Barack Obama, our next President

Michelle Malkin said this: "Paul Ryan is Fresh, Young, Energetic, Smart, Courageous, and Ready for Prime Time."
In an August 11th post to National Review Online's The Corner, Jonah Goldberg wrote this: "I am a huge, huge, Paul Ryan fan. So I am delighted by the news he will be Romney's running mate."
It goes on and on, and I could quote everyone at Fox with similar statements about Ryan. Even after almost everyone else on the planet has put out the truth about Ryan. As an example, here are a few quotes about him from Paul Krugman.
From an August 2010 article: One depressing aspect of American politics is the susceptibility of the political and media establishment to charlatans. You might have thought, given past experience, that D.C. insiders would be on their guard against conservatives with grandiose plans.
But no: as long as someone on the right claims to have bold new proposals, he's hailed as an innovative thinker. And nobody checks his arithmetic.
Which brings me to the innovative thinker du jour: Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
Mr. Ryan has become the Republican Party's poster child for new ideas thanks to his "Roadmap for America's Future," a plan for a major overhaul of federal spending and taxes.
News media coverage has been overwhelmingly favorable; on Monday, The Washington Post put a glowing profile of Mr. Ryan on its front page, portraying him as the G.O.P.'s fiscal conscience. He's often described with phrases like "intellectually audacious."
But it's the audacity of dopes. Mr. Ryan isn't offering fresh food for thought; he's serving up leftovers from the 1990s, drenched in flimflam sauce.
Mr. Ryan's plan calls for steep cuts in both spending and taxes. He'd have you believe that the combined effect would be much lower budget deficits, and, according to that Washington Post report, he speaks about deficits "in apocalyptic terms."
And The Post also tells us that his plan would, indeed, sharply reduce the flow of red ink: "The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that Rep. Paul Ryan's plan would cut the budget deficit in half by 2020."
But the budget office has done no such thing. At Mr. Ryan's request, it produced an estimate of the budget effects of his proposed spending cuts -- period. It didn't address the revenue losses from his tax cuts.
The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center has, however, stepped into the breach. Its numbers indicate that the Ryan plan would reduce revenue by almost $4 trillion over the next decade. If you add these revenue losses to the numbers The Post cites, you get a much larger deficit in 2020, roughly $1.3 trillion.
And that's about the same as the budget office's estimate of the 2020 deficit under the Obama administration's plans. That is, Mr. Ryan may speak about the deficit in apocalyptic terms, but even if you believe that his proposed spending cuts are feasible -- which you shouldn't -- the Roadmap wouldn't reduce the deficit. All it would do is cut benefits for the middle class while slashing taxes on the rich.
And I do mean slash. The Tax Policy Center finds that the Ryan plan would cut taxes on the richest 1 percent of the population in half, giving them 117 percent of the plan's total tax cuts. That's not a misprint. Even as it slashed taxes at the top, the plan would raise taxes for 95 percent of the population.
So why have so many in Washington, especially in the news media, been taken in by this flimflam? It's not just inability to do the math, although that's part of it. There's also the unwillingness of self-styled centrists to face up to the realities of the modern

Republican Party; they want to pretend, in the teeth of overwhelming evidence, that there are still people in the G.O.P. making sense.
And last but not least, there's deference to power -- the G.O.P. is a resurgent political force, so one mustn't point out that its intellectual heroes have no clothes.
But they don't. The Ryan plan is a fraud that makes no useful contribution to the debate over America's fiscal future.

Dumbass FloriDUH

That 700 billion was NOT cuts in benefits like the Ryan plan is.

I have a simple question. If you say Obama "Agreed" to cuts in Medicare, who did he agree with?????

Was it REPUBLICANS. Was it the REPUBLICANS pushing for medicare cuts???

In other words, with Romney, Republicans would be able to cut Medicare without worrying about dealing with a Democrat President.

Voting Republican is reducing Medicare.

Thanks for proving that point, FloriDUH.

Maybe Paul Ryan should not have voted yes yes yes under Bush to create the worse recession in 80 years.

Romney still has the tax issue and Ryan seems a boost to democratic voters...just saying

Paul Ryan says Medicare is too expensive. Maybe he should not have votes yes to its UNFUNDED expansion.

This is fun. I'm glad Mitt was dumb enough to pick a guy who helped bring about the Bush.

Ryan, we’re told, is making “the tough choices.” Yes, tough on ordinary people—and easy on the top 1 percent. He’s neither a serious economist nor a genuine intellectual.
