TAMPA, FL- Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan says Mitt Romney is ready to meet "serious challenges in a serious way, without excuses and idle words."

Ryan's speech at the Republican National Convention Wednesday night praised Mitt Romney for his plans to lead the country, if elected president.

"After four years of getting the run-around, America needs a turnaround, and the man for the job is Governor Mitt Romney," according to an excerpt from the speech.  "His whole life has prepared him for this moment - to meet serious challenges in a serious way, without excuses and idle words."

The Republican congressman also says that he and Romney won't duck the tough issues and won't shirk from leading.

Ryan is pledging to solve the nation's economic problems and says "We don't have that much time."
