First Obama Response to Paul Ryan Pick: ‘Radical’ & ‘Extreme’ — Quotes the New York Times
The Blaze ^ | August. 11, 2012 | Benny Johnson

Posted on 08/11/2012 9:36:20 AM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

The first message to supporters from President Barack Obama‘s campaign following Mitt Romney’s announcement of Paul Ryan as his running mate was tepid at best.

Jim Messina, Obama’s campaign manager, framed Ryan as a purveyor of “failed policies“ who would ”slash the investments we need” in the economy. The Obama team attacked the Wisconsin congressman and House Budget Committee chairman as “radical” and “extreme” by quoting the New York Times.

The campaign then asked supporters to stand with the president “at another major moment” and solicited donations:

LOL. Yea, 0bama, you're so predictable. You would have used the same words, radical and extreme, even if it was anyone else as well - Portman, Christie, Pawlenty, hell even if it was Lady Lindsay.

It's all you got, which is NOTHING.

First Obama Response to Paul Ryan Pick: ‘Radical’ & ‘Extreme’

Projection of biblical proportion from the jug-eared moron camp.

They would’ve said that if he had picked Pawlenty, Branstad or even The Green Iguana. It’s what they do.

To a totally indoctrinated Marxist-Leninist, even a liberal is extreme.

Well, Ryan actually understands basic economics and basic arithmetic - I suppose in Obama's world that qualifies as 'radical' and 'extreme'.

Running up more debt than all previous presidents combined in less than four years and assuming dictatorial powers — sane, normal, nothing unusual
Fiscal sanity and Constitutional limits on out of control tyrannical Fedzilla - radical and extreme

Barry probably had a flash-back of his shabby treatment of Paul Ryan, when he invited Ryan to one of his meaningless speeches on how he was going to fix the debt crisis. W

With Ryan prominently seated, Barry attacked him and his budget plan in front of the press and Democrat audience who gobbled up this “dissing” of Ryan by the thug from Chicago.

I’ll bet he thought of that moment today. When he thought he was so clever...and he never is.

Extolling the virtues of freedom and liberty are indeed radical to a third-world thinker and communist.

The battle lines have been drawn: It’s government, government employees, and government beneficiaries against the people who sacrifice their blood sweat and tears to bear the burden of those who would enslave us.

The business leaders and private sector employees deserve the thanks of a grateful nation for taking us this far. I hope they can hang on long enough to drive a powerful economic and innovation recovery after this vermin is swept from power.

radical and extreme

I see that as his perspective based on where HE stands on the political spectrum. Obama is standing on the very tip of far, far, far left. People in the middle would appear "radical and extreme" to him. Just say no to Obamunism!!!

More rope-a-dope. Obama’s campaign will punch themselves out silly going after Ryan.

I love it! They are in a panic. They thought Romney would pick a marshmallow for VP.

Speaking of "extreme," I invite you to consider this sentence from an otherwise wrong-headed prof. Said prof is on the pampered-pet side of politics, so he's not as brave as he sounds, but this part of his closer might be worth adapting:
To dismiss such sound policies as extreme in the face of the repeatedly demonstrated failure and fraud of our current financial system is quite absurd.

[From here]

Now I'm certainly not suggesting that Rep. Ryan imitate Plugs, but that spunk would go well with Ryan's courage.

Finally!!! A Republican spokesman who can articulate and connect principles essential to individual freedom with "issues" of the day which undermine and destroy freedom.

Not since Ronald Reagan have we had such a candidate on the ticket.

If American liberty, as protected by our written Constitution, is to survive for our children and future generations, then the freedom-destroying ideas of Obama must be stopped now.

That Romney chose a VP candidate who is qualified to articulate the founding principles may be the best thing he has going for him.

What I like the most about a Ryan selection, is that now every minute Obama is calling Romney a felon, a tax cheat without and source, or a time traveling Murderer, is a minute Ryan will be addressing America's fiscal path back to prosperity. That's BIG trouble for Obama for two reasons. Poll's show two opinions the majority of Americans hold. 1. The Country is on the wrong track, and 2. Nobody believes they are better off now than 4 years ago.

Panic time for Obama started when he let slip his view of America - “You didn’t do that.”

Don’t know how many of you ever did an insect collection, but the spectacle of a bug skewered on a pin is a small scale of what is happening to the Current Occupant of the White Hut.

Of all the people whom Mitt Rpomney could have picked as his running mate, Paul Ryan is probably one of the most vocal and knowledgeable people out there, with an almost choirboy look of innocence and youth, and a sharp intellect behind it. Rick Santorum without all the negatives.

Of course, it won’t take long for the Democrats to invent some kind of negatives. They would fault Jesus Christ hanging from the cross as “not humble enough”, as if any of them even knows what humility means.

I hope this finally persuades the ones who still doubt Mitt would take a bold step in drawing a contrast between himself and that imposter now in the White Hut. Let’s turn it back into the White House, and raise the flag high.

Paul Ryan is a most excellent choice.

R & R need to dub Obama as a “professional rabble-rouser”. Like the imams incite jihadists, so Obama incites the ill-informed and professional victims to rally in support of him. Instead of 72 virgins, Obama promises free stuff to them at the expense of rich, fat-cat “great Satans”. Obama insults his own supporters every time he opens his mouth.
