1% of the richest, that is.
By the way, love the title.
I can't believe there are people stupid enough to vote against their own interests.
They represent the intrinsic weakness of democracy because people are supposed to advance the society, not destroy it.
It is incredible to me that any person who isn't wealthy (or understands the problems) would vote for these class warfare generals... especially considering they have already won, and when the wake of destruction it created is clear for all to see. Giving more to those that already have it has helped nothing, ever.

There are people that support Ryan's ideas, are there enough of those people in order to win the election? Ryan picked as VP candidate wasn't just some whim, I don't see Romney working like that. Ryan will have a distinct purpose or Romney wouldn't have picked him.
His campaign is spinning down the drain, even among hard-core Republicans, as he has offended so many large groups - evangelicals, females, unemployed, the poor, elderly, students, handicapped, and more. The only groups he has attempted to attract are military, Reagan Bankers, and the "Top 2% Club". By bringing Ryan's budget on board he
offends more, the elderly, SS and Medicare beneficiaries, all of America's middle class working taxpayers, and the entire educational processes, including administrators and teachers at every level. What in the world is he thinking?
Quit educating them.......lol
candidate and at the convention will step aside and let Ryan be nominated? Yes,
that sounds like a desperate plan for the Reagan Banks and Wall Street to spring
a surprise on the twenty factions of the Republican Party that would be helpless
to prevent the spin from happening. Romney could then hope to become the Secretary of Treasury and be free to move America's banking system and all the loose industries to China and India, outsourcing all the Federal Agency jobs.... all the things he does so well. Good plan, Mitten, good plan.
People have been so brainwashed in this country, and it is just what corporations and the plutocracy want them to believe. Republicans scream about "European style socialism" as if it is evil incarnate. Socialism isn't evil..... it is fair.... to everyone.
Corporations hate Socialism because it would deprive them of power, and the right to essentially do whatever they want. Rip people off, pollute the environment, end all safety nets...... and if they can weaken the government enough, then who can stop them?
Socialism does work very well and it is the best system of government in my opinion.
The various forms by which "sharing" is accomplished by social contracts varies from outright gifts from the stronger, to religious groups sharing the "tithes", to modest Governmental programs, then on to hard core socialism and even to the thing called "Communism" which is really just a military type control mechanism not requiring any particular mechanism of allocating resources. Those who make the silly talky-talk you find here on SH damming "socialism" don't understand the necessity that orderly society finds for means of preventing the stronger from holding the weaker in bondage.
Almost totally, they haven't a clue how they are chained to serfdom by the Reagan Banks, corporations, and the programs called "Reaganomics" and "conservative agenda" which empowers the very wealthy to further pillage the 98% who are of lesser means and without power to control their own destiny. Those form the "grassroots" of the Republican Party, seduced by other diversions such as religion, abortion, gay rights, guns, fears of this and that.
I could not have said it any better myself.
But there is really nothing that can be done with these people. I spoke with someone today that said Obama fits the description of the anti-christ.
I know that Obama's race is the major factor of the intense invectives that come from the right. On Soda Head I have met only 2 Republicans that admitted that Obmas' race was a problem. One of them.....was a woman from Alaska, and she said "We just don't like darkies in the White House"
Obama haters try to hide it and cover it up with anything, and so we have the birthers, he is a Muslim, he is a socialist, communist , terrorist, he hates America... yadda yadda yadda.
I used to like Donald Trump. Then he went after the birth certificate crap, and 5 minutes after it was announced that Obama produced his long form birth certificate, he announced that now he wants to see Obamas college records. Now, the hopelessly gullible elephants on here demand his college records.
It is not FOX "News" or the crazy websites that pour lies down their throats from hour to hour that is at fault. Thinking people would know that they were being lied to. It...

It is their own racism, and they know it.....they just do not want to say publically "N-----rs do not belong in the White House" And so any accusation they can make, regardless of how stupid ...is all they have.
I can tell you I never knew that such racial hatred still existed. But it is there for sure.
persons, that they can't escape the outpouring of their bigotry no matter if they try. The Party controllers and propagandists know well this human
weakness and motivation and they play on it in many ways, using all the
means you describe and more.
I LOVE the "Halloween" esque music during the ad. Brilliant.
