Paul Ryan came out swinging Saturday in his new role as Mitt Romney's running mate, accusing President Obama of presiding over a "record of failure" and promising to speak "truth" to America's problems and correct course.
"We can turn this thing around," Ryan vowed, as he and Romney joined for the first time as the official 2012 Republican ticket.
The Wisconsin congressman, to the backdrop of retired battleship USS Wisconsin, gave a feisty opening speech -- setting the tone for the Romney-Ryan bus tour that's next on the agenda, and the race going forward. Dutifully promoting the top of the ticket, Ryan touted Romney as the solution to the economic problems under Obama.
Met with chants of "USA, USA" from a riled-up crowd in Virginia, Ryan spoke broadly about the virtues of free enterprise and specifically about America's economic woes, all laced with pointed attacks on the White House incumbent. Though Ryan's reputation is that of a reserved and wonkish pol, his break-out speech as running mate signaled he'll be playing offense for Romney quite frequently.
Ryan accused the Obama team of being "more worried about their next election than they are about the next generation." He blamed Obama's "misguided policies" for the economic rut the country's been stuck in.
"No one disputes that President Obama inherited a difficult situation. And, in his first two years, with his party in complete control of Washington, he passed nearly every item on his agenda. But that didn't make things better," Ryan said. "In fact, we find ourselves in a nation facing debt, doubt and despair. ...
"Whatever the explanations, whatever the excuses, this is a record of failure."

The WH has already touted that Ryan would help the misguided libs campaign. This is no doubt another example of the lib's whistling in the wind. Now let us see how the current regime can defend their abysmal record. Ryan has the facts and the solutions. The WH? Not so much! We have to be geared up with our support to counter the hideous lies coming out of the current regime. The implication that Romney was responsible for a man's wife's death is low and a huge lie. How much lower can they sink with this type of advertising? I don't think they have bottomed out yet.
Ryan
But in the final analysis -- anyone but Obama.
INDEPENDENTS look far beyond the silliness of obama's attack on Romney's tax records or obama's birth certificate! They are fiscally conservative and worry about our debt! NO better person to address those issues than PAUL RYAN!!! :)
obama is TOAST!
"Raise Havoc, and let slip the dogs of war!"
