Paul Ryan goes into Obama attack mode at the Reagan library
(Read article summary)Rep. Paul Ryan on Tuesday was the third Republican with vice-presidential buzz to speak at the Reagan library this election season. But his speech had a different purpose.
Washington
Paul Ryan is the latest rising GOP star to make the pilgrimage to the Reagan library, where the House Budget Committee chairman delivered an address Tuesday night.
Walking to the podium with Nancy Reagan in the shrine devoted to President Reagan is a passage recently taken by two other Republican superstars who garnered presidential (and then vice presidential) buzz: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida.
(However, Representative Ryan didn't get the full treatment: Mrs. Reagan stayed at home for health reasons.)
Ryan's speech in Simi Valley, Calif., however, differed from those of Governor Christie and Senator Rubio in notable ways.
