Crystal Wright Op-Ed: Ryan Sets Tampa Ablaze

The conservative Republican blogger, who is at the Republican National Convention, writes about Rep. Paul Ryan's speech last night: "During the 25 minutes of invigorated words and standing ovations too many to count, Ryan reduced Obama to a man bereft of ideas, bloated with slogans and lacking in leadership. Ryan ticked off Obama’s record from the last three and half years as if it were one train wreck rolling into the next: $831 billion failed stimulus, 23 million Americans under or unemployed, passage of the job killing Obamacare, which steals $716billion from Medicare to help pay the new entitlement, a 'downgraded America' with the loss of our Triple A credit rating and $16 trillion of debt."

She continues her commentary: "The more Ryan spoke, the more Obama looked like the emperor with no clothes on. Ryan exclaimed that Romney and he would not shirk responsibility for blame, pledging to limit government growth, capping federal spending to 20% of GDP rather than choking economic growth. Ryan’s speech created a choice between the strength, action and leadership of Romney contrasted against the puniness of Obama’s broken promises, failures and hopelessness. Stating what every American knows to be true that Obama is running from his record in his re-election campaign, Ryan said, 'the failures of one administration are not a mandate for a new administration.'"

More: "In one of the many jovial moments lacing the speech, Ryan said unlike Romney’s hotel elevator music, his iPod playlist starts with AC/DC, and ends with Zeppelin. Ryan seemed to channel a Zeppelin song Wednesday because his words built a 'A Stairway to Heaven' for Romney to climb to the White House. All Romney has to do is to continue the climb Thursday night and not stumble."
