president obama is running as much against paul ryan s ideas as he is against mitt romney. that elevates ryan as well. it seems clear in choosing chris van holland they will go against the first ryan budget, the first medicare plan and also the ryan book. they will go after the budget cuts and troo to tag mitt romney with the severity, using the term relatively, of the ryan budget cuts. right. rom uh any down played the ryan road map. keep in mind the first ryan budget plan included privatizing social security, at least to a certain extent. that s something ryan then dropped in his subsequent budgets. it was there and he was one of the advocates of the plan to put
fact-checking governor romney after last week s debate. you should know nbc news has not granted either campaign permission to use our news material and immediately requested that the campaign refrain from using nbc news material in this and future advertisements. the obama commercial uses only a short clip from a truth squad report that, in fact, pointed out exaggerations and/or misstatements that both candidates made during the debate. just want to make that clear. mitt romney has accused the president of failure of leadership. also failure of leadership that s emboldened iran and other u.s. adversaries abroad in the middle east and north africa. this president s policies haven t been equal to our best examples of world leadership. nowhere is this more evident than in the middle east. i want to be very clear. the blame for the murder of our people in libya and the attacks on our embassies in other countries lies solely with those
