The senator flips to another couple of slides that show how wildly 
successful the Obama administration's economic policies have been. Since 
the president took office, middle-class incomes have dropped by an 
average of $4,520 while health-care premiums have risen by about $3,000.

"I just lay out the case," he says of his PowerPoint presentations back 
in Wisconsin. "After that 45 minutes, people come up to me. 'God bless 
you, senator, thank you. Boy, I so enjoyed that.' " He shakes his head, 
he says, and wonders: "What kind of masochist are you?"

Although everything he says sounds very depressing, Mr. Johnson delivers 
this cross-of-debt speech with a disarmingly sunny demeanor, not unlike 
Mr. Ryan. "As pointless as it has been and pointless as it may be," the 
senator says, "I'm not willing to give up hope on this country."

The November election offers a clear choice, he says, between "Mitt 
Romney, who is committed to fixing the problems and willing to take the 
risk of picking Paul Ryan�who's willing to take risks," and Mr. Obama, 
who "either doesn't understand" the problems, "which is possible, or he 
just thinks he can continue to sell the snake oil and hoodwink the 
American public."

Mr. Johnson notes that the number of times Mr. Obama has met with Senate 
Minority Leader Mitch McConnell "you can count on a couple fingers. I 
don't think he has much of a working relationship with Democrats." In 
the two years since Republicans took control of the House, "he hasn't 
governed at all. I'd argue he hasn't even made an attempt. . . . So just 
from a standpoint of governing, I don't think anything will get done 
with another four years of President Obama."

By contrast, a President Romney�with or without Senate control�would 
immediately stimulate the economy by sending the message that "America 
is open to business," Mr. Johnson says. Merely celebrating success and 
talking about making "America an attractive place for global investment, 
for global expansion�that would take $2.5 trillion off the sidelines."
