Obama-Ryan History One Of Sharp Words On Vision For U.S.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-08-11/obama-ryan-history-one-of-sharp-words-on-vision-for-u-s-.html

President Barack Obama long has had Paul Ryan in his sights.

Obama has spent months critiquing the fiscal plan proposed by the Wisconsin congressman who Republican Mitt Romney yesterday named as his presidential running mate as “radical” and a “prescription for decline.”

The Ryan plan “makes the Contract with America look like the New Deal,” Obama said in an April 3 speech in Washington, referring to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich’s Republican program in Congress the 1990s.

“Disguised as a deficit-reduction plan, it’s really an attempt to impose a radical vision on our country,” Obama said of Ryan’s proposal. “It’s nothing but thinly veiled social Darwinism.”
