Obama Campaign Shreds ‘Lies’ in Ryan Speech

[Charles_Main]

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.

Wow ! Ryan is taking a beating.

I read this earlier on Yahoo and was stunned in how easy it is to refute the rebuttals on each of these four items.
The only thing more stunning than this bullshit is the continuing assumption, and in the case of the Democrat base a well founded assumption, that the people are so utterly stupid.

Anyone who thinks cutting payments to medicare providers will have no adverse effect on patients is as stupid as your average liberal.
Obama said specifically that the GM plant would remain open for "100 years".
Nothing in Ryan's description of the stimulus was inaccurate. As a Senator, it's on him to look out for his constituency and passing on hundreds of billions that could benefit his state while we're wasting "stimulus" on studies on work load distribution within ant colonies is NOT helping his state. Nor is accepting what would have otherwise been wasted funds the same as supporting said "stimulus".
Obama not only dismissed Simpson-Bowles, he's ignored Bernanke and just about every economic adviser he's had leading many to return to the make believe world of academics while they still held a shred of credibility in their own field.

Taking a beating?
I so love that you believe that crap. You're going to feel like you were run over by a freight train on November 7th...Good thing there will be compassionate individuals like me here to offer you support.

 

[Papageorgio]

They don't call Ryan (R) "the Lyin' King" for nuthin'

The Lyin King was a reference to William Jefferson Clinton, back in the day.

 

[naturegirl]

It's hysterical, the MSM and the Obama camp are in a complete tizzy, they are knit picking every word based on Obama's exposed lies.

You have to believe they are in a complete frenzy.

 

[Wry Catcher]

ABC campaigning for Obama, say it ain't so

Do you know who owns ABC?

 

[Stephanie]

I guess this is suppose to make people feel better

from the Allbarackchannel article

but instead trimmed payments to service providers

No, I don't have to believe anything without evidence. Anyone who suggests the MSM is biased is a fool, brainwashed by Rush Limbaugh or other AM radio philosphers.

It's embarrassing.
Holding the right to a standard that when applied to themselves is written off as blatant racism makes me want to puke.
Nearly every unscripted word to come out of the boy king's mouth is followed up by weeks of creative translation and claims of being taken out of context. Meanwhile they are forced to employ the same creativity to even begin to find issue to take with this Republican ticket.

How utterly dirty does Obama's America feel?!!!

***UTTER AND COMPLETE THREAD FAIL***​

This bull shit has all been debunked six times over, yet the MELT DOWN LEFTISTS keep trying to REGURGITATE it.

Well, libtards, your PATHETICNESS is quickly becoming LEGENDARY in scale.

Ryan lied about this for example:

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

BENJY SARLIN AUGUST 30, 2012, 5:14 PM 1657
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

Yeah. It is pretty sad when jobs are leaving.

Actually Bush thought it was pretty good. The Bush White House supported the GM closing of the Janesville plant during his term, said GM was "adapting well."

05/06/2008 - General Motors predicted Tuesday the end of the era of gasoline guzzlers as it announced plans to close four North American truck and sport utility vehicle plants and ramp up production of new fuel-efficient vehicles.

The White House called the announcement a sign that the auto giant was "adapting well" to market shifts.

"It's a sign that Detroit continues to adapt and evolve and address the change in consumer tastes and attitudes. And I think that they're adapting well," spokeswoman Dana Perino said.

GM plans to shutter production at its Toluca, Mexico, pickup truck at the end of the year and its Oshawa, Canada, plant will be closed in 2009. Plants in Moraine, Ohio, and Janesville, Wisconsin, are slated for closure in 2010 "or sooner if market demand dictates," GM said.

Petty and insignificant criticisms of Paul Ryan's speech won't change one thing: Hope and Change was the biggest lie in American history....

Stop, you're killing me, my tummy hurts.

It’s unsurprising that Romney and Ryan would lie, given their lack of respect for the American voter, and their lack of integrity overall.

Also unsurprising is that most conservatives subscribing to this thread are failing to address the topic, they instead engage in deflection and personal attack.

Sweet Jesus, Ryan didn't lie........I can't believe the left doesn't get the joke, it was all true.

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?

Just another shovel ready campaign lie from Barack Hussein Obama
