it was eight days, nine days ago we were discussing paul ryan, the article in the new yorker called fuss budget. did you know then he was actually on the fast track to be a pick for the vp? no, we barely talked about it in my interview. the reason i wrote the piece, i wanted to think about what is romney going so do if he wins. if you want to understand what republicans will do if they gain the white house, paul ryan is the guy to understand. it was his policy agenda that you knew romney was going in the direction. i didn t think he would take paul ryan himself. you could have said yes and told us you did i want to be honest. i did say he was a long shot for veep. we re talking all about paul ryan today. in fact, we want to get up close and personal with the congressman. mitt romney says he is very happy with his new running mate, ryan seems genuinely moved by the appointment and at point practically crying with emotion. last night on 60 minutes. paul ryan said
i m suzanne malveaux and this hour in cnn newsroom, we are focusing on paul ryan, mitt romney s choice for vice president. i want to get right to it. paul ryan campaigns today as the number two man on the republican ticket and the man with the plan to remake medicare and medicaid and other programs. critics say it is a plan that will make things worse for the poor and the middle-class. we will also tell you about ryan s personal story and his personal experience. we will examine key parts of the budget plan and the proposed changes to medicare and medicaid. president obama comes out swinging against mitt romney running mate, and the obama campaign calling paul ryan s budget proposal radical. the president says it is the wrong vision for the country, and in iowa a couple of minutes ago, he blasts romney team s economic plan. what is holding us back right now is washington politics. you ve got folks on the other side who think that compromise is a dirty word. and whose main
been busy working the phone trying to figure out what happened, how injured, how many people? we don t know how many people have bee shot. i just got off the phone with sergeant jason james of the bryan police department. he said multiple people shot. the investigation is still continuing. they don t know if there s another suspect right now. this did happen off campus just blocks away from the university. it s scary for them there. scary for people anywhere given what happened recently. there was a gunman spotted on campus. they issued campus code maroon locking the campus down. they don t know if anyone from the university is involved. multiple people shot including civilians and police officers. when i spoke not too long ago, she told me, you never know how many people are involved. she said one person is contained, but there s the possibility and they are looking sboog it now that others could be involved. this is still a fluid situation. they don t know if ther
to go through. and just to give a little bit of context, the field marshal was probably the most powerful man in egypt, now mohamed morsi is the most powerful man in egypt. also comes as president mohamed morsi sacked his head of intelligence. he sacked the head of the republican guard, which oversees security. there was a lot of turnover right now within the security service, within the military. this is all coming as we have this conflict going on in sinai. a lot of people are wondering why he would fire his top military commander while an ongoing operation against militants is happening in the sinai, and why didn t he do this when he had a cabinet reshuffle just a couple weeks ago. so there is a lot of questions people are asking. right now it s safe to say that egypt is in a state of shock as this news comes out. so ian, lots of estions, lots of confusion. and while some reports he s fired them, in others he s asking them to retire, and at the same time morsi may be off
mate, congressman paul ryan. i want to congratulate congressman ryan. i know him. i welcome him to the race. congressman ryan is a decent man. he is a family man. he is an articulate spokesman for governor romney s vision. but it s a vision that i fundamentally disagree with. cnn s athena jones is outside the rally. the president said the vision has something of the likes of fairy dust in it. reporter: it was a big 20 minute speech or so. the first public remarks we have seen from the president responding to romney s choice of congressman ryan. we don t know what he told the first fundraiser of the day which was closed to press completely. he says he likes paul ryan. they are trying to link romney to ryan s budget proposals which they say are radical and aren t good for ordinary people talking about slashing spending on programs and making changes to medicare and medicaid. he was trying to rev up the crowd as you mentioned. this was the event geared more towards young p
