Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) reacted to President Barack Obama's inauguration speech in an interview on "The Laura Ingraham Show" Tuesday, complaining that Obama used a "straw man" argument to purposely misconstrue the Republican position on entitlements.
During his speech, Obama argued that America was "not a nation of takers." That rhetoric of makers and takers, frequently employed by the former Republican vice presidential nominee, came under scrutiny during the 2012 election. Many interpreted Obama's mention of "takers" as pointed criticism of Ryan and his political ideology.
When asked about Obama's comment, Ryan said the president had used rhetoric to muddy the GOP's position on entitlements.
"No one is suggesting that what we call our earned entitlements -- entitlements you pay for, like payroll takes for Medicare and Social Security -- are putting you in a 'taker' category," he said.

They want to take our Social Security, but they can't say that.
They want to cut Medicare, but they can't say that.
They want to cut food stamps, but they can't say that.
They want to cut veteran's benefits, but they can't say that.
They want to close public schools so that they can take our tax dollars for private ones, but they can't say that.
Americans have their number now. So, all THEY have left are lies.

Never mind. Paul Ryan can go fuck himself. I hope he enjoys spending the next four years begging Joe Biden.
