Related: About this forumPaul Ryan Booed At AARP For Attacking Obamacare
http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/paul-ryan-booed-at-aarp-for-attacking-obamacarePaul Ryan drew boos speaking to the AARP by attacking Obamacare and pledging to repeal it.
"The first step to a stronger Medicare is to repeal Obbamacare," he said to a shower of jeers. "I had a feeling there would be mixed reaction, so let me get into it. It weakens medicare for today's seniors and puts it at risk for the next generation. First, it funnels $716 billion out of Medicare to pay for a new entitlement we didn't even ask for. Second, it puts 15 unelected bureaucrats in charge of medicare's future."
Ryan was booed repeatedly as he continued to attack the bill, especially after he said the law "turned Medicare into a piggy bank for Obamacare."

If seniors, especially older men, are turning against Romney/Ryan, the campaign is over!
