“Biden is the drunk at the bar; Martha is the unhappy bartender, and Ryan is the unfortunate salesman caught in the middle.” ~ Greg Gutfeld
In the last post, I didn't mention much about the constant interruptions of Ryan by Smiles Biden, as well as the regime-friendly moderator, Martha Raddatz (more on that relationship here), both of whom, as Twitchy heartily points out, "forgot their manners." I thought that annoyance was fairly obvious. Nonetheless, when Ryan was permitted to make his point, he effectively did so...starting with Benghazi...
"What we are watching on our tv screens is the unraveling of the Obama foreign policy."
...then moving into the economy and the abysmal failure of the Obama administration's so-called 'recovery' (despite how funny Smiles thinks it is...which was slowly wiped away in this exchange)...
"Look at where we are. The economy is barely limping along; it's growing at 1.3%. That's slower than it grew last year, and last year was slower than the year before. Job growth was slower than it was in August, and slower than it was in July. We're heading in the wrong direction: 23 million Americans are struggling for work today. 15% of Americans are living in poverty today. This is not what a real recovery looks like."
...and then finally in his excellent closing statement:
"At a time when we have a jobs crisis in America, wouldn't it be nice to have a job creator in the White House? The choice is clear: a stagnant economy that promotes more government dependency, OR a dynamic growing economy that promotes opportunity and jobs. Mitt Romney and I will not duck the tough issues, and we will not blame others for the next four years. We will take responsibility. And we will not try to replace our founding principles, we will reapply our founding principles."
It was nice to see that there was at least one adult in the room...who happened to be the youngest of the three on the stage.
