Mitt Romney took a leaf out of Paul Ryan’s book Thursday, pulling out a whiteboard to make his points on Medicare during a campaign stop in South Carolina.

He drew two columns on the line, one marked “Obama” and the second marked “Romney,” saying his plan presents no change to Medicare for those over 55 while the president’s, he claimed, would cut $716 billion from the program, take 4 million people from Medicare rolls and see some 15 percent of hospitals and nursing homes refusing to accept Medicare patients.

For the plan for future generations, he wrote two simple words — “bankrupt” under Obama and “solvent” under Romney.
