Karl Rove: Obama Targets Medicare Advantage - WSJ.com: "President Barack Obama was wise to vacation this week on Martha's Vineyard. Not because it's one of the few places in America where his health-care plan is still popular, but because by getting out of Washington he gave staff time to repair his vaunted message machine, which was starting to break down.
Two weeks ago, White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod said in a now legendary 'viral' email that, 'It's a myth that health insurance reform would be financed by cutting Medicare benefits.' This was sent out the day before Mr. Obama told a Montana town hall that he'd pay for health-care reform by 'eliminating . . . about $177 billion over 10 years' for 'what's called Medicare Advantage.' And it was two days before Mr. Obama told a Colorado town hall he'd cover 'two-thirds' of the 'roughly $900 billion' of his plan's cost by 'eliminating waste,' again citing Medicare Advantage."
