Almeno per quanto riguarda la presenza sui social media il presidente Obama ha già vinto la sua rielezione nella corsa alla Casa Bianca.
Il candidato repubblicano alla vicepresidenza, l'ultraconservatore deputato del Wisconsin Paul Ryan, raccontato dal New Yorker.
Ryan won his seat in 1998, at the age of twenty-eight. Like many young conservatives, he is embarrassed by the Bush years. At the time, as a junior member with little clout, Ryan was a reliable Republican vote for policies that were key in causing enormous federal budget deficits: sweeping tax cuts, a costly prescription-drug entitlement for Medicare, two wars, the multibillion-dollar bank-bailout legislation known as TARP. In all, five trillion dollars was added to the national debt. In 2006 and 2008, many of Ryan's older Republican colleagues were thrown out of office as a result of lobbying scandals and overspending. Ryan told me recently that, as a fiscal conservative, he was "miserable during the last majority" and is determined "to do everything I can to make sure I don't feel that misery again."
In 2009, Ryan was striving to reintroduce himself as someone true to his ideological roots and capable of reversing his party's reputation for fiscal profligacy. A generation of Republican leaders was gone. Ryan had already jumped ahead of more senior colleagues to become the top Republican on the House Budget Committee, and it was his job to pick apart Obama's tax and spending plans. At the table in his office, Ryan pointed out the gimmicks that Presidents use to hide costs and conceal policy details. He deconstructed Obama's early health-care proposal and attacked his climate-change plan. Obama's budget "makes our tax code much less competitive," he said, as if reading from a script. "It makes it harder for businesses to survive in the global economy, for people to save for their own retirement, and it grows our debt tremendously." He added, "It just takes the poor trajectory our country's fiscal state is on and exacerbates it."
