Mike Allen: White House Would Like Paul Ryan As Speaker
Breitbart ^ | 10/12/15 | Charlie Spiering

Posted on 10/13/2015 11:07:09 AM PDT by AngelesCrestHighway

Politico’s Mike Allen thinks President Barack Obama likes the idea of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) for Speaker. “The White House would like that idea,” Allen said during an interview with Laura Ingraham on her radio show today. “Because they would like one more win … what they’ve always told me is that they admire Paul Ryan for being a substantive, smart guy.” Speaking to business leaders in Washington D.C. last month, Obama acknowledged that his administration was working with Ryan to negotiate some level of tax reform, even though Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) disagreed. “To his credit, Paul Ryan expressed real interest in discussions and negotiations,” Obama said during his remarks to the Business Roundtable Headquarters in September. But the administration’s relationship with Ryan wasn’t always so close, especially after he challenged Obama on health reform during a 2010 public forum.

If Obama likes him, it is all the more reason to oppose him.

If Obama wanted Ryan as speaker, it wouldn’t be smart for him to say it, right?

[ If Obama likes him, it is all the more reason to oppose him. ]

So the logical choice would be to Put Sheriff Joe in as speaker along with a copy of “Speaker of the House for Dummies” book.

I could get behind that!

That alone is enough to make EVERY real American suspicious.

I wanted to believe Paul Ryan was a good and honest figure in American politics. But as a member of the Uniparty, he no longer inspires or even comes across as a voice of “moderation”, let alone still have principle to stand upon.

If you value your eternal soul, Congressman Ryan, do not take this entirely thankless and unrewarding job.

The thankless and unrewarding part of the job would be to continue the status quo. Only by entirely reinventing the duties and purpose of the position, could any honor be restored to the title.

Nancy could stand up there and act as Speaker of the House only because she operates in a world of non sequitur and absolutely no critical thinking. And she already had no soul.

Obama wants another squishy Republican who will “compromise” with him, better known as “caving.” Democrats are never told by the dishonest msm to “compromise” with Republicans.

“White House Would Like Paul Ryan As Speaker”

That means Paul Ryan is not who Conservatives should select.

Increasingly I think Ryan is going to decide he wants no parts of this and just keep his head down.

Of course the republican house listens to the democrat (?) White House on this. It works for the same people they work for.

Since Aneurysm Joe Biden wrapped Ryan around his little finger in the VP debate I’m sure they’d love to deal with a Speaker Ryan. He’d be like a paper fire wall to their plans.
