Title: Ryan says Obama won 'fair and square'

Good comments.

Ryan says Obama won 'fair and square'
Posted by
CNN's Ashley Killough

(CNN) - Rep. Paul Ryan described his election loss with Mitt Romney last week as a painful surprise but argued the president won re-election "fair and square," according to the congressman's interviews with local news outlets in Wisconsin on Monday.

"It hurts to lose a big election like this, but I don't have any regrets whatsoever," Ryan told The Journal Times of Racine on Monday, adding that they "ran the kind of race we wanted to run" and campaigned on "specific solutions and big ideas."

The former GOP vice presidential nominee said the campaign was especially "shocked" by the results in Ohio, a crucial battleground that was carried by Obama.

"Once we realized that we weren’t going to win Ohio, that’s when we realized that it wasn’t going to turn out for us," he said on WISN, a CNN affiliate in Milwaukee.

"The numbers we were looking at looked like we stood a pretty good chance of winning," he continued. "So, when the numbers came in, going the other direction. When we saw the turnout that was occurring in urban areas that were unprecedented, it did come as a bit of a shock. So, those are the toughest losses to have - the ones that catch you by surprise."

And to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, he described election night-his first loss ever-as a "foreign experience" but ultimately said the race was a "very net positive experience" for him and his wife, Janna.

While public polls indicated the race could potentially be too close to call on election night, President Barack Obama was projected to win the race by midnight (Eastern Standard Time). Florida, the remaining battleground that had yet to decide a winner, was called for the president on Saturday. In the end, Obama won with 51% of the vote to Romney's 48%.

Ryan said Obama's campaign "did a better job of getting the voters to the polls" and ultimately "won fair and square," according to the Journal Times.

Following election night, Ryan returned to his hometown of Janesville, Wisconsin and "unplugged," he told the Journal Times. The congressman said he went to his son's basketball games and helped his daughter, Liza, get her hunter safety certificate. Placing a ban on news, Ryan said his family only watched football.

While he lost the presidential race, Ryan defeated his Democratic challenger in Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District and won re-election to an eighth term in the House. He'll soon head back to Capitol Hill for a lame duck session where Congress faces an end-of-the-year deadline to find a deficit-reduction plan and avert the so-called fiscal cliff.

Ryan, echoing calls by House Speaker John Boehner, said the president needs to "lead by putting out specific solutions that we can work from" in determining how to reverse the nation's skyrocketing debt. The House Budget Committee chairman, who confirmed he would continue to hold the position, said he favors tax reform and a "hard look" at entitlement programs.

Democrats, however, are pushing for an increase on tax rates for the wealthiest Americans in addition to spending cuts-a measure that faces strong opposition from the GOP.

"Whether people intended to or not, they re-elected a divided government," Ryan told the Journal Times. "But the difference is, this time we need to work."

As for 2016, he brushed off talk of a presidential run, telling the Journal Sentinel "Let's not talk about that stuff."

"That's four years away," he continued. "I think we're all tired of presidential politics at this time."

So they ran the kind of race  they wanted to run ...that's disappointing, since both candidates ran a hugely negative and often untruthful campaign. I would hope he would have said, "you know, when I reflect on the race, I wish we had focused more on what we will do to address the issues, than on how awful Obama is..."

Romney didn't get down in the mud like Obama.  No accusations of murder.  Didn't call Obama a felon.  Didn't let his crony go to the floor of the Senate and call him a tax cheat.  Not much of a comparison.

Actually he went harder after Obama during the primaries than he did in the general.  I wouldn't say he wanted to lose.  I think he wanted to win, but do it his way.  In hindsight, he needed to fight much dirtier like Obama did to win.  Sad fact of politics.

The experts say negative campaigning works.. It has the opposite effect on me, when ANY candidate starts slinging mud, I mentally turn them off. I can't stand mud slinging. Both parties do it, because apparently that's what WE like.... Makes me ashamed sometimes.

reason and common sense?

These generals were all set up and caught in the honey trap by Obama and his gang of marxist criminals, traitors, thugs, welfare maggots, communists who are afraid that they were going to tell the truth about Obama's treason in Libya.  Obama was arming the local Jihadi's in a sort of Fast n Furious in Libya and Amb. Stevens stiffed a few locals who went to get revenge.  The idea that this was over a video is as ludicrous and the stupid fucking mental patients who re-elected their God King Cult Messiah ObamaClaus. 

A big purge is underway, General Ham was sacked and many others in the Naval Command are being fired as well. 

he's the one who said he was leaving because of work and other issuess when he hit 99,999

he can always recant if he wants to but let's not pretend he's suddenly is sane and reasonable

global politics is played in the mud.  global politics involve a dozen countries pointing deadly weapons at each other and demanding things.

If romney was TOUGH enough to call Obama a kenyan traitor, he probably would have won.   Newt or santorum probably would have gotten WAY tougher with obama, as they were way tougher than romney in the debates.  Romney only won by outspending everyone 6 to 1.

I think there's a typo in your quote - the bolded part should read Romney.    Even the article you're showing supports this.

That's what I read and I did a copy and paste.

So then the article is just quoted wrong.

Thanks for the info... Stupid articles.

agreed.   most here would agree getbig politics sucked for that week without 333386. 

when 240 is the one responsible for posting anti-obama articles, it's not a good thing.

Ummm... well actually I kind of liked the fact that I could actually keep up with the posts.
It's been years since I've looked at the board and saw most of the posts didn't have a NEW indicator, and it's been years since I've seen a bunch of legible subject titles that didn't include some racist, or bigotted rant all on the same subject posted by the same person.

And yes, it is a very sad day when you start posting anti-obama articles.
Never forget, ...you're a kneepadder!  ::) whatever the heck that is.

No problem.

Obama's campaign was pretty negative.

I agree... But I have always thought that was politics... Remember Swift Boat? How about When Bush basically said that he had God and the other party didn't?

Seems that negativity is the name of the game in politics.

No doubt, but I heard more than one Massachusetts liberal up here state that they wished Obama would talk about himself instead being in constant attack mode.  Small sample size, of course, but never heard that up here last time or on any other election.

They're all scum.  I just think this one was a little more scummy.

global politics is played in the mud.  global politics involve a dozen countries pointing deadly weapons at each other and demanding things.

If romney was TOUGH enough to call Obama a kenyan traitor, he probably would have won.   Newt or santorum probably would have gotten WAY tougher with obama, as they were way tougher than romney in the debates.  Romney only won by outspending everyone 6 to 1. 

If Romney had been STUPID enough to call Obama a "Kenyan traitor" his defeat would have been even more decisive and humiliating than it was. Their problem was they didn't stand for anything. They weren't appealing to people to vote FOR Romney, their appeal was for people to vote AGAINST Obama. And far worse, their appeal was to the stupidest, most bigotted, and intellectually challenged people ON THE PLANET!

And they wondered what happened.  ::)

I'll tell you what happened, ...the GOP got rid of the one man who could actually beat Obama, in favour of a corporate whore who made no secret of the fact that he as willing to get into bed ith anything & anyone. Nobody wants an STD. That's why you limit your partners.

Wow what?  Romney ran his campaign like a country club milqetoast pussy. 

O-THUG ran as a sewer rat

Oh Puleaze! Just because accusations weren't coming out of Romney's mouth, doesn't mean he ran a clean campaign. Not when he can convince mindless drones with political OCD to post non-stop vicious racist rants attacking Obama and his wife 24 hours a day / 7 days a week.

In the end, the puppet masters decided they would forgive Obama for his previous betrayal on keystone, and give him another chance. Romney was on standby in case they felt Obama could not be counted on to continue doing their bidding.

Now that he is back in office, this is where the rubber meets the road, ...and we will see whose side he is really on... that of the puppet masters, ...or the people.

He was just wrong.  He didn't attack Obama's character, call him a criminal, etc.  Really no comparison to how they attacked Romney.  They pretty much put him in the same category as some organized crime figure by talking about accounts in Switzerland, etc.   

He DOES have accounts in Switzerland, AND the Caymans,
If you had any idea some of the people Romney has gotten into bed with over the years, it would blow your mind. I think it would probably surprise most people, if not for the way they watched him switch positions during this election. The republicans came up with the term for Kerry in 2004, but I can't think of a bigger flip flopper than Romney.

I know he has accounts in foreign banks.  The reason they brought that up was to try and make him look like a criminal.  Having money in foreign banks is not criminal.  Nothing wrong with it at all.

They've been fed a steady diet of BS, have eaten it all up, and in some cases went back for seconds. Of course they're full of shit.

Does it ever end?

"X said A about Y!"

No, here is the link showing X did NOT say A about Y.. (No response)

"Well X said  B about Y!"

No, here's a link showing X actually said ___ about Y.. (no response)

With political pundits on TV and this board, there is no penalty for spreading BS. It doesn't matter to them what the truth is, it only matters that they continue to spread BS. Why even bother debating them?

Pretty naive analysis.  Next you should find the transcript of the healthcare video and point out how they don't actually use the word "murder" or directly accuse Romney of murdering the woman.  Then you should get the transcript of Harry Reid's speech on the floor of the Senate, and highlight how he didn't actually call Romney a "tax cheat." 

You could also find transcripts of the numerous comments about overseas bank accounts and explain how they never directly called Romney a criminal. 

But if you're not a liberal hack, and you have common sense, you know exactly what they were doing to Romney.  Plain as day.

So you have another source of someone saying he was a felon.. if not... this is weak as hell and you know it.... you are a right winged hack that would rather listen to fake outrage than get facts. There was no one in Obamas Campaign calling Romney a Felon as you  stated.. so unless you got something from Obamas camp saying "Romney is a Felon"..... dude its freaking weak.. .

if the repub talking point (as evidenced by SOME getbiggers) is "obama played too dirty in the 2012 election, that's why we lost..."

Then you suck.  you fcking suck.  You deserve to lose every election for the next 100 years.  If you're not tough enough to defeat a guy who

1) forced obamacare down throats
2) was probably born outside of USA
3) who has UE at 8% and in reality over 12%
4) running shit in the middle of the 2nd great depression...

And the #1 talking point was "you didn't specifically use the wording act of terror, the transcript said..."

Sorry, but romney wasn't tough enough to be president.   Trump would have been beating the shit out of obama in that debate, as would newt or santorum.

mitt was just too soft.
