Mitt Romney Introduces Paul Ryan as "The Next President of the United States"

by at .

Mitt Romney picked Paul Ryan for Vice President this morning, and apparently thinks very highly of him, as Paul received a promotion within five minutes!

Okay, not really, but in introducing the Wisconsin Congressman and rising GOP star to a Norfolk, Va., crowd, Romney finished his remarks with a gaffe:

"Join me in welcoming the next President of the United States, Paul Ryan!"

Of course ... if President Obama wins reelection, then Ryan wins the White House in 2016, Romney could be proven correct! Chances are that's not what he meant.

Mitt caught his error as Ryan made his way to the podium, then joked that "every now and then I've been known to make a mistake ... I didn't make one with this guy."

"I can tell you this, he's going to be the next Vice President of the United States."

Ryan and his budget-cutting ideas have the potential to transform the 2012 race; both parties responded to his nomination with a "game on" approach.

Support for the mix of spending cuts and tax cuts proposed by Ryan, 42, has become a litmus test on the right, and opposing them a rallying cry on the left.

What do you think: Is Paul Ryan a good choice for V.P.?

    @ken1. Why would a Canadian, put down America. You folks in Quebec, and Montreal, can't make up your minds, if you're worthless, like France, and the French, or if you're under British rule. All your tv shows, make believe they're in the U.S. So many of your citizens, come into tHe U.S. to earn a living. Canada is a safe haven for American cowards, who didn't want to fight for their country of America. I don't know about now, but your currency use to be woth 70¢ on our dollar. How would you feel if our armed forces, weren't close by, to protect your country. That being said, Obama is pro- Communist, thanks to a guy that might be his biological father. It's hsrd to tell, since his mother was a whore. As president, Obama is not right, for the most powerful, greatest, country in the world, and I'm not talking aboot(not a typo) Canada. I'm talking about, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

    Canada 101...take a USA 101 course. We gave you business...parts of American cars are made up there...we sent you the opportunities to have jobs! Can you spell t-h-a-n-k-s??? Really, why do the Canadians get so very opinionated about the politics of the USA? What personal investment you do have in it? I don't lose sleep over Canadian politics! I could care less. I'm NOT a Canadian....are you? I mean....REALLY?!?
