Paul Ryan Rips Obamacare while at a fundraiser in Iowa

Representative Paul Ryan, R-Wis., called the troubled ObamaCare rollout an example of the "hollowness of big government" in his first appearance in Iowa since the 2012 presidential election. 
Ryan, the GOP nominee for vice-president last year, addressed a crowd of around 800 Republican stalwarts as the featured speaker at a birthday fundraiser for Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad. 
While the audience in the packed ballroom in Altoona dined on barbecued pork and fried chicken, Ryan repeatedly praised Branstad for enacting tax cuts this year with a politically divided legislature, calling it "an example people in Washington can learn from."
Branstad also praised Ryan, calling him "a common-sense statesman from a neighboring state that's really trying to do the right thing." 
But Ryan devoted most of his address to hammering the botched rollout of President Obama's signature healthcare law. 
"Remember we were told we had to pass this bill to find out what was in it," Ryan said. "Well, here we are." 
The eight-term congressman added that there were only two explanations for the problems plaguing ObamaCare: "Either [the Obama administration was] being dishonest, or they are incompetent I don't know which is worse.

Does anyone still not think that Ryan is running in 2016?

He's gone from the back burner to the front burner in the past 3 weeks.

Christie can't be too happy. They draw much of their support from the same groups.

Cruz and Paul fans should be pushing for Ryan...he evens the playing field.
