President Barack Obama on Friday released a new television advertisement on Medicare which serves as a rebuttal to a sharp ad his Republican challenger introduced on Tuesday.

The Obama campaign ad issues direct counterpoints to the two issues raised in Mitt Romney's earlier ad – first, that Obama's health care reform has cut billions from Medicare and, second, that the plans supported by the Romney ticket would "strengthen (Medicare) for the next generation."

"You paid in to Medicare for years - every paycheck. Now, when you need it, Obama has cut $716 billion dollars from Medicare," Romney's ad says.

The Obama spot rebuts: "The non-partisan AARP says Obamacare 'cracks down on Medicare fraud, waste, and abuse,' and strengthens guaranteed benefits."

11. Why are those people always so ANGRY?

Seriously, though, I hope the Obama campaign has bought up a lot of tv slots for this ad in Florida.

3. I'm ready to shove this ad up the asses of our resident Republican Operatives

The ones pretending to be "progressives" who keep telling us of Obama's "Secret Plan to destroy Medicare"

8. Do they ever complain about rmoney/ryan's declared plan to destroy Medicare?

[emulatorloo]

10. No. Republicans are never held accountable. It is as if Republicans do not exist for them

Republicans are given free passes. Everything is blamed on Democrats.

12. Not seen them on DU

Common Dreams is crawling with them, though.

5. Good Idea to Rely on AARP

They have a lot of credibility among seniors.
