53. I don't really think this is important

Firstly, he could have just forgotten how fast he did it.

Secondly, he's lied about so much more important things this seems like a waste of time.

Yes I know, it's a point about how Ryan is a lier and republicans live in a fantasy world where Obama followed Clinton, Obama was president in 2008, and it's wrong for Obama to make cuts to medicare according to the guy who wanted to make similar cuts to medicare.

But we already have plenty of ammunition for that.
