Best piece yet regarding the critique of the Ryan Speech imo.
What I liked about this piece is how the author clearly outlines the many areas where Ryan could have legitimately levied criticism but instead he chose lies. Why? As many of us on Hubski have mentioned in the past, Obama has been disappointing for a lot of people that supported him in '08. Why not criticize him on the things he promised and didn't deliver on? Why not focus on the time he had majorities in congress and still wasn't able to accomplish that which he said he would? There is a lot that Ryan could have pointed out that wouldn't be called "lies". Strange call imo. Romney's speech was obviously meant for the independents more so than Ryan's. If I was Obama, I would be worried after Romney's convention. Romney did a fantastic job of making himself appear "human", which is what he's lacked for some time.
