Obama Falsely Claims AARP Endorses his Health Plan

http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2009/08/president-obamas-senior-moment.html

"While the President was correct that AARP will not endorse a health care reform bill that would reduce Medicare benefits, indications that we have endorsed any of the major health care reform bills currently under consideration in Congress are inaccurate."

The sad thing is that the majority of people who heard that won't be corrected and will be forming an opinion upon a mistake. Will Obama come out and correct this for all the hear? We shall see, but I'm not holding my breath.
