Obama Says Romney Will End Medicare

President Obama begins a two-day swing through
Florida and First Read reports “he’ll introduce another attack:
hitting Romney on Medicare and the Ryan budget.”

Per the campaign, the
president “will discuss his commitment to strengthening Medicare, and a
new report tomorrow that highlights the devastating impact Mitt Romney’s
Medicare plan could have on the 3.4 million Floridians that rely on
Medicare.”

“Bottom line, per the campaign’s guidance: Obama will argue
that Romney — through his support for the Ryan budget plan — advocates
ending Medicare ‘as we know it.'”

Jonathan Chait: “The Obama campaign’s attacks on Mitt Romney’s business record and
personal finances will probably continue for a long time. But I think
that, when the campaign is remembered in history, they will not be seen
as the central element but rather as a prelude. The main event is going to be a fight over the priorities of the Paul Ryan budget.”
