Obama Campaign Shreds ‘Lies’ in Ryan Speech

[Truthseeker420]

A web ad produced by the Obama campaign highlights four lines from Ryan’s speech that Democrats say were downright “false.”
Ryan said Wednesday that $716 billion were “funneled out of Medicare by President Obama,” suggesting the administration had raided the program at the expense of beneficiaries.
In reality, the Affordable Care Act did not alter existing Medicare benefits as guaranteed by law but instead trimmed payments to service providers while reducing waste, fraud and abuse, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. Ryan also didn’t mention that he proposed the same $716 billion in Medicare savings in his signature budget.
(Republicans claim the trimmed payments will result in some lost benefits and higher costs, particularly for seniors with Medicare Advantage plans.)
Ryan also tied the president to the closure of a GM auto plant in Janesville, Wis., where Obama stumped in 2008 and pledged to help it stay open. But what Ryan didn’t mention is that that the plant produced its last GM car and transitioned to standby phase before Obama began his term.
“The president told the people of Wisconsin he would ‘lead an effort to retool’ it and restart production,” said Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck. “But when the bailout’s winners and losers were decided, Janesville ended up losing.” The plant remains closed.
On the $800 stimulus package, Ryan accused President Obama of “political patronage, corporate welfare and cronyism at their worst.” The congressman from Wisconsin did not mention, however, that he too sought a piece of the pie. Letters from his office and with his signature show that he appealed to federal officials for grants on behalf of two state energy conservation companies. (Ryan has since said the letters were mishandled.)
Democrats claim that perhaps the rankest hypocrisy from Ryan came when he slammed Obama for not embracing the deficit-reduction proposals of the Simpson-Bowles Commission. “He thanked them, sent them on their way and did exactly nothing,” Ryan said last night. Left unsaid is that Ryan, who was a member of the panel, voted against the same plan.

TAMPA, Fla. — Steve Rattner, who oversaw the Obama administration’s auto rescue, told TPM Thursday that Paul Ryan personally lobbied him in 2009 to intervene to reopen the Janesville, Wis., plant he cited in his convention speech on Wednesday.

Rattner recalled telling him the same thing he had told other lawmakers with similar requests: The White House left those decisions to the car companies.

too bad, so sad cons

Obama was baldface lying to those Janesville workers who await the government assistance in retooling for keeping the plant open for another 100 years, as he told them to expect if they voted for him?


Or was that, as usual, just his empty lies, as Ryan suggested?

Perhaps she is indignant at the notion that people should expect Obama to be good for his word.

obama picks and chooses his own winners and losers.

Democrats claim "obama farts and shreds Ryan's speech" has the same effect.

obama is being shredded as we speak. He will abandon both jobs and the economy as issues he can support and whole wholeheartedly into abortion, free contraception and same sex marriage. Unless, he has somehow had it impressed on him that support of gay marriage is losing him the black vote.

Auto Czar To Paul Ryan: We Don’t Decide Which Plants Stay Open | TPM2012

Ryan actually voted for the 2008 auto rescue, breaking with most of his Republican colleagues in the House as well as Mitt Romney. However, he frequently criticizes the Obama administration for “picking winners and losers” in the economy. A spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment on his conversation with Rattner.
