Report: White House Wants Ryan As Speaker

Posted by | October 12, 2015 23:00 | Filed under: Politics


The White House wants Rep. Paul Ryan to be the next House Speaker, according to Politico’s Mike Allen.

“The White House would like that idea,” Allen said during an interview with Laura Ingraham on her radio show today. “Because they would like one more win … what they’ve always told me is that they admire Paul Ryan for being a substantive, smart guy.”

Speaking to business leaders in Washington D.C. last month, Obama acknowledged that his administration was working with Ryan to negotiate some level of tax reform, even though Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) disagreed.

“To his credit, Paul Ryan expressed real interest in discussions and negotiations,” Obama said during his remarks to the Business Roundtable Headquarters in September.

    The WH knows that the teabaggers will eat Ryan alive and that is why they want him, just to see him fall on his smug little face.

      maybe that was the plan. throw ryan out there knowing the TP’s would say no. one way to get rid of him. if Obama wants it, they pout and stomp their feet.

    I love it. Could there be a better way to keep Ryan out of the speakership? The baggers will go all ape-s**t over the thought that obama wants Ryan.

    Reminds of that political cartoon where Obama said that people should breathe oxygen. And conservatives from coast to coast held their breath and dropped like flies.

    All GOP candidates for president and for speaker are stupid clowns with no serious plans to help the country.
