Paul Ryan already brings Obama to address the issues.

Last weekend will be remembered for events in America, far from the Olympic stadia in London, with the appointment of Congressman Paul Ryan as Republican Vice Presidential candidate.

Fittingly it will be the obscene waste of most government spending in the West that must now come to be seen as the major issue of our age. Already incumbent President Obama has been brought up sharp to address that reality, read here.

The longer lesson of the London Olympics, fittingly illustrated by the garish and sometimes almost satanic nature of the closing ceremony, will perhaps come to reflect that such a display, is no way for the custodians of public funds, in a bankrupt state, to distribute taxpayers sequestered former wealth.
