Budget Hawk Ryan Rules Out White House Run

Wisconsin congressman and fierce budget hawk Paul Ryan has ruled out a 2012 bid for the White House. The Weekly Standard, which last week reported Ryan was considering entering the race, said the 41-year-old has decided against it. "I sincerely appreciate the support from those eager to chart a brighter future for the next generation," Ryan said. "While humbled by the encouragement, I have not changed my mind, and therefore I am not seeking our party's nomination for President." Ryan was said to be mulling a run because he is not satisfied with anyone in the current crop's ability to articulate and solve the nation's budgetary problems.
