Ryan and his ilk think they can muscle into being winners, but their cause is not just. Obama and Americans will win:

Physical strength can never permanently withstand the impact of spiritual force.

But while they prate of economic laws, men and women are starving. We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature. They are made by human beings.

Competition has been shown to be useful up to a certain point and no further, but cooperation, which is the thing we must strive for today, begins where competition leaves off.

Here is my principle: Taxes shall be levied according to ability to pay. That is the only American principle.

Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough.

If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships - the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Perfect, freshwest! Absolutely perfect!

Ryan looks like such a child there. Sir, I am passing in my homework now, do I get my lollipop now? No son, no you don't. Now go stand in the corner and think. You can come out when you prove to the American people that, you have a heart a brain and some courage!

Poor little Ryan, he will be very old when he get's out of that corner. If ever!

Rep. Alan Grayson: Paul Ryan Wants Sick, Poor People To Die

By Alan with comments March 13, 2013

The Florida congressman said Rep. Paul Ryan cares not for the poor or the sick.

“In one case after another, you look at his principles, you look at his vision, and they’re a nightmare for America,” he said. “He wants Americans to work until they die, he wants poor people who get sick not be able to see a doctor, not to get the care they need, not to get better, he wants them to die, and he wants an America that consists of nothing but cheap labor for his corporate patrons.”

http://www.alan.com/2013/03/13/rep-alan-grayson-paul-ryan-wants-sick-poor-people-to-die/

From the picture, you can see Ryan thinks holding a sheath of papers shows he's smart, or that he's doing something adult or important. He's not, he's a brat.

I don't know what Obama actually said to him there, but it looks as if he took Ryan to the woodshed, no matter what it was.

Nailed it, Touchdown!

The vid I posted freshwest says it all!

No heart, no brain, no nerve! That sure sum's up the GOP!

Go sit in the corner baby boy. The adults are in the room!

He has been slapped down by the President and our equally awesome VP!

Cha, the BOG rocks!
