DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) - President Barack Obama says the latest criticism from Republicans Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan is "dishonest."
   
Romney and Ryan have accused Obama of raiding more than $700 billion from the Medicare trust fund to help pay for his health care overhaul.
   
Obama told a crowd in Iowa today that he has "strengthened Medicare." He says his Republican rivals are "throwing everything at the wall to see if this sticks."
