Ryan: ‘Premature’ To Think About 2016

Source: TPM



PEMA LEVY 11:56 AM EST, SUNDAY JANUARY 27, 2013

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), thought to be a top Republican presidential contender in 2016, said Sunday that it was "premature" to think about running for president now.

"I don't" think about a 2016 run, Ryan said on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I think it's just premature. I've got an important job to do. I represent Wisconsin. I'm chairman of the budget committee at the time we have the fiscal crisis. I think I can do my job representing the people I work for by focusing on that right now, than focusing on these distant -- these distant things."

Ryan said he will "decide later" on whether to consider seriously running for president.

That lying teabagger is running, and if by some freak chance gets the nomination he'll get his clock cleaned.

RYAN's desire is just like a "h**d job" he wants to blame everyone and then blame those 47% as being takers and not makers.
He "WAS" and still is "ONE"of the architects of our crisis in money management---like two unfunded wars and Medicare Part D and he's in charge of the Budget Committee and he says " I think I can do my job representing the "people" I work for--- really, he sleeps with the Koch Enterprises (John Birchers).
I see "pre-mature" alright just like another typical republican "h**d j*b".
