Once again vice president -- -- Paul Ryan.

-- the greatest -- -- in the world but if you can't get Washington to work together in there there weren't absolutely zero.

How how would you expect but let's assume -- did that -- -- UN let's assume we don't get the set you have a divided at Capitol Hill.

How what what are you going to -- -- -- Negotiate more I mean what what's that what's the Ryan Romney magic don't get to undo that logjam.

A couple of things you don't get to common ground unless you put your ideas on the table as you know the house pass a budget twice last -- -- hasn't for three years.

Heidi it's common ground they don't even offer an idea bring it to the -- as I did the reporter gossip so we will put ideas -- the table we will lead with solutions.

The other point I would say -- look at the policies were proposing.

They have bipartisan origins the Medicare reforms that we're proposing.

Are Medicare reforms that are bipartisan I author of epidemic.

What -- you what you put -- budget on the table even -- -- in the budget to Capitol Hill senator Reid just puts it in his pocket.

I mean how would you possibly go through how would probably possibly as Obama's -- got zero votes zero.

But but still senator Harry Reid is the one who you know he's stopping it might happen in a budget up to negotiate out of your budget is good or not but he even negotiate -- he's -- -- -- -- precisely -- -- -- how to get him to work well I don't.

Hi Carey Harry -- -- -- that's -- -- -- -- -- for itself I can't speak for what it takes to get Harry -- to make decisions or the senate to do something.

But I know what we do as we lead we reach across the aisle we don't demonize and demagogue people we work with them just like I did on Medicare reform.

Our tax reform proposals they have bipartisan origin.

Get rid of tax shelters and special interest loopholes lower tax rate for everybody there -- a lot of Democrats who agree with us.

Ronald Reagan and Tip -- -- -- -- sort of against the M Simpson falls when they're trying to get rid of all you know what I did because I didn't like.

The total sensible package -- -- my own plan out there that's what leaders do.

I took what I like to sit symbols edited it to new solutions.

Put that in a budget -- -- -- through congress.

The reason I didn't vote for -- bolster -- didn't tackle the problem health care.

It kept obamacare and place it allowed Medicare to go bankrupted Medicare to grow unchecked which goes to bankruptcy.

I did not want to look my constituents in the and -- -- Pastor voted for a plan that I know doesn't solve the problem there of great ideas and Simpson most of those two guys -- -- they're great guys.

But what I did was offer an alternative that's what President Obama -- the country.

Don't tell us that you don't like our -- show us what yours is he really has yet to put a credible plan out there that actually.

-- this problem here's the problem -- we don't have much more time.

We will be Greece or Europe.

If we keep kicking the can and on the road.

But president's failed leadership is done Mitt Romney's not gonna make that mistake the Rush Limbaugh and Laura and -- have been hard on the campaign in the past couple days they've -- said that -- -- Not hold -- -- or this and that they don't win this one another party's gone.

Look I believe is the most important election in our lifetimes.

We're literally choosing.

Not just who's going to be president the next four years what kind of country we're gonna have a -- people are we going to be.

If I had a boil it down it would be this we are offering the American idea of opportunity society with the safety net a Saudi prosperity and upper mobility.

Pres Obama is offering four more years of the same -- -- to a welfare state with a debt crisis we think the goal and role of government.

To protect our natural rights so we define happiness for ourselves and promote equality of opportunity.

But Obama saying he wants to equalize the results of people's lives -- government granted rights.

Very different philosophy.

Very different vision and what we see with the Obama plan.

Is stagnation.

Debt crisis that's not what people want in this country and I think when Americans look at the final analysis.

They'll take us and our idea is to get the.

Okay well isn't here -- Lambeau Field are Lambert.

Greta I've been coming gains here a long time I tailgate right over there at the other of that parking lot this is Lambeau Field.

IShares of ice water you're sure I took my daughter to the playoff game against the giants last year -- critical day and she -- halfway home it's capable -- settled.

Obama I'm a big time packer fan lifelong -- -- -- -- Lambeau.

Second question Jerry Kramer played for ten years for the Packers he's been up but -- think about ten times to make the hall of fame.

He's the one who threw the Ted the -- us apart start when I got all in 1967.

And he's a wanna kick the field goals in 1962 the wind championship against the Green Bay Packers.

He's not in the hall of fame do you support Jerry -- currently going to dog hall of fame actually on -- on up.

Picture on my wall in my office is a picture of Vince Lombardi and Paul -- And on -- -- my office is a packer helmet signed by Mike McCarthy.

My blood is -- gold but today's arraignment -- criticized tell us your lyrics video clip off absolutely.

There -- a lot of -- -- -- into the hall of fame more than just that.
