Isn’t it time [BO}] assume responsibility??

Get hin, Paul!!

[rodguy911]

Unbelievable, so many stations now on satellite,no humans there.

[Jane Long]

After four years, isn't it about time Obie started assuming responsibility?

Love it!!

[Ladysmith]

LOL

[tina07]

Telling it like it is, awesome speech Paul Ryan!!!

STOP THE SPENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skr]

Ryan has a natural-looking style. He doesn’t seem at all uncomfortable with speaking.

[madison10]

Yes!!! We need to act like grown-ups.

[Miss Didi]

Betty sure is proud tonight. :)

[exit82]

“We need to stop spending money we don’t have.”

[defconw]

Hope it does!

[rodguy911]

Ryan was awesome catch you guys tomorrow.

[GlockThe Vote]

Ryan is fantastic.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Paybacks are hell.

[Ladysmith]

That’s the look of Conviction.

[Miss Didi]

His eyes sure are dreamy...even when he talks math.

[bigbob]

I knew he’d be good the instant they started saying he wouldn’t be.

Now I think we understand better how the previous speakers have not taken it to Obama quite as much. After all, they’re not on the ballot, here’s the guy who is, and he’s laying it out for the people, chapter and verse. And pulling no punches when it comes to Obama.

The adults are back in charge! Even at this convention.

[Not gonna take it anymore]

Are you kidding me? Did you miss her speech?

She mentioned them all the time.

[onyx]

I DO TOO!

[Clint N. Suhks]

He could do better.

[Girlene]

Ryan - We need to stop spending money we don’t HAVE....it really is that simple.

Ryan - we really dont’ have that much time...but we can do this.
