John McCain: God Bless...No, Shame on...No, God Bless...No, Shame on the AARP!

What prompted John McCain's 180-degree change of heart? Well, AARP has said that "it supports $460 billion in Medicare cuts needed to cover the cost of new a healthcare bill, citing that the only casualties would be 'waste and inefficiency.'" In addition: "No guaranteed Medicare benefits would be reduced with such cuts, AARP CEO A. Barry Rand added in a letter to U.S. senators." That's right, the organization most concerned with protecting seniors' Medicare benefits thinks that shifting money from the wasteful Medicare Advantage program to better uses is a good idea. John McCain, who used to say "God bless the AARP," now finds himself on the other side, wanting to "break" President Obama, thus we get McCain's "shame on the AARP" ranting. Fascinating, huh?
