I'm proud of -- -- is part of our team.

Club member of the House Republican Conference to be chosen.

As our -- presidential candidate.

It's a big honor for him in the big armor for our team.

Although I think -- -- Paul Ryan knows more.

About the debt crisis facing our country than almost anybody congress.

Paul Ryan knows more about pro growth economic policies get our economy -- -- -- Put Americans back to work.

They -- -- great choice literally sets an awful lot about Mitt Romney.

All right.

But what assess the greatest thing that probably do we have -- if -- win this election.

He's got to leave -- we have offense we'll cover.

The bandage just cranking it out already and practice -- -- let me ask you.

Think that this election will be a whole collection or do you think that we're going to fall back -- kind of that the back and forth that we usually see in general election fight.

The election's all about you.

President's policies failed record.

And I think it's orderly about.

A lot of things pending in congress.

Before the end of the year.

All going to get done before.

January 1 2013.

-- that you're gonna have to have Harry Reid.

About how to craft ability to handle the -- great what you.

-- Pending in the united big.

For the senate to do -- work.

But -- they're going to be some kind of compromise that comes there.

Come together before the end of the year how about.

Regular border without suspense to build for each of -- the seven have to pass -- bill and it'll come to some agreement.

-- -- until the senate acts of stuff for the house to do so when people say listen we're really word about this fiscal cliff.

46.

It's a nightmare -- and about two and that's why the house is active and we've done our work waiting for the senate to do -- Congress is not getting good marks overall every poll you look at it's down in low double digits some lower than that.

You're the house speaker does that bother you.

I understand the American people's frustration.

Well what's what's -- on the economy the lack of jobs that what they see as a lack of progress from Washington.

The house over the last eighteen months we've -- what the American people -- -- to do.

Jobs bill after jobs bill -- jobs bill almost all of suited over the United States senate and so.

I understand her frustration.

-- -- to -- at the right place their frustration.

Yeah so you're confidence.

For at least optimistic.

That this is going to get resolved before the end of the year.

I think -- -- to get resolved.

Well I think.

Live in the tax rates to what will be a disaster for our government.

Let in the sequestered go into effect will weaken our national defense and -- -- our military is totally unacceptable.

But.

The frustration for me and my members -- -- we've done our work club and watch Harry Reid the senate Democrats do not have.

It's.

If it -- very frustrated.

You're a politician who's done a lot of retail campaigning in an Ohio you know how it is to shake hands and talk to people the criticism of Mitt Romney is that.

He doesn't have electability factor the prison Obama has that he doesn't he smoked and tell his own story.

What do you think about that.

It's all about the economy.

That's the whole election.

-- the president can't run on his record.

The American people if you look at all the polls that what -- little fix our economy and get jobs growth going again.

Mitt Romney's got a real record -- producing jobs he's the perfect guy at the perfect time.

This is what he said Parade Magazine he said quote I'm emotional I don't show it quite as clearly as John Boehner.

But I'm an emotional person.

There is I don't know societal norm that if you're running for office he can't be emotional and perhaps -- -- to that too often.

I don't think.

I just felt we -- of Seville last night watch -- -- probably give a speech.

Photos of -- -- mass supplements did a great job.

And you think you know Paul Ryan home.
