As Democrats attack Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan for their proposals regarding Medicare, Republicans are circulating this clip from a November 9, 2009 interview we had with President Obama in which he not only acknowledged that one third of his health care bill was paid for by cuts to Medicare, but that he would veto attempts to undo those cuts.

Watch the video below. The exchange on Medicare occurs at 2:15:

Something everyone should consider is they most people have payed into medicare most of their working life. Now, Obama is taking it away from you without your permission and spending it on something else. I think it’s around $700 Billion. Will we stand for this?

It is important for a Liar that they can remember the lies they told.

Obama and Company lie and don’t seem to care when they get caught in them, because the Media will not expose them.

Todays Media is owned and operated in the same way the media was operated in Hitlers Germany.They ignore journalism and work for the democrats.

Right at the beginning of this tape he states no federal dollars will pay for abortions.

Under our plan no federal dollars will be used to fund abortion!

Simple principle this is a health care bill, not an abortion bill. We are not seeking in funding for abortion!

Watch the beginning!

The Donks raided Medicare just like they raided social security.

So rather than have federal dollars pay for abortions, the federal Gov't is now FORCING health providers to pay for them against their conscience.

Obama the dictator.

Now, Obama is taking it away from you without your permission and spending it on something else.

It's not that he's spending on someTHING else, he's spending on someONE else.

Obama is saying that, now that you're older, your medical needs are not as important as the needs of the younger generation. Spending medical dollars on you is a bad investment vs. spending it on younger, more productive people.

You should just take the blue pill and go sit next to that glacier.
