Roanoke, Va. - Republican vice presidential pick Paul Ryan slammed President Obama for his "You didn't that" comment Wednesday, making a campaign stop just ten minutes down the street from where the president made the GOP-parodied remark in July.
"He said last summer was going to be the summer of recovery," Ryan said. "It's a summer later and it's still worse. He said that the private sector is doing just fine, we need more government. This is President Obama's imaginary recovery. It's not here."
In a reflection of how important Virginia plays into the Republican roadmap to winning the White House, Ryan was holding his fourth day of events in the swing state just twelve days into his candidacy.
Ryan was introduced onstage by Chris McMurray, the owner of Crumb and Get it Bakery, who -- the campaign was quick to note -- made local headlines after declining a visit from Vice President Joe Biden, citing the president's remarks as reason to refuse the request.
Romney's running mate continued to hammer the message that the administration's assessments of the economy haven't aligned the country's sluggish growth. In summer of 2010, President Obama and Vice President Biden embarked on a "Recovery Summer" tour, a series of stops which then White House senior adviser David Axelrod said would underscore how this summer would be "the most active Recovery Act season yet."
This June, President told reporters the "private sector is doing just fine" but would later walk back his comments, saying "it's absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine." All of this proved to be fodder for Ryan's argument.

HIDING BEHIND GOOD MANNERS?
Some may say speaking ill of the dead is in poor taste, but hiding behind those who have passed on and claiming some kind of good manners as carte-blanche to say anything surely is the greater of miss steps. With that in mind, and with all due respect to the family... Liberty Dispatch is mindful of the very limited report on the passing of a man shrouded in almost nothing but mystery to the average person around Liberty County.
This past week the infamous “Outsiders” reported the loss of a “Founding Contributor” to their "Work". Skipping right over the duplicitous term “Founding Contributor” and whatever post morten credit they are attributing to Cliff “Fuddy” Harold William, the few locals that know about his recently reported death from cancer are also left with some of the very first admissions of any involvement with William in local political activities at all. The press releases by his friends seem to be restricted in their distribution, bountiful in their lack of specificity, and purposefully wrapped in the flag.
Still lacking a real picture of Mr. William, the vague information provided tells us he was a war hero three decades ago and he allegedly served in some law enforcement capacity. Then his co-workers in the effort to re-elect Henry Patterson sheriff and in defending convicted felons like Harry Kelley and Eddie Shauberger, praise the great progress William made in helping Liberty County begin to obtain justice. Whoa!
What can these people possibly be trying to attach to the obituary of their fallen friend? Patterson was drummed out of office in the worst defeat of an incumbent sheriff in the whole history of Liberty County. Kelley served time in a federal pen in Kansas and Shauberger is busy wheeling and dealing in an attempt to whitewash his own alleged criminal behavior- with the very people in the District Attorney’s office William claimed were the evil core that has perpetuated the good ole boy system in this county.
The way William’s compares’ have reported his death have left the details of what sounds like an honorable service in Vietnam out of their report and decided to try and use their friend’s earlier life to justify what is still very puzzling, if not unknown activity in Liberty County. It may be that his survivors in the group appropriately self named the “Outsiders” are saving a reprint of a detailed enumeration of the people in this county they have accused of wrongdoing for the future in hopes that it sounds like something heroic they can add to their friends farewell as they hope to wrap themselves up in his former glory of years ago.
It is a sad day when enablers prepare fairy tales to justify their own behavior as they bury a man (born in 1956) who, according to their information, has a military record either in the late 1960’s or early 1970's(?). William’s claimed war hero status cannot be tarnished by the Outsider’s perverted agenda but it seems like they made quite an effort anyway. They undoubtedly expect nothing to be said because speaking ill of the dead is thought to be bad manners, but it is they who have exhibited bad manners. If the public is to believe otherwise then a picture of Cliff William and a list of the great progress the Outsiders recently brought to Liberty County should be forthcoming.
