Paul Ryan Booed By Inauguration Crowd

[sheshe2]

If things had gone differently in November, Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) might have departed the Capitol on Monday as the vice president of the United States. Instead, he faced a chorus of boos as he left the building to attend President Barack Obama's second inauguration ceremony.

Ryan announced last week that he would be present for Obama's public swearing in at the Capitol, calling it his "obligation."

Ryan served as GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's running mate during the 2012 election cycle. Though they came up short in their loss to Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, he was reelected to his Wisconsin congressional seat in November.

UPDATE: 12:50 p.m. -- HuffPost's Ryan Grim reports that Obama got in a jab at Ryan during his inaugural address, attacking the former vice presidential candidate's "makers vs. takers" rhetoric:

6. the sad, but highly amusing thing is, he's the best they got, Limbaugh said it himself

He was so super intelligent, he was the leader of the party, he was going to easily help Romney beat Obama....
then it turned out he was an idiot compulsive liar of no substance so they quickly stuffed him back in the basement.
Does that guy hang around with Lance Armstrong or something.
