I saw the interview. On the Medicare issue, the GOP just has to say that Obama has already taken $716 billion out of Medicare. It is the law. Moreover, current Medicare recipients will be affected by the so-called Death Panel—an unelected group of bureaucrats making life and death decisions. And the only control is that it takes two-thirds of Congress (a very high bar) to overrule its decisions. Otherwise it can do whatever it wants.
Paul Ryan is sharp, concise, and on message. Great first solo interview. The Romney camp’s plan to turn the Medicare argument back on to the Democrats, as evidenced by their new ad that illustrates Obama’s $716 billion cuts to Medicare, is a great move to counter all the lies and distortions coming from the left.
