Ryan claims more foreign policy experience than Obama 4 yrs ago, proves he's clueless on the issue [View all]

Ryan: ‘I Have More Foreign Policy Experience’ Than Obama Four Years Ago

Paul Ryan pushed back against President Obama's attacks on the Romney-Ryan ticket as new to foreign policy, arguing that he has more foreign policy experience now than Obama did upon entering office four years ago in an interview on CBS Sunday.

"I have more foreign policy experience coming into this job than President Obama, who sat on the Senate Foreign Relations committee, did coming into his," Ryan said on "Face the Nation." "I've voted to send men and women to war. I've been to Iraq and Afghanistan. I've met with our troops to get their perspectives. I've been to the funerals, I've talked to the widows, I've talked to the wives, the moms and the dads. That's something. That matters."

What an idiot! He thinks voting for war is foreign policy?

Kerry at DNC:

So on one side of this campaign, we have a president who has made America lead like America again. What is there on the other side? An extreme and expedient candidate, who lacks the judgment and vision so vital in the Oval Office. The most inexperienced foreign policy twosome to run for president and vice president in decades.

On edit:

I'm starting to think Mitt was set up. After the media shills labeled Ryan a VSP, Mitt thought he would choose him and then the two of them would launch an offensive against the President.

Mitt, you're a sucker!

Pinocchio Ryan is less popular than Sarah Palin as a VP candidate. His lies have made him look silly. His plan has been deemed toilet paper, and now even Mitt has thrown him under a bus (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021303598).

Now that Ryan has been rendered ineffective, Democrats are casting Mitt as the male Sarah Palin (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021304282). Ouch!

A twofer that highlights every silly utterance Mitt makes and also ensures that no one will take him seriously for picking Pinocchio Ryan for his VP.
