Here's the sad thing: news then interviewed an elderly couple, asked them if they liked Ryan's plan. They said, "yes, at least he has a plan, Obama doesn't".

Apparently these ignorant people are completely unawares that Obama's plan for Medicare was put into the ACA voted into law 2 years ago, and Obama's Medicare Plan is why this year they have free preventive medicine visits, and $600 less drug bills.

Same thing with my senior parents - they hate Obama, yet are happy they are paying less money through their Medicare this year - they certainly noticed - but they refuse to give Obama any credit for it.

I guess that change happened in a vacuum?

Complete ignorance in the American voter - very, very sad.

But I did like the MoveOn.org airplane circling overhead, with "Paul Ryan - keep your hands off our Medicare" banner playing out behind. That was fun.
