-- -- Our next guest says he has more faith in the public than those.
Who see the Ryan picked as a gamble joining us is senior Romney advisor former governor of New Hampshire White House chief of staff.
For president George H.
W.
Bush John -- John good to have you here.
-- -- I I'm not going to ask you how you feel about the papered over take that a somewhat obvious.
Or or what is your reaction to those who were talking about this this man and in terms a death wish ticket.
Suggesting that it is and is that a woman's candidate.
And your thoughts.
Look the liberal media's gonna reinforce whatever Obama wants them to reinforce this is a good pick.
And now we have a ticket on on Romney Ryan package.
That is not only talented but as a backbone to make decisions.
And -- fix things on the other side you've got Obama Biden.
And they're just running to keep that title they haven't done a damn thing in four years and if they get elected this country truly goes down the drain.
And -- Ryan and Romney now out on the campaign trail.
Either together or you know on their own but at least it is as sir Paul Ryan noted -- -- two against to now.
What will be in your judgment Ryan's role primarily.
Look he's out there to talk about.
The economic package the the Rodney planned for for the budget the Romney plan -- Dealing with entitlement repair and saving entitlements.
Look -- -- some folks are saying there's a problem with Medicare with Paul Ryan on the ticket the problem with Medicare.
Is that the president's stole 716.
Billion dollars from it.
The other problem with Medicare is that it goes bankrupt in twelve years and and Obama hasn't even proposed a serious solution to that problem.
The they Romney plan guarantees.
That anybody 55 or -- has no change at all period.
The fact is is that though Medicare has to be fixed.
Particularly for those under 55.
And these guys have the guts to put forward a plan to save it give Obama gets reelected Medicare will go bankrupt and they will.
No longer be Medicare as we know it because there will be no Medicare.
There are issues that we could get -- -- for example there -- Right raising the age of those eligible.
-- four Medicare from 65 to 66 the 672 month to month increments over the period of of a decade but let's not do that.
The because we know that the final plan is going to be.
Somewhat different in but in major force perhaps the very idea that Paul Ryan has put forward.
-- eight are you absolutely confident.
That you're going to be able to keep.
The national media focused on the big issues that obviously governor -- and obviously congressman Ryan.
Want to focus -- Well thank god we've got folks like you and Ed Henry Ed Henry pointed out that today in Iowa the president.
Again -- He he made it sound like Ryan did not vote for bill to save the drought issues.
And in the midwest that are really seriously as you.
But Ryan and the Republicans passed the bill so every time this president opens his mouth.
I think of the line that that came out -- big daddy in cat on hot tin roof let's go reasonably powerful and Bob noxious odor of -- definitely in his words.
-- -- my goodness.
And without I think we I should point out that the drop bill was passed in the final day of the session congress.
The senate not -- because they are of course not in session had already left session.
But as you say so led by Democrats.
I seem to remember that the job I thank you for the reminder jobs that are good everywhere the stuff.
