Ryan Vows U.S. "Turnaround" Under Romney 
-----------------------------------------


 
Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan formally accepted the Republican vice
presidential nomination Wednesday with a prime-time address at the
Republican National Convention in Tampa. Ryan vowed a "turnaround" of
the U.S. economy should Mitt Romney defeat President Obama in November.

Paul Ryan: "His whole life has prepared him for this moment — to
meet serious challenges in a serious way, without excuses and idle
words. After four years of getting the run-around, America needs a
turnaround, and the man for the job is Governor Mitt Romney. President
Obama is the kind of politician who puts promises on the record, and
then calls that the record. But we are four years into this presidency.
The issue is not the economy as Barack Obama inherited it, not the
economy as he envisions it, but this economy as we are living it."
