Congresswoman Johnson Responds To Paul Ryan's Attacks On Medicare And President Obama

"All week I have watched my colleagues from across the aisle at the Republican National Convention stretch and bend the truth in their favor. But after listening to paul Ryan's speech Wednesday night I must set the record straight.

It has 
been clear that for the past four years the top priority of the Republican Party has not been the American people but to make President Obama a one-term President. Now, during the heat of political embellishment, Congressman Ryan declares that Medicare is being threatened... What he failed to mention to the American people is that he not President Obama is the architect of the attack. Ryan has spent the better part of the last two years trying to end Medicare as we know it." - Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
