The issue is that Ryan used a preplanned stunt that would supposedly give him the image of caring about those in trouble and those that don't get to live to the standards that he does. Every politician does it, so I'm not specifically blaming Ryan for it. What bothers me is the statement the stunt makes which is, "I think you're too stupid to notice when I'm so obviously trying to sell a carefully crafted, false image of myself."
