User Clip: 110525 Cornyn Accused Obama of Lying About Republican Intentions Regarding Medicare

"Then the President, I think beneath the dignity of his office, verbally abused the very people who had the courage to propose an alternative. Then, of course, we have heard the attacks he started, which have continued, the false attacks that Republicans want to 'end Medicare as we know it.' Well, I will say Republicans do not want to end Medicare as we know it. That is an intentional falsehood. That is a lie. Republicans do not want to end Medicare as we know it. We are simply trying to inject some cold, hard reality, as observed by the President's own debt commission, by the Medicare trustees, and everyone else who has taken a responsible look at the problem." close
