This is the president I voted for:
"When Paul Ryan says his priority is to make sure, he's just being America's accountant ... This is the same guy that voted for two wars that were unpaid for, voted for the Bush tax cuts that were unpaid for, voted for the prescription drug bill that cost as much as my health care bill -- but wasn't paid for," Mr. Obama told his supporters. "So it's not on the level."
The president is absolutely correct to call out Republican hypocrisy. The only problem I have with this is he shouldn't just be doing it behind closed doors in what he thinks are private talks with donors. He should be saying this every day to the press corp and at every public venue he can. It's the truth. It should be repeated as often as possible. Paul Ryan and his Republican Party never once voted for one single program that was funded, paid for or offset. And now they want everyone to believe they are concerned about the deficit and government spending. They are frauds in every sense of the word. How they aren't laughed off the national stage is a lesson in just how unserious the MSM has become and the depths to which the GOP wants everyone to sink.
