Obama's intent is to lower the budgetary of Medicare by $716 billion by controlling cost increases, waste, and fraud. A good enough goal that Ryan also included it in his plan, though to be fair Ryan intends to use the money that would have been spent there to cover the deficit projected by his tax cuts for the black tie and ball gown set.
You really don't get it do you? Every time we hear Obama say something that we believe is true, bump the truth counter. Doesn't matter if it's the same thing over and over! Three times last week Obama said the sun was going to rise in the east, there you go he told the truth three times. Sounds like a great scientific poll to me.
I would love to have a tit for tat about lies by Romney and Obama. Before you agree, you might check Romney's lies on Google.
It's safe to assume that you know absolutely nothing about the skeletons in BHO's closet from Cook County, Illinois. Ya know, the place where even the dead get a vote. It's pretty comical how many times you sway back and forth between this ploy of being a centrist and then go on the offensive about how the "other guy" is a bigger liar. Cook County is probably the most corrupt, backwards-assed county in the entire country. I suggest you do a bit of research.
As they say, bring it on. I have dozens of outright lies, from fact checkers. Show me 10, I'll show you 10, we'll go from there. The fact that I am overall a centrist, simply because I am a fiscal conservative, should not matter. I admit again, to being a legitimate left leaning person. Yes, a liberal. Big deal.
Your talking about semantics, and it doesnt matter if Ryan was going to use it. The fact is that Obama took 716 billion out of medicare to pay for Obamacare, THATS AN INDISPUTABLE FACT. They can sugar coat it any way that they want by saying "We are elminating waste fraud and abuse" but the statement is true, and benefits will go down as a result, cause doctos arent just going to bite that bullet. Do you think that if the roles were reversed a republican came in and chopped medicare in half and used it to pay for tax cuts saying "all we are doing is eliminate waste fraud and abuse." Then some dem started going after them for it, you think politifact would rank the statement false? Here is an even more accurate statement from Romney where he simply says "Dems took 716 billion out of medicare to pay for obamacare" This statement is 100% ACCURATE on Romney's part. He didnt even use the word "robbed" and they somehow come to the conclusion that the statement is only half true. Politifact is a joke.
And it's an "indisputable fact" that Ryan wants to take it out and give it to the rich (whose taxes he'll cut) so that the deficit doesn't get worse.
Lie straight from Obama's mouth, today "No one accused Romney of committing a felony" Who wants to place a bet as to whether this gets rated on politifact? <iframe src='http://widget.newsinc.com/single.html?WID=1&VID=23782013&freewheel=69016&sitesection=breitbartprivate' height='320' width='425' scrolling='no' frameborder='0' marginwidth='0' marginheight='0'></iframe>
