Wow has Paul Ryan fallen. Remember when some conservatives (including myself) actually liked Paul Ryan and thought he was a strong conservative? Ever since he and Romney got their asses kicked in the 2012 election, Paul Ryan has become Obama’s new BFF on Capitol Hill. Now, Paul Ryan is helping to shield Obama from criticism over not releasing the secret TPA trade deal to the public. This trade deal is the Republican version of ObamaCARE. According to the likes of Ryan, Boehner, Mitch McConnell and others, we have to pass it to find out what’s in it. No one has read the secret trade deal.

| Paul Ryan is Obama’s BFF on secret trade deal |
Instead, he’s allied with the President he tried to defeat. As chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, he’s muscling a controversial trade bill through the House that could shape President Barack Obama’s legacy — and his own.
“Yeah, the irony’s not necessarily lost on me. Look, I think the President on this particular issue is right and therefore I think this is good for our country, good for the people I represent. Trade is very important for America — it’s how we get more jobs,” Ryan told us during an interview in his Capitol office this week.
But did he ever envision working this closely with Obama?
“I’ve done a lot of things in my career that I never envisioned in the future,” replied Ryan. “It doesn’t bother me that the person I ran against in 2012 is the person I’m working with on this because it’s the right thing for the country.”
