Paul Ryan Dismantles Obama's Claims of Cost Reductions

Dave @ Garfield Ridge wrote to me to say Paul Ryan had given him wood earlier in the day, with his Washington doesn't have all the answers mini-speech.

I think this is better.

Look at Obama just having to sit there and take it, with that Nixonian glower. And note again he will not engage on any point he'd have to concede -- he just says he doesn't want to get "bogged down" in petty little details like whether this cuts costs as advertised, or in fact creates a perpetual multi-trillion hole in the budget.

Jay Nordlinger: Agrees Republicans won:

Let me try something out on you: This health-care summit was a bad idea for the Democrats for this reason: They have long benefited from a perception — a perception greatly abetted by the media: The Republicans don’t care about health care, they don’t know about health care, they are the Party of No. All the ideas and caring are on the Democratic side.

It is not so, and it has never been so. And now everybody knows it.
