This morning, Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter appeared on Face The Nation, where she discussed Obamacares $700 billion cuts to Medicare. She touted those cuts as an achievement:
Well, you know ask the wealthy to pay a little bit more. Cut waste from the government. Reform Medicare. More than $300 billion in savings from Medicare. On top of the savings weve already achieved. You know I heard Mitt Romney deride the $700 billion cuts in Medicare that the president achieved through health care reform.
This is how Paul Ryans selection has already shifted the debate. Now the Obama campaign is forced to tout its Medicare cuts as achievements. Thats a far cry from the leftists who dominate the Obama camp, who must be crying into their beers at this point just yesterday, Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, was urging Obama to draw a clear contrast in 2012 by promising not to cut one penny from Medicare or Social Security benefits.

from Medicare to give to Illegal Aliens ! Obamacare has just stolen a TRILLION DOLLARS
contrast that in a commercial QUICK.
Well crap. Wish they would make up their minds.
They’re now saying Romney will kill Medicare.
Thanks Free ThinkerNY.
Liberalism is a mental disease.
Oh! Now its .7 trillion! It used to be .5
Medicare was fraught with waste but Obamacare will be even worse.
HAHA. They'd better inform Rachel Maddow of their new strategy because she was still trying to attack Ryan for wanting to cut Medicare.
Looks like Medicare if going to FINALLY be a campaign issue...but in the right way.
Remind the seniors you know that it was the Dems who voted to cut Medicare more than $one-TRILLION!
In fact, write a letter to the editor. Seniors read those.
CORRECTION:
Instead of “more than $one-TRILLION”, I should have said $more than $one-HALF trillion.
Ironically, the Democrats are the ones who made possible the "gutting" of Medicare that they, for so long, accused the Republicans of desiring. Politics sure is something, isn't it?
