Paul Ryan actually gave a speech in which he claimed a Wisconsin kid didn't want a free school lunch---as if a hungry kid would reject food?
Turns out the story is the book "An Invisible Thread" about a child panhandler and has NOTHING to do with school lunch.

"Last seen blaming urban voters (you know who hes talking about) for his and Mitt Romneys bitter November defeat, Rep. Paul Ryan returned to the prevaricating ways he made famous throughout the campaign on Tuesday. There were his silly lies about his marathon time, of course, and perhaps more serious, his serial lies in his acceptance speech at the Republican convention in Tampa, Fla., last August, on welfare, GM restructuring and the 2009 stimulus bill. Its hard to know exactly what words to use to describe his campaign appearance helping at a soup kitchen that turned out to be a photo op showing him scrubbing already clean pots and pans, but honest isnt one of them.
Now Ryan is trying to squirm out of the lasso in which the president captured him in his inaugural address Monday. The commitments we make to each other through Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security, these things do not sap our initiative, they strengthen us, Obama said with indignation. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.
Everyone who followed the 2012 campaign knew Obama was talking about Ryan as surely as if hed said his name."
