Oh goodie, the Very Serious Campaign About Our Series National Issues that was predicted after Mitt Romney's selection of Paul Ryan is proceeding just as expected with this ad, in which the Romney-Ryan campaign explains to seniors that it's Obama who guts Medicare, not the Paul Ryan-worshipping Republican party. We explained this paper-thin plan of the Romney campaign's to "define" Paul Ryan earlier.
This is the sort of thing we expect in the adult conversation about "entitlements" that Paul Ryan, the most dignified statesman to have ever graced the stage of American politics, bestowed upon the nation by accepting Mitt Romney's job offer.
Have you ever been so excited to destroy a politician's career than you are right now with Paul Ryan's, reader?

It's the same math that makes the ARRA be one TRILLION dollars.
My thesaurus shows "strengthen" == "destroy".
