A very disappointed Paul Ryan described Obama’s speech today as excessively partisan, dramatically inaccurate, and hopelessly inadequate. And then he nailed it:
Exploiting people’s emotions of fear, envy, and anxiety is not hope. It’s not change. It’s partisanship. We don’t need partisanship. We don’t need demagoguery. We need solutions. And we don’t need to keep punting to other people to make tough decisions. If we don’t make tough decisions today, our children are going to have to make much, much tougher decisions tomorrow.
