Bipartisan Trouble Clear at Inauguration

The article that I chose to talk about was how Republican Paul Ryan was booed as he left his building on his way to the Presidential Inauguration. I found this story on The Huffington post.com. The article is very short and to the point. People who do not like Ryan's comments or point of view decided to show him just what they thought of him. He was loudly and blatantly booed as he walked out of his building. Ryan's comments about how systems of welfare such as Medicaid and so forth make our country one of "makers and takers" upset many people.. I do not agree with his comments either and while I do believe that people on government assistance should at some point regain personal financial stability, I also believe that sometimes people need help and that is what these programs are for. The article is pretty basic but it shows how some of the American people feel about Ryan and Republicans in general. Not only does the "booing" show the people's discontentment, but it shows how big of an issue bipartisan cooperation has become, especially in Congress. With a new year, new laws need to be passed, and this proves how Congress' work will be very difficult, especially during new gun control laws and aspects of the healthcare bill passed in 2012. The fact is that Ryan and Romney lost and had they won, we wouldn't be discussing this. Obama made reference to Ryan's comments at his inauguration, basically calling him out and saying that we are not a nation of "makers and takers" but rather a nation that helps our citizens that are in need and that makes a strong,supportive nation, not a weak and helpless one with no initiative. Ryan also said he was only attending the inauguration out of "obligation". This comment will only further separate the two sides, particularly the Republican House and Democratic Senate. I felt this was a really lousy thing to say and my personal belief is that if the roles were reversed, than Joe Biden would have gone out of personal choice to support his country. Although this article is not very in depth and extremely to the point, it offers a look at how the American people are feeling about certain politicians in government. It also shows a distaste for cockiness and poor showmanship, which is what I believe Paul Ryan is exuding by some of his not so friendly comments. I understand this is politics but come on.
