thank you. how are you. and there is this one from the university in 1998. you are fighting back? absolutely. you are going to see us, i would say, have the brass knuckles on from here until the beginning of november. here s the problem. barack obama, at his core, and the reason this all came out and the reason we are jumping on it, it proves that at his core he is somebody who believes in redistributing the money of others, the earnings of others and giving it to different folks around the country in the name of in some cases obamacare, stimulus, green energy programs to solyndra, and calling it that would be corporate welfare, weakening welfare requirements around the country. he s got his ag secretary saying that food stamps and those sorts of things are the equivalent of a stimulus plan for this

bogus claim by mr. ryan. the work requirements in welfare are intact. the request for flexibility came largely from republican governors who thought they had some better ways to accomplish the goals of the work in welfare requirements. so this is a completely bogus claim by mr. ryan that appeals to the base. you know, the independent fact-checking organizations gave it four pinnoccios and pants on fire. they produced several add verts to this effect. that s right. that s exactly right. and what they re doing is letting the truth be damned, that s what it is. if they say it over and over again, if they put it on as an advertisement assertion, the fact it s completely untrue is incidental. the casualty is the ryan
