President Obama Holds Town Hall At Facebook Headquarters 
---------------------------------------------------------



President Obama traveled to the headquarters of Facebook Wednesday while
on a fundraising trip to California. During a public event at Facebook,
Obama criticized the Republicans for pushing a plan to alter Medicare
and Medicaid.

President Barack Obama: “Yes, I think it’s fair to say that their
vision is radical. No, I don’t think it’s particularly courageous
... nothing is easier than solving a problem on the backs of people who
are poor, or people who are powerless, or don’t have lobbyists, or
don’t have clout. I don’t think that’s particularly courageous.”
