Ryan chides Obama over 'redistribution' comment

Paul Ryan debuted a new stump-speech attack on President Obama's "redistribution" comment Wednesday in Danville, Va., as the Republican ticket looks to go on offense after the early part of the week was dominated by coverage of running mate Mitt Romney's "47 percent" comments at a fundraiser earlier this year.

"President Obama said that he believes in redistribution," Ryan told the crowd, gathered outside a tire manufacturing company just across the North Carolina border. "Mitt Romney and I are not running to redistribute the wealth, Mitt Romney and I are running to help Americans create wealth."

Ryan's comments referenced an audio recording that surfaced Tuesday of Obama at an academic conference in 1998 saying he "believe[s] in redistribution, at least at a certain level,Natural Chinese turquoise beads at Wholesale prices. to make sure that everybody has a shot."

Looking to change the narrative from the secretly recorded comments Romney himself admitted were "not elegantly stated" at a Florida fundraiser,Natural Chinese turquoise beads at Wholesale prices. Republicans have begun hammering the president over the remark. Ryan picked up the baton Wednesday in Virginia, pledging a Romney administration would advocate free market principles.

"Efforts that promote hard work and personal responsibility over government dependency are what has made this economy the envy of the world," Ryan said.

The vice presidential candidate seemed to acknowledge the whirlwind pace of the week early in his remarks, telling the crowd, "What a day. What a week!"

And, in what may have been a tacit acknowledgment of the potential damage of his running mate's remarks, the Wisconsin lawmaker emphasized how Romney served as a Republican governor of heavily-Democratic Massachusetts, listing instances where he worked with members of the opposition party.

"He didn't demean, he didn't demagogue, he reached across the aisle," Ryan said.Purelink's real time location system protect healthcare workers in their daily practices.

Ryan continued his standard stump speech practice of highlighting a rolling national debt clock and hammering the president's economic record.

"I gotta tell you, if you want to make tire molds,Sinotruck Hongkong International is special for howo truck. if you want more jobs, you've got to have more economic opportunity," Ryan said.

On Tuesday, the Obama campaign swiped back at efforts by the Romney campaign to highlight the "redistribution" comment.

?“The Romney campaign is so desperate to change the subject that they’ve gone back to the failed playbook co-authored by Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber," Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said. "Fourteen years ago, then-Senator Obama was making an argument for a more efficient, more effective government – specifically citing city government agencies that he didn’t think were working effectively. He believed then, and believes now, that there are steps we can take to promote opportunity and ensure that all Americans have a fair shot if they work hard.

Luther is displaying her mixed-media paintings in the lobby at Classic Cinemas North Riverside through the movie chain's local artist program. Canvases are shellacked with recipe cards from estate sales, letters and postcards, quilt squares and pieces of vintage sewing patterns - which she says are a comment on female body image.

"Patterns are so bossy. They're always saying things like 'cut to unfold,' telling you where the darts go and how to be."

Luther, who teaches at the Marwen Institute in Chicago, is primarily a jeweler, and is trained as an appraiser. An avid thrift store shopper, she gets a kick out of casting doll shoes, tiaras and other plastic toys in silver or platinum. She also creates buttons, beads and tchotchkes with precious metal clays.

But lately, as a home-schooling, stay-at-home mom of two daughters and a son, ages 13 to 4, she finds it harder to use her blowtorch, stamps, awls, silicone molds and 20-ton hydraulic press.

"I'm working on painting more," she said, standing in her home studio, blocked off by a baby gate.

"Before I had kids, I had lots of time, but nothing to say. Now, with three kids, I have no time, but I have something to say, and I'm not afraid," she said.

Castaway trash can also open a window into the deepest of human experiences.

In a Day of the Dead shrine for her fourth daughter, Sophia, who died in 2005 at age one, Luther carefully lined up 13 disposable plastic oral syringes. Her husband, a painter, photographer and social worker, is of Mexican descent, so the shrine honors that heritage.

By a set of painful coincidences, she and her family experienced the deaths of eight people - family members, friends and an infant - in less than a year.

"Tragedy makes you more compassionate," she said simply. Still, death makes Americans extremely uncomfortable. "It's very taboo to talk about, especially the death of a child," she said.

"Making the shrine was like spending more time with her."

Luther's other more serious pieces have included medals for awards you didn't want to receive. These were displayed at Chicago's Harold Washington Public Library's Incubator Project in May.

"The contest was to create medals for your secret identity, but I misinterpreted that as medals you would have in secret, that you wouldn't want to [publicly] earn."

Her Disappointment medal is engraved with the words "I expected more of myself by now." Her Some Gave All medal features a silver-cast doll leg in honor of veteran amputees and her Mothers of Dead Children medal features a silver-cast tiny doll. Each was attached to a black ribbon, each with a tiny rip in the Jewish tradition of mourning.

And the shattered auto glass? It is attached to Never Recovered, a medal for surviving a car crash.

"I don't make art jewelry just to be pretty, because what's the point of that?" she said. "The handmade jewelry market is over-saturated and unbelievably competitive."
