Paul Ryan's Speech August 11, 2012, Norfolk, VA


The following excerpt is from the speech Paul Ryan made after being selected as Mitt Romney's running mate.


Mitt Romney is a leader with the skills, the background, and the character that our country needs at a crucial time in its history. Following four years of failed leadership, the hopes of our country, which have inspired the world, are growing dim; and they need someone to revive them. Governor Romney is the man for this moment; and he and I share one commitment: we will restore the dreams and greatness of this country. [. . .]


My dad died when I was young. He was a good and decent man. I still remember a couple of things he would say that have really stuck with me. "Son, you are either part of the problem or part of the solution."


Regrettably, President Obama has become part of the problem — and Mitt Romney is the solution.


The other thing my dad would say is that every generation of Americans leaves their children better off. That's the American legacy. Sadly, for the first time in our history, we are on a path which will undo that legacy. That is why we need new leadership to become part of the solution — new leadership to restore prosperity, economic growth, and jobs. It is our duty to save the American Dream for our children, and theirs. [. . .]


Let me say a word about the man Mitt Romney will replace. No one disputes President Obama inherited a difficult situation. And, in his first two years, with his party in complete control of Washington, he passed nearly every item on his agenda. But that didn't make things better. In fact, we find ourselves in a nation facing debt, doubt, and despair. Whatever the explanations, whatever the excuses, this is a record of failure.


President Obama, and too many like him in Washington, have refused to make difficult decisions because they are more worried about their next election than they are about the next generation. We might have been able to get away with that before, but not now. We're in a different, and dangerous, moment. We're running out of time — and we can't afford four more years of this.


Politicians from both parties have made empty promises which will soon become broken promises — with painful consequences — if we fail to act now.


I represent a part of America that includes inner cities, rural areas, suburbs, and factory towns. Over the years I have seen and heard from a lot from families, from those running small businesses, and from people who are in need. But what I have heard lately troubles me the most. There is something different in their voice and in their words. What I hear from them are diminished dreams, lowered expectations, uncertain futures.


I hear some people say that this is just "the new normal." High unemployment, declining incomes, and crushing debt is not a new normal. It's the result of misguided policies. And next January, our economy will begin a comeback with the Romney Plan for a Stronger Middle Class that will lead to more jobs and more take-home pay for working Americans. America is on the wrong track; but Mitt Romney and I will take the right steps, in the right time, to get us back on the right track. [. . .]


Janna and I tell Liza, Charlie, and Sam that America is a place where, if you work hard and play by the rules, you can get ahead. We Americans look at one another's success with pride, not resentment, because we know as more Americans work hard, take risks, and succeed, more people will prosper, our communities will benefit, and individual lives will be improved and uplifted.


But America is more than just a place — it's an idea. It's the only country founded on an idea. Our rights come from nature and God, not government. We promise equal opportunity, not equal outcomes. This idea is founded on the principles of liberty, freedom, free enterprise, self-determination, and government by consent of the governed. This idea is under assault. So, we have a critical decision to make as a nation. We are on an unsustainable path that is robbing America of our freedom and security. It doesn't have to be this way.

Read this excerpt from President John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address on January 20, 1961:

In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility—I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it—and the glow from that fire can truly light the world.

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Based on the excerpt, what is the central idea of this speech?
A.to cultivate a sense of well-being among the American people
B.to motivate people everywhere to uphold the freedom of humankind
C.to motivate Americans to strive for the development of their nation
D.to foster a feeling of happiness and unity across people and nations
