AARP Denies Backing Obamacare

Obama should really check on those endorsements. The Associated Press reports that at a Portsmouth, N.H. health-care town hall, Obama said, "We have the AARP onboard" and "AARP would not be endorsing a bill if it was undermining Medicare." Although AARP officials have promoted health-care reform at White House events, and recently hosted a tele-town hall on the topic featuring Obama, the organization's chief operating officer said, "Indications that we have endorsed any of the major health-care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."
