Kevin Madden Defended Republican Vice Presidential Candidate Rep

M.M

Romney advance chief adviser Kevin Madden dedicated Republican carnality presidential applicant Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., over his allegation that Admiral Obama has "raided" Medicare to pay for "Obamacare" - admitting Ryan including the aforementioned cuts in his own budget.

"What Admiral Obama did absolutely weakens Medicare. It takes $700 billion out of it and uses it to absorb on a new entitlement, which is allotment of Obamacare," Madden told me this morning on "This Week." "What Romney-Ryan does is absolutely restore those cuts, puts it aback into Medicare to accomplish it
added solvent."

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan accept fabricated that allegation again on the advance aisle this week, adage Obama cut $716 billion from Medicare to pay for the Affordable Care Act - cuts the Romney-Ryan advance say they will restore.

"The admiral raids $716 billion from the Medicare affairs to pay for the Obamacare program," Ryan said at a advance stop in Florida yesterday. "Here is what Mitt Romney and I will do: We will end the arrest of Medicare."

But Ryan proposed befitting the aforementioned cuts to Medicare in his own account angle this year. And the Obama administering disputes the criticism of the Medicare cuts, adage they abate waste, artifice and abuse, and cut payments to hospitals, not Medicare casework to seniors.

"They're actuality backbiting about my affairs aback they can't advertise their plans," Obama said in New Hampshire bygone in acknowledgment to the attack. "You anticipate they'd abstain talking about Medicare, accustomed the actuality that both of them accept proposed to voucherize the Medicare system."

Earlier this week, one of the Romney campaign's best arresting surrogates, above New Hampshire Governor John Sununu, additionally seemed to belie the campaign's bulletin that Romney and Ryan do not accept above differences over the proposed cuts to Medicare.

"When Obama gutted Medicare by demography $717 billion out of it, the Romney plan does not do that," Sununu said Tuesday. "The Ryan plan mimics allotment of the Obama amalgamation there. The Romney plan does not. That's a big difference."

I asked Madden about the discrepancy, and whether the Romney advance is unfairly targeting Obama over the Medicare cuts. Here's his abounding response:

TAPPER: "How can you guys be advancing Admiral Obama for cuts to Medicare that Paul Ryan himself proposed, according to your own surrogate, John Sununu?"

MADDEN: "Well, look, starting on Saturday, what you saw was a Romney-Ryan admission appear calm with aggregate ethics and aggregate attempt about how we would restore those cuts to Medicare and how we would accomplish it added solvent. What Admiral Obama did absolutely weakens Medicare. It takes $700 billion out of it and uses it to absorb on a new entitlement, which is allotment of Obamacare. So it absolutely takes the money abroad from Medicare and spends it in a new way, and that's - that's the amiss approach. That's absolutely activity to aching accepted beneficiaries appropriate now."

MADDEN: "What Romney-Ryan does is absolutely restore those cuts, puts it aback into Medicare to accomplish it added solvent, because that's what we charge to do, and again it absolutely looks at added means which we can abide to accomplish Medicare bread-and-butter for approaching generations. And it doesn't affect any of the beneficiaries that are currently in Medicare. So those are actual big differences."
