AARP bristles at new Obama ad on Medicare

The AARP plays a starring role in President Barack Obama's new ad defending his record on Medicare. But that doesn't mean the group has to like it.

Hours after the Democrat's campaign released its new commercial, AARP Senior Vice President John Hishta bluntly denied any involvement in the ad and scolded Obama (as well as Republican challenger Mitt Romney).

"The next president and Congress will decide the future of Medicare, and the candidates owe voters straight talk—not just 30-second ads—about what their plans will mean for today's seniors and future retirees," Hishta said in a statement.

"We were not aware of nor have any involvement with this campaign ad. AARP is a nonpartisan organization and we do not endorse political candidates," Hishta said. "For the last 26 years, we've been providing voters with balanced information, without all the political jargon and spin, so they can make their own decisions on Election Day."

Yeah. Right. Maybe they are coming to their senses.

I just read the article, you would think Obama and his campaign staff would know who they had in their back pocket.

Yeah, just ask blacks, Jews, women, gays, and just about every other demographic Dems claim to be "lookin' out for" until the votes are in.
