Paul Ryan Challenges Obama to Debate: “You Pick When and Where?”

Conservative star Paul Ryan challenged Obama to a debate today:
“You pick when and where?”

Fat Chance–
Obama will never agree to debate Rep. Paul Ryan. Obama has no answers.
He only knows how to spend.

Barack Obama increased the national debt by over $3 trillion in just over 2 years.
Obama tripled the deficit in one year with his failed stimulus plan.

The Obama deficit this year may reach $1.65 trillion. (The Captain’s Comments)

Barack Obama and Democrats also added over One Trillion Dollars to the Federal Budget in the last 4 years.

That’s at least a 30% increase in federal spending in just 3 years.

Obama has no intention of cutting spending.
He only knows how to spend.

Being the pussy and the putz obama is, he will decline. It would be “beneath” him to have to debate a lowly congressman. He MIGHT appoint a committee to “study” the proposition but it is unlikely IMHO he will accept the invitation.

“He only knows how to spend TAXPAYER MONEY”

that’s better.

No one will get M.T. Suit in a 1:1 debate, he’s clueless and inept when speaking extemporaneously. Actually that pretty well sums him up.

Multitude commented:

Obama will certainly decline, but I have it (on good authority) that the Teleprompter Of the United States just accepted the challenge.

Should be a good debate!

Befuddled has a great idea: Let’s get Ryan to show up and have a debate against the ideas of Obama and the left even if he doesn’t show up which we know he won’t. It will prove the point even more that these people on the left care nothing about an open and honest discussion.

I hear that the duplicitous Boehner has been having “secret talks” with Emperor Barry. Boehner needs to be removed and replaced with Ryan, the real GOP adult.

RedBeard commented:

Ryan is literate, informed, grounded in fiscal reality, and able to form his thoughts into actual words so they make sense.

Obama is a socialist true believer, an economic illiterate, ignorant of reality, and a hopeless fumblemouth who needs to be worked like a ventriloquist’s dummy.

Gee, I can’t understand why The One won’t debate Ryan.

While I love Ryan’s response, I love even more that many Congressional Repubs are posting questions, and BO’s base is showing just how ticked off – and off their rockers – they are. Another great idea from this White House.

ht Rush Limbaugh..

Barbara Boxer’s blatant rewriting of history

[Boxer’s staff suggests her floor statement should be read in the context of Republicans coming to floor this week and lecturing Democrats about the tide of deficits, without acknowledging their own role in promoting tax cuts, higher military spending and other programs that have helped erode the nation’s fiscal standing. Fair enough.

But one alternative history does not give license to invent another one. When we started examining this question, we thought Boxer’s comment might be worth a couple of Pinocchios. But the more we dug, the more we decided that her comments had begun to cross a line, especially since she had been an active member of the Budget Committee during the 1990s.

Boxer literally wipes away any Republican contribution to the process — and also claims credit for creating 23 million jobs while ignoring broad historical changes in the U.S. economy that had little to do with inside-the-Beltway sausage-making. This is more than just spin; it is a rewriting of history that borders on the absurd.]

Looks like Mr. Obama is going to twist this to his liking.

Fourteenth Amendment

Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

obama, like a spoiled child, is only capable of demanding his way. He has a natural bent to be a dictator in the style of Castro. obama has no courage to work with anyone to improve America. Debating or negotiating will expose him as the intellectual flea he is. Only the the media has given the impression the idiot has any thought process at all.

Republicans should be demanding to see a sound budget from the president BEFORE they would even consider raising the debt ceiling!

Heck if Malia and Sasha can get their homework done a day before it is due, surely daddy can too!

Bring the conversation back to Obama’s failure to lead!

I think the GOp in thge House should adopt bill clinton’s budget from ’93. Sent back once then revamped and passes both Houses. Had donk and GOP votes. He is the most beloved President and the 1st black one. Lets hold up that budget as a paradigm. Partic his 228 billion dollar deficit. Then let the donks tear it apart. Face it aside from Illegals and older infrastructure,the country had not changed that much. The World has.. If wrong then lets add 25% to the whole thing to cover errors. Then why isn’t the clintoon budget good enough? and let his donk buddies tear it apart and tear him apart.

Brave Sir Barak ran away.
Bravely ran away, away.
When danger reared its ugly head,
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, Brave Sir Barak turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely taking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave Sir Barak
Petrified of being dead
Soiled his pants then brave Sir Barak
Turned away and fled

I remember during that 6 hour health care summit that obama had with the repubs and Ryan sat there and very calmly eviscerated obama’s whole arguememnt. Obama was looking at Ryan the same way he looked at Bibi when Bibi schooled him. he aint going anywhere near a debate with Ryan, nope never going to happen, but he’ll take cheap shots at him whenenver Ryan ca’nt defend himself, he’s done it once already has’nt he?

Estragon commented:

Obama won’t “debate” ANYBODY because he would exposed as an ignorant poseur, a glib talker who can con the stupid with ease, but has no substance to him.

Obama needs his 3-4 legacy media hacks there to make sure the questions are irrelevant, phrased to give him a direct intro to his talking points, and waste enough time to ensure nothing substantive is discussed. He can easily memorize a series of two-minute “answers” which say nothing, evade responsibility for his failures, and attempt to change the subject.

INSTEAD, Republicans should INSIST on no moderators or questioners, just a timekeeper. Make it a real debate. If it’s two hours, each candidate gets one hour. First to talk is by coin flip. If he wants to talk for an hour, that’s his choice – but then the opponent gets the whole second hour. When finished, he presses a button which stops his time counting down from one hour and starts the opponent’s clock. There might need to be a 10 minute limit on individual segments just to keep the audience from going to sleep, though.

You can use your time for anything, bring up any issue, make any statement, ask any question. But the opponent has the same choices and can choose to ignore everything you say if he wishes – let the viewers decide.

Without the cover of friendly media idiots to help him, Obama will swiftly be exposed as the empty suit he is.

If we continue to play by the stupid media rules, we will always be at a disadvantage. Hold their feet to the fire now, and demand that real issues be discussed without media filters and silly questions.
