Looking at Romney-Ryan

Political Wire   "I believe my record of getting things done in Congress will be a very helpful complement to Governor Romney's executive and private sector success outside Washington. I have worked closely with Republicans as well as Democrats to advance an agenda of economic growth, fiscal discipline, and job creation."
-- Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), in excerpts of a speech accepting Mitt Romney's offer to be his vice presidential running mate.

Schakowsky* vs. Paul Ryan on CNBC  (Video)
* Called a Marxist by The Astute Bloggers  " Schakowsky claimed every dollar of unemployment insurance creates a $1.63 in growth.

"Schakowsky's talking about debt, blames Bush. Says we need jobs."

Goldberg: The Pros and Cons of the Ryan Pick  "What does this do to Paul Ryan? One of the things about the man that garners so much support and admiration is that he resists the corrupting forces of politics. Playing at this level will be a test for him."

Andrew McCarthy discusses Paul Ryan and the Muslim Brotherhood  ...."In particular, I was contrasting the difference between the way he treated the guests he famously took pains to invite to two of his speeches: Paul Ryan and the Muslim Brotherhood."

"More interesting than the speech, though, was the guest list. The Obama administration made a point of inviting prominent members of the Muslim Brotherhood. And they didn’t get the Paul Ryan treatment.... The ramifications rumbled through both Egypt and the United States."

And this guy Obama has high likability numbers? Must be because the TV networks like him and promote Obama in many shows, in ways some subtle and some not.
