WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's senior campaign adviser David Axelrod says the Medicare changes supported by Rep. Paul Ryan, the likely Republican vice presidential candidate, would put the popular health-care plan for the elderly in "a death spiral."

Axelrod said on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday that Obama thinks Ryan is a friendly and intelligent man, but he disagrees with his ideas on the direction of government.

I am so tired of listening to this asshat complaining about Ryan and anyone who does not agree with his polcies on the budget. This guy cannot be that dumb to think these programs are going to roll on and one with no changes. Furthermore, I believe it was his boy, His Excellency, who recently rededicated 500 billion from Medicare to Obamacare. Seems to me he should be looking in the mirror when talking about whom is killing off Medicare.

Why do Obama and liberals get a pass, on the fact that Obamacare takes hundreds of billions out of Medicare? Obamacare and that money transfer will hasten the end of Medicare as we know it.

Yet nobody ever talks about that. Instead, Ryan is pilloried because his plan allegedly throws Granny off the cliff, while nobody says anything about how Obamacare threatens the financial future of Medicare.

ObamaCare steals more than $700 billion from MediCare.

Voting for Obama Biden is like purposely swallowing two tapeworms.

Obama and Axleface have put the USA on a death spiral. After the country is broke, who will pay for Medicare or anything else? Certainly not unemployed former taxpayers.

We must have misheard him
Axelrod: Ryan plan would lead to end of MEDIOCRE.
It is equally clear that Axeldouche hopes no one has noticed that Obamacare actually ends medicare before 2016, but he feels safe cause that won’t fit on a bumper sticker.

True! And the Dems have campaigned accusing Repubs of ending Medicare since thirty minutes after LBJ signed it into law.

A death spiral for an outdated plan is better than death panels for the elderly.
