Paul Ryan: Obama Waging 'Class Warfare'

The so-called Buffett Rule, President Obama's pending plan to raise taxes on the rich named for Warren Buffett, found an outspoken critic in Paul Ryan today, Politico reports. "Class warfare might make for good politics, but it makes for bad economics," the House Budget Committee chairman tells Fox News Sunday, warning that such a move would drag down job creation and send the economy reeling backward. "We think this is going in the wrong direction," Ryan said. Elsewhere on your Sunday dial, as per Politico:

• Mitch McConnell on the Buffett Rule: "It's a bad thing to do in the middle of an economic downturn. That's not going to get the economy working."
• Lindsey Graham on 2012: "President Obama has done everything he knows how to do to beat himself. Everything is worse."
• Bill Clinton on James Carville's call for White House heads to roll: "The president never does the country any good by panicking."
• Clinton on Dick Cheney's suggestion Hillary should run: One of Cheney’s "great skills is sowing discord among the opposition. And I think he, by saying something nice about her, knew that it might cause a little trouble.”
• Cheney on Clinton's remarks: "I just thought that Democrats ought to have as much fun on their side as we are on our side (in the 2012 nomination race)."
