Paul Ryan has offered an alternative to Obamacare that embraces free market measures to keep prices down. Not only that, but he worked with a Democrat, Ron Wyden (D-OR), to get bipartisan support. It sounds like he is offering not just rhetoric, but ideas, and not just ideas but ideas that can span across the aisle. That’s not the only one either. He also came out with a plan to fix the congress’ budget process (The 2012 state of the union marked the 1,000th day since congress passed a budget). He’s become a true leader in the senate by offering real solutions to America’s problems.

Eric Cantor is the only Jewish Republican in congress, and is known for fighting for Israel’s safety. The Republican Congressman from western Richmond, VA is currently working on a bill that would make insider trading illegal for not just congressmen and senators, but also executive office employees. In his State of the Union Address, Barack Obama exclaimed his willingness to sign a bill that would stop congressmen and senators from profiting from stock moves based on non-public information. Congressman Cantor is taking it a step further, making the bill apply to a wider group of government officials and applying to more than just stock trades. Fighting the corruption in Washington with action rather than rhetoric. Who could disagree with that?

Why is this my presidential dream ticket? Well, it’s not just that they both come from swing states, which would give a Ryan-Cantor ticket a big electability advantage, and it’s not just that they offer solutions rather than just rhetoric. Is it because they’ve shown the ability to reach across the aisle? No. Is it because Eric Cantor fights for Israel or that Paul Ryan has some bright ideas about economic issues? No.

All of these are great and legitimate reasons why this could be an amazing duo for the executive office someday, but the real reason, the single most important for our country, the reason I believe you should support a Ryan-Cantor presidential ticket is the aurora of the name, “Ryan-Cantor.” Just think of the marketing! For some reason it just resonates. Who could vote against “Ryan-Cantor“? I couldn’t tell you anyone. It sounds so… familiar. It just sounds like their message would really hit home for me. It comes off the tongue so naturally. I know that I, Ryan Kantor, would fiercely support “Ryan-Cantor“!

There’s certainly an element of nostalgia with the signing of Prince Fielder, as his father, Cecil, made his hay with the Detroit Tigers in the early 90s. In fact, Cecil Fielder hit 245 home runs for the Tigers, and Prince spent his youth in Detroit.

The thought of facing Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder in the same lineup is downright scary. The duo will certainly make the best 3-4 combo in the league, assuming Jim Leyland sets it up that way. Let’s not get carried away though. They didn’t just add Prince Fielder, they replaced Victor Martinez with Prince Fielder. No doubt that’s an upgrade, but it’s still not quite the same. Alex Avila has thrived as the Tiger’s primary catcher so when Victor Martinez returns from injury he’ll retake his DH spot with Miguel Cabrera moving over to third base to accommodate Fielder. His return will round out a great Tigers lineup, but until then, it’s not really a murder’s row.

Delmon Young was a key piece to re-sign, and Austin Jackson very well may bounce back, but after that the lineup consists of: Brandon Inge, Jhonny Peralta, Ramon Santiago, Alex Avila, Ryan Raburn, and Brennan Boesch. So you see why they splurged on Prince Fielder?

Now, all us fans of other AL team’s should not get too frightened right away. Justin Verlander is the best pitcher in baseball, but he can’t possibly repeat last year’s MVP season. I’d also expect Peralta to regress. The Tigers are prohibitive AL Central favorites, but I’m not quite ready to call them the World Series favorites. For now, they’ll have to share that distinction with the Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Angels, and New York Yankees. I may include the Phillies in that list as well.

As for the contract itself…it’s really long and Prince Fielder isn’t exactly built like Alex Rodriguez or Albert Pujols. If Andruw Jones had signed a nine-year contract after his age 27 season he’d still have two year’s remaining. Imagine the position the Braves would be mired in if they were stuck paying Andruw Jones some $20 million annually. Jones hit 250 home runs through his age 27 season (Fielder has hit 230), and is a power hitter built more like Fielder than either Rodriguez or Pujols so the comparison is pretty fair. I think we’ll see Prince be very effective for the first half his contract, and then likely decline hard. That’s the price you pay to sign a superstar these days. The Tigers are just hoping they can win their first World Series since 1984 in the next couple years while they have Fielder, Cabrera, and Martinez in their primes.

President Obama started the speech by highlighting that we don’t have troops in Iraq for the first time in nine years. He was eager to mention the assassination of Bin Laden saying, ”For the first time in two decades Osama Bin Laden is not a threat to this country.” For that, he received a standing ovation, as it’s one of the few issues that just about everyone is in agreement on. In what I thought was the strongest portion of the speech, Obama praised our servicemen in uniform, really getting everyone on his side early.

Referencing those heroes serving our country, he asked listeners to “imagine what we could accomplish if we follow their example.” He proceeded to share a vision of a beautiful flourishing America. He mentioned high-tech manufacturing jobs and energy independence.”We can do this. I know we can because we’ve done it before.” I found it particularly interesting that he paid so much attention to the manufacturing sector. This compares interestingly with Rick Santorum who has also focused on manufacturing and explained that the regulations and taxes on US manufacturers create 20% greater costs (excluding labor costs) as compared to our top trade partners. Santorum has proposed cutting their corporate tax rate to 0% and repealing Obama’s regulations.

Similar to Mitt Romney‘s line about this election being about the “soul of America” Obama said “we have to reclaim them [American values].” Then dissimilar to what Romney and many would say is consistent with American values, he began to start his attacks on the most wealthy Americans. He described how the wealthy got richer and the poor were struggling and then the “house of cards” collapsed in 2008. He assured that his new rules will hold Wall Street accountable so a crisis like this never happens again.

He really got his fellow Democrats fired up when he said he’d strongly fight against those who’d like to move us back to the policies that got us into this mess, a subtle shot at the previous administration. One of the biggest triumphs of his economic theory was GM’s positive response to government intervention. Obama exclaimed, “GM is back on top as the world’s number one auto-maker…What’s happening in Detroit can happen in other industries.” It’s the second sentence that rings especially loudly, and I’ll reference it again shortly.

The President then mentioned that his administration has brought up twice as many trade cases against China as compared to the Bush administration. He announced plans to create a new governmental body to investigate and check for unfair trade practices, primarily in dealing with China. While he was on the topic of China he mentioned that we have to protect our intellectual property rights, an obvious reference to the SOPA debate and likely a plea to his friends in Hollywood, telling them I’m still looking out for you.

Something I found a little hypocritical was his call to “turn our unemployment system into a re-employment system.” He has pushed extension after extension of unemployment benefits so now one can receive those benefits for nearly two years (99 weeks). Unemployment benefits have been statistically proven to dramatically increase the time it takes for one to re-enter the workforce, so I felt his rhetoric was intellectually dishonest. He also mentioned skill training which conservatives love to hear and heard from Newt Gingrich  in a recent debate.

In what I thought was the boldest part of the speech, President Obama called for every state to pass a law requiring everyone to stay in high school until they graduate or turn 18.

Obama then turned his attention to immigration. He argued that his administration has put more (federal) troops on the ground to defend the border, and that’s why there are less illegal border crossing. The slow economy, especially in the construction industry likely played a greater role in any reduction than any direct government action. (On a sidebar, how could they figure how many undetected illegal border crossing there are? Wouldn’t they have to see them to count them?) Of course, his Department of Justice also sued Arizona, Alabama, and South Carolina for enforcing immigration laws on a state level. 

The President is ready to open more than 75% of offshore gas resources. American oil production is the highest it’s been in eight years–both are good news. He wants to create 600,000 jobs around our natural gas resources. Further, he said “I will not walk away from the promise of clean energy,” even saying some subsidies will fail obviously referencing Solyndra. He continued to talk about exploring our energy options and more spoke about jobs created via infrastructure projects without direct mention of the Keystone XL Pipeline. He later called for an extension on the payroll tax cut with nothing attached, a reference to the pipeline. After stopping construction on an infrastructure project that would have create 20,000 direct jobs these promises don’t seem that genuine. I thought this was one of the weaker parts of the speech as he was defensive about Solyndra and doesn’t appear genuine about energy and infrastructure to anyone who supported the Keystone XL Pipeline.

He moved his attention to regulations and the economy, saying “no bailouts, no handouts, and no cop-outs…we won’t bail you out again.” Republicans loved this line in Frank Luntz’s dial testing. What I thought was interesting though was that earlier he said what was happening in Detroit because of the auto bailout could happen in other cities. I don’t understand how the two can be reconciled. No bailouts, but we can do more bailouts and revive a city like we did in Detroit? I may have missed something, I admittedly made some nachos at one point during the speech.

He then unveiled what we were all waiting for, the Buffett Rule. He argued that those who make more than a million dollars a year shouldn’t pay under 30%. This specifically targets investors that pay capital gains taxes and subtly references Mitt Romney’s tax release. This is a divisive issue that Republicans and Democrats strongly disagree on. In what was the most partisan moment of the speech Obama pitted those making under $200,000 against the very wealthy essentially saying we can cut your taxes if we tax them more. Conservatives are willing to sacrifice fairness for everyone’s overall well-being while many liberals are willing to sacrifice everyone’s well-being for the sake of fairness. Definitely click here to view an extremely interesting video of Obama debating Hillary Clinton on this topic.

Finally, President Obama assured the American people that we are not prepared to allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. This was a great moment and while some may be skeptical, it was good to hear nonetheless. He finished off by promising his “iron clad commitment to Israel’s safety,” despite just recently calling them to give away land and return to 1967 borders.

Overall the speech was well articulated, but I thought some points were inconsistent with his actions and thus misleading. What did you think? Please share your thoughts and as always with the political posts, please keep the comments respectful.

Now don’t mistake me for an overexcited Rangers fan ready to jump on the Darvish bandwagon. This is a considerably risky move. The Rangers, a franchise at their very pinnacle, will be devastated if Darvish is a bust and his contract prevents them from re-signing key pieces like Ian Kinsler. The Rangers paid $51.7 million as a posting fee and another $60 million for the actual contract. Here’s the year-by-year breakdown. His contract is back-loaded.

Here’s why he could be a resounding success. Unlike Daisuke Matsuzaka, who was supposed to be the greatest thing since fried rice, Darvish works off a fastball. Just about every pitcher in baseball (save knuckleballers) uses a fastball as their primary pitch and then uses breaking and off-speed pitches to vary off of that. Many felt Matsuzaka could be dominant because he was so different, but what many others feared ended up being the case. He nibbled too much, threw too many pitches, and walked too many hitters. Darvish worked on being more aggressive last season. He only walked 36 batters. Darvish has played five seasons in Japan, and only once posted an WHIP over 1.00. He’s never posted and ERA over 2.00. In those five seasons he allowed 39 home runs. By contrast, AJ Burnett allowed 31 home runs last season.

Darvish has been totally dominant in the Japanese league, and while we may want to stick our nose up at their league, let’s not forget who the defending World Baseball Classic Champions are and who closed out that championship for them (if you didn’t guess, it was Japan and Yu Darvish). Here is a great article by Yahoo Sports on Yu Darvish. It explains that each of his five seasons in Japan was better than Matsuzaka’s very best season. He’s got a nasty fork ball (basically a strong sinker), he’s consistent, he eats innings… Sure, playing in Texas will be a tough billing with the summer heat and the hitter friendly ballpark, but a schedule heavy on Oakland, Seattle, and Houston should make it more manageable than it sounds. The overexcitement about previous Japanese pitchers and their subsequent failures has made everyone (except those in the Texas Ranger front office) skeptical about another hot-shot Japanese pitcher, but the opportunity to watch Darvish is just another reason I can’t wait until baseball season.

“Shinedown has announced the upcoming release of their much anticipated new album. Entitled ‘Amaryllis,’ the record will arrive in stores and at all digital retailers on March 27.”

Music snobs often lump Shinedown in with the mash of other similar bands like Three Doors Down and Puddle of Mud. With their new album Shinedown plans to break through the clutter and demonstrate their continued growth. Brent Smith explains:

“I’ve always seen Shinedown as its own entity – this living thing that’s been growing and developing and evolving over the past 10 years. During the recording, the vision of what Shinedown is and where it’s going became completely clear. ‘Amaryllis’ is the manifestation of that vision, the centerpiece of what Shinedown is. It reflects on everything we’ve done and where we’re heading.”

The band has released the album’s first single, “Bully.” Below is the video–one of the very best lyric videos I’ve ever seen. The song itself though may leave fans of Shinedown’s early more unrefined, raw sound concerned about what the new album may hold. I expect a continued evolution of their sound, and I think that’s good as it shows artistic growth. “Amaryllis” is set to be released in about two months, and it’s one I’m looking forward to.

It was expected that Newt Gingrich would give Romney a tough race in South Carolina, but nobody was expecting Gingrich to win by over 75,000 votes and 12%. It’s interesting to note that his second wife’s comments which many thought would ruin his election hopes, didn’t have a negative impact. He handled questions about the issue so well, most notably in the debate, he diffused any crash that could have happened and even seemed to benefit from being the center of attention.

Gingrich will pick up quite a bit of momentum from this strong win, but as Karl Rove explained, let’s not mistake this victory for a historic blowout, as the average margin of victory in South Carolina’s GOP primary is 17%. The only piece of history from today’s win is that this is the first time we’ve had a different winner in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina. Romney still holds the most delegates at the moment, which in the end will decide the nominee.

Santorum looks on. He’ll need a respectable performance in Florida so he can go on to what he calls “neutral turf” with sufficient momentum, and more importantly, the resources to compete.

In Newt Gingrich’s victory speech he spoke harshly about what another term with President Obama would be like, asking America to “imagine how radical he would be in a second term.”

He stood up for those of faith in our country saying, “one issue is the growing anti-religious bigotry of our elites.” He more specifically referenced a judge in San Antonio who threatened to jail any superintendent who allowed a school to use the words “invocation,” “benediction,” or “God,” recite a public prayer, or hold a moment of silence in a graduation ceremony.

Even after racial criticism for calling President Obama the “best food stamp president,” Newt refused to relent, asserting that “historically, President Obama has been the best food stamp president in American history…I want to be the best pay check president in American history.”

He also touched on America’s lack of energy independence, an issue on which President Obama is particularly vulnerable. “I want America to become so energy independent that no American president ever again bows to a Saudi king,” referencing a moment early in Obama’s presidency on a trip to Saudi Arabia. He continued by promising to authorize sequestration of our natural resources on day one. He then criticized President Obama for stopping the Keystone Pipeline which would have created jobs through the building of the pipeline, the maintenance for the pipeline, and the refining of the oil, and explained why President Obama did so “…because Barack Obama is taking care of his left-wing friends in San Francisco.”

What’s your take on Newt Gingrich’s big win?

After resigning to the fact that the Yankees may not make a major move this off-season, Yankee fans were hit with two huge moves that may transform a lousy rotation into a deep, World Series caliber group. One that could even be called the strength of the team.

After months of hearing that Hiroki Kuroda was uncomfortable moving to New York and would either remain in Los Angeles or head back to his native Japan, the AP has reported that the two parties have struck a 1-year, $10 million pact. Kuroda is 36 years of age, but his age is not a concern to me and evidently not too big of a concern to Brian Cashman. Last season Kuroda posted MLB career bests in wins, innings pitched, strikeouts, and ERA–finishing the year with 13 wins, 202 IP, 161 Ks, and a 3.07 ERA. Barring unforeseen injury I don’t think a 17 win, 3.60 ERA season is an unreasonable expectation.

In the same day that Yankee fans heard Kuroda would don pinstripes, they also learned that star prospect, Jesus Montero, was traded. The reaction went something like this, “Oh no, they gave away another star prospect. We always do this! This is terrible… Wow, we got Michael Pineda. Hmmm, he’s pretty young, huh (22)? Wow, with Kuroda AND Pineda our rotation is pretty good now. I think I like this deal. Wow, we may win the World Series!”

Prior to Transactions

1. CC Sabathia
2. Ivan Nova
3. Freddy Garcia
4. Phil Hughes
5. AJ Burnett

After Transactions

1. CC Sabathia
2. Michael Pineda
3. Hiroki Kuroda
4. Ivan Nova
5. Garcia/Hughes

With Posada retiring and Montero now on his way to the Pacific Northwest, the Yankees may have created a hole at the DH slot. This may have been intentional though, as they now can give Eduardo Nunez plenty of playing time on the left side of the infield while keeping Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter well rested. The rotation looks fantastic, with two potentially dominant pitchers at the top of the rotation and an incredible amount of depth. The Yankees still need to add a lefty in the bullpen to help Boone Logan, but suddenly baseball season can’t start soon enough. The Mariners and Yankees, after failing to consummate a Cliff Lee deal, reunited to strike a seemingly win-win trade. The Evil Empire is back.

With that being said, I’m not a Romney-hater searching for the best “anti-Romney,” nor am I a supporter of his. That gives me an open mind to evaluate the pros and cons of him as the GOP nominee. I may go back and add more later, but here’s what comes to mind. Please add pros and cons that you can think of in the comments. For every con try to add a pro and vice versa.

PRO

• He’s the only GOP candidate that when pitted against President Obama in a hypothetical 2012 matchup defeats him (by 2% overall and by 6% with independents according to FNC). He’s often credited as being the most electable candidate and these statistics lend credence to that argument. (Update: Newt Gingrich loses to President Obama by 9%, 1/23/2012)

CON

• He’s more electable because he’s more liberal than the other candidates. The Wall Street Journal called his job growth plan timid and more like Obama’s (than other candidates). He has deemed his own views “progressive,” said he’d be better for gay rights than Ted Kennedy, and promised to be a pro-choice governor.

PRO

• Mitt Romney has committed to cutting spending to 20% of GDP.

• Government revenues are typically 18% of GDP meaning even if Mitt accomplishes this goal we’ll still be running a deficit. His ideas are not bold enough, and he’s rather moderate.

PRO

• Mitt Romney‘s experience in the private sector is stellar. Some, including fellow Republicans Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry, have attacked his tenure at Bane Capital and called him a corporate raider. Romney has proven that he created a net job growth while there, thoroughly debunking that argument. Rick Santorum called the criticism unfounded last night on Fox News. Mitt did great work for Staples while working with Bane Capital and then worked with the Olympics. He really understands business at a level that President Obama simply does not and is much more qualified to handle the economy.

CON

• While his private sector experience is fantastic and his tenure as Massachusetts governor seems to have been quite successful, he lacks foreign policy experience. We haven’t heard him say much about foreign policy in speeches or debates either.

PRO

• He has unequivocally stated conservative social values, yet hasn’t been viciously attacked and demonized by the media like someone with similar views such as Rick Santorum.

CON

• As much as he wants to say about his social views, it’s hard to believe they are strongly held convictions when they differ so wildly from what he said about his social views when running in the very liberal state of Massachusetts.

• When asked if he would stand behind his negative ads against Rick Santorum, Ron Paul didn’t back down. The ad accuses Rick Santorum of being a corrupt big government guy among other things. Paul cited a liberal activist group (CREW) that called him corrupt, his vote against right-to-work laws, and five votes for raising the national debt limit.
• Rick Santorum defended himself by pointing out that the corruption charges came from a very left-wing organization saying (paraphrasing) ”you’re not conservative if you haven’t been attacked by CREW.” He explained that he was one of the few guys working on entitlement reform back when we were running a surplus, and that the debt ceiling increases were necessary to keep the government running and he always worked to tie-in spending decreases. He also noted that unlike Ron Paul, he is not a Libertarian, he is a conservative.
• Rick Perry claimed to be the only outsider that has not been part of the Washington problem (despite sending lobbyists to Washington to lobby for earmarks for Texas).
• Jon Huntsman argued for congressional term limits.
• Ron Paul claimed that our drug laws and judicial system are racist, because many more African-Americans are arrested on drug charges than Caucasians, despite comparable drug usage. He went on to ask, (paraphrasing) “when was the last time you saw a rich white man get the electric chair?” He said this in response to accusations about his 20 year-old newsletters which apparently contained inappropriate racial commentary.
• Newt Gingrich explained that the sacrament of marriage is of enormous, 3,000 year old, foundation for our country. He also said that everyone should be treated with respect, and there should be ways to give hospital visitation rights, include partners in wills, etc. Multiple candidates including the “moderate” Mitt Romney endorsed a constitutional amendment to define marriage as between a man and woman.
• Newt Gingrich informed the audience that following Massachusetts’ decision to guarantee the right to marriage for same-sex couples, the state government attempted to force the Catholic Church to comply with a state law saying that homosexual-couples must be allowed to adopt children. The church’s non-compliance forced the shutdown of their adoption services in the state. The Catholic Church was responsible for about half of the adoption placements in Massachusetts. This was one of the more interesting talking points. Everyone on the stage seemed to agree with Gingrich when he pointed out how same-sex marriage has repercussions that aren’t being talked about by the biased media.
• Santorum argued that the foreign policy weakness displayed by the Obama administration is culpable for what we are seeing from Iran, with their military exercises practicing closing the Straight of Hormuz.
• Rick Perry literally said “I would send troops back into Iraq.” When asked if he agreed, Newt Gingrich flatly said no without showing up or confronting Perry.
• Gingrich said we need to be more energy independent so “an American President never again bows to a Saudi king,” referencing Obama bowing down to a Saudi king earlier in his Presidential tenure.
• Mitt Romney said something that all conservatives will love, (paraphrasing) ”government can do some things to create jobs, but by-in-large they get in the way.”
• Rick Santorum said he would repeal all of Obama’s 150+ regulations (something he can do immediately) and replace them with more reasonable ones or not replace them at all.
• Mitt Romney continued to push his new slogan, exclaiming that “this election is about the soul of America.” He makes a good point and makes one question where the country is headed, a question he likely wants voters to ask themselves as most have indicated that they feel the country is headed in the wrong direction.
• Newt Gingrich pointed out that the Wall Street Journal called Mitt Romney’s job creation plan timid and more like Obama’s in comparison to his own. Santorum agreed that Mitt’s plans aren’t bold and added he didn’t like to talk about “middle-class,” “upper-class,” etc, as he has grown tired of all the class warfare (referencing recent rhetoric from President Obama).
• “I’d be at the shooting range” was Rick Perry’s response to the final question, what would you be doing on a Saturday night if you weren’t running for President.

What did you think? Did I miss anything big?
