Now that Mitt Romney has named Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan as his running-mate on the Republican ticket, dishonest liberals are dusting off their old standby of "Mediscare," making false accusations that conservatives want to completely dismantle Medicare and Social Security simply because they wish to make some changes in order to preserve them. Democrats, it is implied, would never dare to change such programs.

Unfortunately for this argument, there is one prominent liberal Democrat who has not only reduced Medicare spending growth, he's even touted his willingness to do the same to Social Security.

That liberal Democrat is none other than President Barack Obama.

Uh, no. The video above this article shows a CNN ‘reporter’ lieing and saying there is no cut to Medicare. They will all just continue to lie. That’s what they do even when presented with facts.

Obama was the first potus in history to offer no yearly increase to those on SS.

Cook the books and change how inflation is figured, easy as pie. Obama screwed seniors.

The question asked when the two idiot Bull Dykes rushd Ryans podium yesterday was. Will you cut Medicare,

Ryan should have answered that Obama had already cut it by 716 Billion dollars.

The new definition of 'journalist' is a person who can read and re-write DNC press releases. I suspect Dems aren't going to feed the above truth to their shills in the MSM - so it won't make the 'news'. Eff ABC,CNN, NBC and CBS and all their so called 'news' people. Oh - and the New York Times...
