Campaigning in Roanoke Wednesday, Paul Ryan called Obama's economy - with the CBO predicting a forth straight year of trillion dollar deficits - is experiencing an 'imaginary recovery.'

He said last summer was going to be the summer of recovery," Ryan said. "It's a summer later and it's still worse. He said that the private sector is doing just fine, we need more government. This is President Obama's imaginary recovery. It's not here.

Ryan was introduced onstage by Chris McMurray, the owner of Crumb and Get it Bakery, who -- the campaign was quick to note -- made local headlines after declining a visit from Vice President Joe Biden, citing the president's remarks as reason to refuse the request.
