2nd.
Tim Ryan
Ryan is a member of the "30 Something" Working Group,[3] which is a Congressional caucus that includes those members of the United States House of Representatives who are Democrats and have not yet reached the age of 40. It was organized by the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to energize and engage younger people in politics by focusing on issues that are important to them.[citation needed]
Ryan voted for the Stupak Amendment restricting federal funding for abortions. In March 2010, he stated that he will vote "Yes" on the Senate version of the Health Care bill lacking Stupak Amendment language.
Before the 2004 presidential election, Ryan spoke on the House floor in an impassioned speech denouncing the Bush administration's denial of a draft reinstatement, comparing this to the administration's previous claims that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction, the Bush tax cuts would create jobs, and other such claims. He repeated in September 2006 with an equally-heated speech criticizing what he felt to be the Bush administration's tendency to distract the public from key issues like the war in Iraq and the economy.
In an October 2010 interview with conservative magazine Human Events, Ryan said tax increases on small businesses were necessary "because we have huge deficits. We gotta shore up Social Security. We gotta shrink our deficits".

This guy's a Democrat and he still has the stones to criticize the Obama administration and acknowledge that they are carrying on the Bush war policies.

Are you sure? He mentioned the cost of the health care bill and the bailouts in this speech.

Well the video fooled me.
I guess this guy is just another partisan hack. If he had the courage to criticise the current administration, I would have more respect for him. If a Republican would stand up and say what he did in that speech, people might have more respect for them as well.
