Ryan will be far more popular among young people than obama. They thought obama was like them, young, hip, energetic. We heard about his hoop shots and swagga. That was the myth, The reality was he liked to go on expensive vacations and play golf. Remember those surfing shots of him in Hawaii hanging ten? You don't see those photo ops anymore. obama was a media package. obama is the Fabian of our time. obama is the Rock Hudson of politics.
