Paul Ryan attacked President Obama over looming cuts to the defense budget during a campaign stop at a helicopter museum in Pennsylvania on Tuesday afternoon, saying the president would be responsible for putting at risk "almost 44,000 jobs."
There are a couple of problems with what Ryan said:
1) Yes, Obama signed the bill (The 2013 budget, which contains the cuts), which originated in the Republican controlled House, was brought to the floor by Republicans, and was voted on and passed by that same body.
2) Paul Ryan voted in favor of it. Now he's against it, and acting like he had nothing to do with it?
Make of it what you will.
