Claim: We are periodically taking a look at past claims from the 2012 presidential candidates. Up next: President Barack Obama. The president officially launched his 2012 campaign on April 4, but we've been fact-checking his statements for about four years now. Among the major misstatements: Obama has misrepresented Republican plans for Medicare. Recently, he made the exaggerated claim that Rep. Paul Ryan's Medicare proposal was "a voucher program that leaves seniors at the mercy of the insurance industry."
