Claim: Obama Bashed McCain for Cost-Saving Medicare Policies

TRUE: In a campaign ad entitled "It Ain't Right," Obama is accused of slashing $700 billion from Medicare to pay for Obamacare, even though he bashed Sen. John McCain for similar cost-saving plans in 2008. While fact-checkers haven't fully endorsed the $700 billion figure, it is true that Obama inaccurately characterized McCain's health care plan as more than $800 billion in cuts from services and benefits in 2008.
