| The Main Event: Ryan v. Obama |
| 2010-02-26 |
 Rep. Paul Ryan, Republican of Wisconsin, just launched a full-bore assault on the faulty assumptions behind the claim that the Obama health care plan will reduce the deficit. Obama didn't even bother questioning Ryan's presentation. He changed the subject to Medicare Advantage. The expression on the president's face as Ryan made his case was absolutely priceless. Simply put, he looked like someone who realizes he's met his match. |

| #8 Of course they wouldn't report on Oblahblah getting served. They're too busy trying to dig up dirt on Ryan for a future hit piece to do that. |

| #6 The Donks had Oblahblah filibustering, sniping, scowling, and umming and ahhhing without TOTUS helping. You didn't mention the Zero picking his nose on camera. Maybe he had a crusty coke booger to deal with. |

| #5 The problem for Big 0 is that he had to win and the trunks had to not lose. Of course the Daily Show loved Big 0. But he didn't change a single vote, so he lost. And he looked so bad doing so that the MSM aren't trying to spin it into a win. So the trunks didn't lose and thus won. |

| #4 They looked competent, knowledgable, reasonable, and articulate. That's fine for those who pay attention. But on The Daily Show, John Stewart showed clips that he claimed were of President Obama nailing them to a wall... and the audience cheered. |

| #3 The Republicans were highly effective. You can tell by the MSM going in to overdrive in their coverage of the Killer Whales. |

| #2 I thought the Pubs would get waxed in a futile stage-play. I was wrong. They looked competent, knowledgable, reasonable, and articulate. The Donks had Oblahblah filibustering, sniping, scowling, and umming and ahhhing without TOTUS helping. Oh, and Louise Slaughter for comic relief with her "my constituent had to wear her dead sisters' ill-fitting dentures" story. Does Obamacare cover dentures? I thought not. What a bunch of idiots. The Pubs played it well. I was wrong |

| #1 I had the great fortune to hear Paul Ryan speak at a college commencement - he's sharp - and received a standing-O. |
