Former Bush Official: Paul Ryan An 'Unfortunate Pick,' Has 'Very Thin' Foreign Affairs Record

by Laura Donovan

Not everyone with conservative ties cheered when Mitt Romney selected Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan as his presidential ticket running mate. Former Bush administration State Department official Christian Whiton appeared on Fox Saturday to address his concerns with the selection, asserting that Ryan is inexperienced with foreign policy and "too young" to become President.

....

When the Fox host mentioned that Whiton had worked on former presidential candidate Newt Gingrich’s campaign and was perhaps demonstrating “sour grapes” over losing, Whiton chuckled and responded, “Well I would say first of all Speaker Gingrich is static about this…But I think this is a poor choice on politics and substance.

Politically I don’t know why you’d want the number two on the ticket to outshine the top of the ticket on the key issues of the day — the deficit, the economy, jobs…Paul Ryan is too young for presidency…If he were to assume presidency, he’d be the youngest, he’d have no executive experience.”
