Obama & Reid need to start pushing legislation thru congress. Get Ryan's vote on the issues

I was just reading where Paul Ryan made a stop in Florida touting how much he loves medicare.

I think Obama and Reid need to get bills out there that will strengthen Medicare and Social Security. Maybe some jobs bills too. Good bills that we need for congress. Then put that douchebag Ryan to the vote because either he'll piss off millions of seniors or piss off teabaggers.

Could be fun.

Any legislation regarding the program would just be used as another springboard for his irrational bullshit.

His voucher idea would clearly decimate the program, and the fact that he hasn't gone on the record denouncing it as stupid demonstrates that he does not love Medicare.

that they're adept at the job of pushing good legislation?

God forbid that the navel-gazing dildos inside the beltway could exhibit enough creativity to think of something like that. I'm sure they'll stick to the standard bullshit of doing nothing but tooling around on the campaign trail kissing babies and the asses of big donors.
