Obama camp anticipates Paul Ryan to lie in debate

Oct. 11, 2012 12:28pm Eddie Scarry

In an email to supporters today, Obama Campaign Manager Jim Messina says “we won’t be able to control whether Congressman Ryan tells the truth” in tonight’s debate.

“For his whole career, Paul Ryan has made an art of obscuring the facts,” the email says. “He’s done it on big things — like the fact that the Ryan budget that he championed in Congress, later adopted by the Romney-Ryan campaign, would actually end Medicare as we know it for our seniors and turn it into a voucher program.”

The email also contains a throwback to early September when Ryan claimed he ran a marathon in less time that what was actually true. “He’s misrepresented even the smallest things, too,” the email says.

Read the full email after the jump.

XXXXX –

Whatever happens at the vice presidential debate tonight, we need to respond quickly and forcefully.

With 26 days to go, we can’t just sit and wait for someone else to set the record straight. That’s how elections are lost.

We won last time because people like you stepped up and chipped in what they could to move the country forward. The stakes are even higher this time, so what are you waiting for?

Please make a donation of $5 or more right now to see this campaign through the finish line.

The number one thing we won’t be able to control in tonight’s debate is whether Congressman Ryan tells the truth — about himself, his record, or his and Mitt Romney’s actual plans for where they’d take our country.

If the past is any indicator, he won’t.

For his whole career, Paul Ryan has made an art of obscuring the facts. He’s done it on big things — like the fact that the Ryan budget that he championed in Congress, later adopted by the Romney-Ryan campaign, would actually end Medicare as we know it for our seniors and turn it into a voucher program.

He’s misrepresented even the smallest things, too — like his own personal marathon time.

If he’s not going to be bound by the facts tonight, it’s something that every voter needs to know.

One big thing our side can control in this debate is how strongly we respond.

As soon as Vice President Biden walks off that stage, we need to be ready to fire all cylinders to make sure our message — and the truth about the choice in this election — gets out there.

There are only 26 days left. Don’t sit this election out. Before the Vice President gets up on that stage to fight for us tonight, please make a donation, no matter how large or small:

Thank you for everything.

When the Dems say “Ryan will lie”, that’s code for “Ryan will be telling the truth”. The truth is what they are actually afraid of. It has them scared to death.

  I find it kind of funny that the biggest liar in the USA, Obama, is saying that Ryan might lie. Over the past 3.5 years we have been lied to over and over and over again by the liar in the white house. Odumbos entire staff tells one lie after another and then they wonder why the majority of Americans are tired of them. The only ones who are still following him are those that are not smart enough to figure out they are being used and those who actually hate America. I find it amazing that libs are always trying to say they are so smart but yet they are not smart enough to realize when they are being made fools of. Such small minded people libs are. Odumbo and his staff have commited treason on more than one occasion and they lie constantly and the libs still follow blindly. Odumbo’s plan is if he gets voted out of office, they plan on starting riots in the streets by claiming fraud and saying the whites stole the election from a black man. Everyone needs to get prepaired for this because odumbo is going to loose. If you live in big cities figure out how to get out if all he11 breaks out, buy at least one fire arm, learn to defend yourself etc.. time is running out so you better get to it. The libs unfortunately will find out that their leader does not care about them and they will be paying the ultimate price for their ignorance, I kind of feel sorry for them because they are afraid of fire arms so they will be bait. Poor libs.

I predict Biden’s horns to show and his hoofs to bust out of his $2000 wingtips. But, his mouth will get the best of him due to self-pride and arrogance that he is better than everyone else. Its a false sense of pride which is shared along with his leader. Just like the devil, his self-pride will be his demise. As far as Ryan’s proposal ending medicare, I say PROVE IT! Justify your accusations. Heres my accusations toward the so called commander in chief: connect obama to each person here and read…Nadmi Auchi, Jabir Herbert Muhammad, Tony Rezko, Edward Said, Rashid Kalidi, Ali Abunimah, Louis Farrakhan, Alice Palmer, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn, Dan Mahru, and Abdelhamid Al Chaib. Couldnt get this info till after the 08 election because of media squashing stories to cover for democratic party. But, now its all out there for all to know. These are obamas past and present friends and associates and they are all BAD GUYS. Learn for yourself if you haven’t yet.

You want to talk lies? Awesome… where to start. How about Benghazi? Arab Spring? Affordable Care Act and Medicare? Social Security? GM? Housing Bubble? Redistribution via stimulus? Arab Spring?
Osama Bin Laden…shall we??
How about the Presidents Birth Certificate or Nationality? …religion? real political affiliation?
YOU PICK!!!

I was always told, “Others will accuse you of those things they do themselves. It never dawns on them that you live by a different moral compass, and don’t even entertain those thoughts.”

Godspeed Mr. Ryan.

  @ ANTANN : Thanks ! The Dem-Lib-Soc-Prog-Comms live in lies and filth, and think everyone else must be like them. This propaganda is early damage control for when Paul Ryan out debates Biden as well or better than Romney out debated Obama, if you can just imagine a worse butt kickin’ ! This story is a good ” heads up ” for tonight, but essentually a non-news story.

It sounds like the Obama Camp had “problems” with the Joe Biden tutorial, 6 day study session, and is preparing their followers with – “Well, Joe only lost because Ryan is such a liar”. Didn’t they say the same about Romney?

Lie early Lie often…Dems practicing what they preach.

Sorry thing is the sheep believe every lie this obummer and gang have told. The lady analyzing Romney’s $5 trillion tax cut proved it but confused herself and got caught.
PATHETIC!!

The WH lies, this is an empty threat. And, why is Obama responding to a Ryan event that has not happened yet?
He should return to his cave until prep.time for the next debate.

By their definition, yes, Ryan will lie his a$$ off tonight. The Democrats deem it a lie when a Republican corrects a lie that the Dems have told so often that they now believe it to be true.
