Well, the liberal view is out there, that Ryan’s speech was full of lies.
I don’t see a single lie in what Ryan said.
The liberals are all over him because he was a member of the Simpson-Bowles commission, and how dare he criticize Obama over that, when Ryan voted against the commission recommendations.
Well, it’s a truism, but a fact that, Democrats run against the Republicans. Republicans have to run against both the Democrats and the media.
Who cares if Ryan voted against Simpson - Bowles.... he’s not the president. What would his vote do ?
What Ryan said was 100% accurate. He even gave the title to him of “candidate Obama” and said the speech was given in 2008 during the campaign. Then he said the plant closed and remains closed so the promised recovery has not come. With the introductory context he even went out of his way to say Obama was not responsible for the closure of the plant but was responsible for his empty rhetoric and failure to bring a recovery as the plant remains closed.
Those who are saying Ryan lied are the ones who are lying. Ryan did not lie - and absolutely no credible case can be made that he did.
Ryan voted against the debt commission’s recommendations because it wanted to raise taxes, and then offered his own plan. What plan has Obama offered?
