OSKALOOSA, Iowa – President Barack Obama called the latest addition to the GOP ticket, Rep. Paul Ryan, “a good man, a family man” during a speech in Iowa on Tuesday. But he had little good to say about the Wisconsin congressman’s positions on the budget and economy, criticizing Republican economic policy as “trickle-down fairy dust.”
“They don’t have a plan to cut the deficit. They don’t have a plan to increase jobs. They sure don’t have a plan to restore the middle class,” said Obama. “We don’t need more tax cuts for people like me.”
Obama delivered a half-hour speech in Oskaloosa, his first visit to the eastern Iowa city since he campaigned for the Democratic nomination he won four years ago. Obama’s staff, which distributed tickets for the event, said 852 people attended.
