unite and uplift america. it was a patriotic setting to be sure for what many consider to be a bold announcement in front of the old battleship, the uss wisconsin. named after ryan s home state. but it began with a glitch of sorts. mitt romney mistakenly introducing ryan as the next president of the united states. he later corrected whhimself an he joked about it. listen to this. join me in welcoming the next president of the united states, paul ryan. every now and then, i m known to make a mistake. i did not make a mistake with this guy. but i can tell you this. he s going to be the next vice president of the united states. very nice recovery from obviously a gaffe there. that small error though. is it necessarily a deal breaker? it wasn t for the president of the united states, president barack obama. listen to his announcement of joe biden as his running mate four years ago. let me introduce to you the next president, the next vice president of the united state ....
