Surprise! HHS Pilot Program to Send 2 Million Poor Seniors from Medicare into “Voucher” Programs

I know that every campaign promise Barack Obama makes has an expiration date … but this is ridiculous.  The confetti is barely off the floor at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina after Obama’s acceptance speech, and already we find out that he’s flip-flopped.  Remember this part of the speech, in which he attacks the Paul Ryan plan to apply free-market reform and cost controls to Medicare?

If Obama Rises in the Polls, Israel Is Likely to Strike Iran Before November

As the Romney-Ryan ticket inches ahead in the polls, one of the little noticed implications just may be the avoidance, at least for a time, of World War III.

World War III? How does that work?

According to high-level U.S. intelligence sources, Israel will likely unilaterally launch a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities and is basing the timing of that strike, in part, on the U.S. presidential election. Sources say Israel is more likely to consider delaying the strike until spring if they are optimistic that there will be a leadership change in Washington.

Obama Okay with Removing God and Jerusalem from Democratic Platform

Gotta love the optics of the Democrats booing “God” and “Jerusalem” when the floor vote was taken to add the language back in the platform. To be honest though, is this really a revelation? Anyone who pays attention knows the Democrats worship at the alter of Government…

Obama had seen the language prior to the convention, a campaign source said, but did not seek to change it until after Republicans jumped on the omissions of God and Jerusalem late Wednesday. And even then, it had to be forced through a convention hall full of delegates who nearly shouted down the change.

Romney Digital Director: Obama Running Facebook ‘Like It’s 2008′

Zac Moffatt, digital director for Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, argues that Obama’s digital team is running much the same playbook they did in 2008 — something he believes will give the Republicans an online edge in 2012.

“Obama’s campaign is still running their Facebook campaign like it’s 2008,” Moffatt tells Mashable when asked about Obama’s reputation as the “social candidate.” He compares the Democratic campaign to the historical rise and fall of successful technology companies.
