Woodward: Obama Proposing $250 Billion in Cuts To Medicare

Hypocrisy at it’s height here. On the campaign trail, Obama claims Romney will kill medicare. In actuallity, Obama says, “Oh, yeah, we have to cut it $250 billion over ten years.”

Excerpt:

BOB WOODWARD: He is tuned in to his own ambivalence, and in the reporting on this, it's very clear he realizes we face a problem that is not going to go away, that he's got to address. And there are documents that are floating around that I got and notes of meetings, and you see. For instance, on Medicare, he's now campaigning on “We're not going to cut Medicare.” And there are documents where last year he was saying, “Oh, yeah, we have to cut it $250 billion over ten years.”

JOE SCARBOROUGH, HOST: Wait. So you've got a document where Barack Obama is saying we've got to cut Medicare $250 billion, which I think is responsible. But his campaign team is going out there every day saying, “Watch out. We're not going to cut Medicare, but Mitt Romney is.”

“Watch out. We're not going to cut Medicare, but Mitt Romney is.”

That's the strategy .....

Accuse the opposition of doing what you actually plan to do.....

And make it out to be negative.

It's an old Lefty trick.
