Here we go!
Former Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan (Wis.) said that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would have taken better care of the nation’s fiscal crisis if she were president.
On NBC’s Meet The Press, Ryan, who is said to have ambitions for the 2016 election, praised Clinton:
“Look, if we had a [Hillary] Clinton presidency, if we had Erskine Bowles as chief of staff of the White House or president of the United States, I think we would have fixed this fiscal mess by now,” Ryan said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “[But] that’s not the kind of presidency we’re dealing with right now.”
It should be noted that Bowles was Chief of Staff to former President Bill Clinton, and currently co-chairs the Campaign to Fix The Debt, a bipartisan deficit reduction effort.
In the first live interview since losing the election, Ryan even took jabs at President Obama.
“I don’t think that the president thinks we actually have a fiscal crisis.” He even pulled out a chart to show host David Gregory the dangers of runaway government spending.
About his presidential plans, Ryan said that he doesn’t think about running:
“I think it’s just premature,” he added, “I’ve got a job to do. I represent Wisconsin, I’m chairman of the budget committee at the time we have a fiscal crisis.” In the couched translation of Washington-speak, Ryan’s response leaves the door wide open for him to run.

Hmmm…do you think Ryan is right? Or is just trolling for some attention right now?
