Romney embraced Ryan's budget plan in the GOP primaries. Caught President Obama flat footed.

As soon as Romney chose Ryan as a running mate, all of us thought that the Ryan plan was Romney's plan.

Shortly there after, Romney distanced himself from the Ryan plan but gave no specifics of his own.

He left the "etch a sketch" moment open for future use.

Meanwhile, President Obama prepared his debate with the Ryan plan in mind.

Then.....the Romney 'flip flop" happened at the first Presidential debate. The ultimate "etch a sketch" moment.

Romney went 180 degrees from the Ryan plan.

Romney's vague plans were intentional from the beginning. Make the President appear "flat footed" for referencing the Ryan plan.

It was masterful. It was also a lie. It was either a lie to the GOP base in the primaries or a lie to the American people in the 1st Presidential debate. Either way, it was a lie.

One month before the election, Romney is selling himself as a moderate. Exactly what the Teabillies feared the most.

Remember two things:

1) In at least one of the debates, Romney told a flat out lie with respect to Ryan's budget.
2) Paul Ryan is one heart beat away from the Presidency if Romney wins.

1. Incorrect

Obama didn't assume. Obama used the Romney plan, insofar as there is such a thing, from Romney's own website. 20% tax cut. Thats your trillions right there. Romney just has no scruples about lying to our faces.

Interesting that even the republican nominee won't fess up to supporting tax cuts for the rich. That's a change. And even round about talked down Reagan, with his repeated derisive use of the term trickle Down, tacitly acknowledging that that is not an acceptable theory of operation, even if he tried to flip it against government.
