Paul Ryan: "Obama didn’t close the plant"...

Source: Politico

Rep. Paul Ryan said Tuesday that he wasn’t suggesting that President Barack Obama was responsible for the closure of an auto plant in Janesville, Wis., during his convention speech last week.

“What they are trying to suggest is that I said Barack Obama was responsible for the plant shutdown in Janesville. That is not what I was saying; read the speech. What I was saying is the president ought to be held to account for his broken promises. After the plant was shut down, he said he would lead efforts to restore the plant. It’s still idle,” said Ryan on NBC’s “Today"...

...Ryan, who is from Janesville, said the president had promised to “retool the plant.”

... Asked on ABC to respond to Vice President Joe Biden’s line that Osama bin Laden is dead and GM is alive, Ryan responded, “General Motors isn’t alive in my hometown.”
