Obama: New Medicare ad

The Obama campaign is out with another Medicare ad, hitting Romney for wanting to change the entitlement to a voucher program. One problem with the ad is that it implies that the changes will take place for current seniors, when it does not.

The Obama team is out with a snarky web video previewing the Republican convention, calling it a “convention reinvention” and “the do-over.” 

The Obama campaign on Romney’s birth certificate joke: “Throughout this campaign, Governor Romney has embraced the most strident voices in his party instead of standing up to them,” Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt said in a statement. “Governor Romney’s decision to directly enlist himself in the birther movement should give pause to any rational voter across America.”

Former Republican Florida Gov. Charlie Crist endorsed Obama. The political world shrugged with this announcement over the weekend. It’s really striking how quickly things can change. It was just four years ago when Crist’s endorsement was credited with John McCain’s win in the Florida GOP primary.

Romney has promised to end ObamaCare.

That means current seniors will have to pay for the donut hole again and Medicare loses 8 years of solvency.

Romney's own math doesn't add up. That's why Ryan repeatedly goes around saying their running on Romney's plan, not the Ryan plan. Romney's promising sunshine from his behind and Ryan is doing everything to avoid having to talk about Romney's bad math.

If he gets that accomplished it will be a big win for America and make him ten times better than the current misguided one in the white house.

It is important to remember that President Obama's healthcare plan puts the burden of cost upon the insurance companies to provide preventative services and restrict the options of excluding so-called high risk and high cost seniors and subscribers. The GOP plan will return the burden to subscribers and seniors and insurance companies will again be allowed to denie insurance ot high risk, high cost subscribers and seniors. Moneys taked from Medicare for the President Obama's healthcare plan levels the playing field for seniors and nonseniors. I personnally don't care where the money goes, but the problem I have is that the GOP will again create a system where business again will engage in corporate greed. Deregulation will NOT guarantee that business will use the financial advantages given by the GOP to creat jobs, provide healthcare that is fair or high quality. Obama is no saint and I don't agree with everything he does. However the GOP's platform will mean seniors will pay more out of pocket, more seniors will recieve inferior healthcare, preventative care will cost seniors much much more and a greater amount of money will go for administrative cost rather than service delivery.

    Q: Why doesn't Romney release his tax records? A: Because he made lots of money and paid little taxes.

    Q: Why doesn't Obama release his college records? A: Because he applied for tuition aid as a foreign student.

    I say a pox on both their houses.

      The endorsement will influence Florida seniors who supported Charlie Crist. That's the point. I swear, the "political world" has forgotten they are not the story.

      The beast (666) is upon us, FOX news F=6, O (15th letter)1+5=6, X (24th letter)2+4=6. Revelations tells us the beast has 7 heads and 10 horns and 10 crowns which equal 27. If Romney iselected he will be the 27thelected Republican president. (Remember the Democrat- Republicans and the Whig Parties both turned into the Republican Party). FOX (Murdock) also owns 27 television stations in the USA. Revelation 13.1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. Hosea 4:6 God Says, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. FOX is the Blasphemer and you if believe its lies, you allow it to destroy your knowledge. God says, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. Bain Capital (Romney’s Baby) owns Clear Channel which owns 866 radio stations and Premiere Radio Networks, a national radio network that serves nearly 5,800 radio station affiliates and has over 213 million weekly listeners. Programs include the Rush Limbaugh Show, Glenn Beck and the Sean Hannity Show (Revelation 13:11 and he spake as a dragon) Both FOX (Murdock = 1st beast) and Bain (2nd beast) work together.Revelation 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound washealed. [13:13] And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, [13:14] And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. [13:15] And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. [13:16] And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: [13:17] And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Ezekiel 33:7, So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me. We as knowledgeable Christians cannot let the beast in, we must resist his lies, gain knowledge and give warning. Obama/Biden 2012
