When Mitt Romney wandered off script and admitted that Obama hasnt raised taxes, Paul Ryan looked like someone just punched him in the stomach.
Romney said, I admit this, [President Obama] has one thing he did not do in his first four years hes said hes going to do in the next four years, which is to raise taxes.
The really priceless moment is happening behind Romney, as Paul Ryan realizes what Romney said, and tries his very best to maintain his smile. Ryans face transformed into a pained expression, as Romney accidentally let loose with a bit of truth.
Paul Ryans reaction to Mitt Romneys accidental admission of the truth was priceless. Ryan has to be wondering what he got himself into here. He was once one of the GOPs Young Guns, but now he is watching his image and his future national prospects go up in smoke as he finds himself trapped in the burning building that is the Romney campaign.

(37,305 posts)Tax Hikes Coming No Matter Who Wins White House
CNBC.com | September 25, 2012 | 02:06 PM EDT
Regardless of who wins the White House this November, the new health-care law will raise taxes on high-income Americans next yearand that could have implications for stocks and other assets.
Starting Jan. 1, there will be an additional 3.8 percent tax on investment incomeincluding capital gains, dividends and rental income. It will apply to married couples with adjusted gross income of $250,000 or more and for individuals above $200,000.
There will also be a 0.9 percent tax next year on all salaries and wages earned above those same threshold amounts.
The new taxes, part of the 2010 health care law, are expected to help fund Medicare.

(13,141 posts)Is that why Ryan does a double-take?
What's Romney saying? He admits Obama did one thing right he said he was going to do which was he didn't raise taxes over the next four years or something like that and on that account we can't afford four more years????? DId I get it right?
Edit: I will try again and see if it makes sense this time.
Another edit. Mitt is losing it.. he's contradicting himself, and look at his face.. he's crazed.
Segami
(14,923 posts)you can be sure Obama will raise them in the next four years if he's elected.
Fear tactics......scare the electorate into submission.
Voice for Peace
(13,141 posts)is where Romney says Obama is just going to continue the status quo
for the next four years
and we can't afford it.
After he had just said Obama was NOT going to continue the
status quo.
That's when Ryan did a wait wut and started to scowl.
