Ryan wants to have an adult conversation with America about the looming insolvency of the welfare state, and he has a serious plan to fix it.
I suspect Ryan is one of the few Republicans Obama genuinely fears; after all, Ryan schooled Obama in Obama’s faux-“health care summit” early last year. (Obama does not look pleased in the video.) David Brooks reports, by the way, that Obama never picks up the phone to try to talk with Ryan.
Ryan is areal hero of ours but his expertise, though extraordinary, is not broad enough o qualify for the oval office.
