In reply to the discussion: Better off now than 4 years ago? Ryan says Jimmy Carter's leadership was better than Obama's [View all]cognoscere
(461 posts)8. I hope he's stupid enough to try that approach in the debate.
Joe Biden will shove that so far down Ryan's throat, it will stick out his lying ass. Four years ago, just off the top of my head: Deep recession approaching depression; DOW at 6500 something; major auto companies going down the tubes; major banks threatening to fold; bleeding jobs faster than W could lie about them. There is a long list floating around the Net of the things that O's actions improved. Joe Biden will know it by heart and will have additional facts and figures to back it up. Can't wait to see Lyin' Ryan do that pouty face thing he does after Joe kicks him squarely in the nuts.

I'm certainly better off than I was 5 years ago, and Jimmy Carter was a better president that Bush.

I have noticed that RW Gen-Xers like Ryan are obsessed with Carter and Reagan.
