Barack Obama, our next President

Gaffe Machine Mitt Romney Introduces Paul Ryan as the Next President of the United States
Romney called Ryan an intellectual leader of the Republican Party, which says a lot about the Republican Party.(By this point, Romney managed to suck the life out an enthusiastic crowd. What were once loud cheers became dead silence.) Romney again mentions his bold, specific, and achievable plan to strengthen the middle class, but again offers no specifics.
Romney goes into his previously failed middle class speech, but this time he added his work to welfare lie. Romney promised to create 12 million jobs. Romney also lied about the president cutting $700 million from Medicare, and didn’t tell people that their plan to preserve Medicare is privatization and vouchers.
This was all the same old Romney until he managed to show that he isn’t even competent enough to introduce Ryan as the next vice president of the United States. After Ryan’s big intro, Romney had to jump back in and correct himself calling Ryan the,“next vice president of the United States.”
Jesus, Romney can’t even get through introducing Ryan without a major gaffe. Although Romney’s slip was one of the rare bits of truth to come out of his mouth. He is hoping that Republicans show up to the polls to vote for Paul Ryan, because he certainly knows they aren’t showing up to vote for him.

Math, is officially hip!

"Paul Ryan represents Obama's most horrifying nightmare: Math."

"The Obama administration sold its near trillion dollar "stimulus" plan by claiming that without it, unemployment would reach 9% while with it, unemployment would stay below 8%. Despite the bill, unemployment hit 10% and has, in fact, remained more than 8% for the past 42 months."

Imagine the vice-president debate, Ryan versus the Human Laugh Track Biden.

For all you lefties that believe anybody that isn't a Marxist is "stupid", it's gonna be tough to watch.

The Romney campaign is pushing back hard against accusations that Paul Ryan, and by extension Romney himself, are threatening Medicare. And they're recycling an old, discredited attack line to do it.

The real assault on Medicare, according to Romney and his allies, comes from President Obama, because the Affordable Care Act calls for $700 billion in cuts to Medicare over the next decade. Here's Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus making that argument on NBC's "Meet the Press" this morning:

He stole $700 billion from Medicare to fund Obamacare. If any person in this entire debate has blood on their hands in regard to Medicare, it's Barack Obama. He's the one that's destroying Medicare.

Capturing the cynicism on display here isn't easy. I'm going to try anyway.

Yes, the Affordable Care Act includes substantial cuts to Medicare. But Ryan's own budget, which nearly every House Republican voted to pass and which Romney has said he would sign as president, leaves those cuts in place and uses them to finance other priorities. In other words, the Romney campaign is attacking a proposal that Romney and his allies endorse.

The most significant difference between the two sides, at least for the short- to medium-term, is how they handle the savings these cuts generate. Obamacare puts the money back into the pockets of people who need help with their medical bills. A portion of the money is earmarked for children and non-elderly Americans, who, starting in 2014, will become eligible for Medicaid or receive tax credits to offset the cost of private insurance. A smaller, but still significant, portion of the money is for seniors. It helps them pay for prescription drugs, by filling the "donut hole" in Medicare Par D coverage. It also eliminates out-of-pocket costs for annual wellness visits, some cancer screenings, and other preventative services. Those benefits have actually started already: In the first six months of this year, according to the Department of Health and Human Services, more than 16 million seniors took advantage of the free preventative care provision.

Ryan's budget—which, again, Romney has repeatedly embraced and said he would sign—actually takes those new benefits away. The Part D donut hole would open back up. Access to free preventative care would vanish. And where would Ryan and Romney put the money instead? They say it's for deficit reduction. I'd say it's really for their big new tax cuts, which disproportionately benefit the wealthy. If somebody is "stealing" from seniors here, it's not Obama.

Appearing on Face the Nation August 12th, Obama Deputy Campaign Manager Stephanie Cutter called the $700 billion gutted from Medicare an achievement made by President Obama through ObamaCare.

As a reminder, the Obama administration stole the $700 billion from Medicare to pay for their government takeover of the healthcare system without a plan to replace Medicare funding. Despite this fact, team Obama constantly claims ObamaCare will be better for seniors when the opposite is true.

Mitt cancelled his Orlando Monday (today) appearances, and apparently reshuffled the R & R four state swing. The campaign says, no foolin, that the candidate is exhausted.

Exhausted? He's only 65 years old right?

Looks as though Ryan will go to Iowa to counter Obama's drought assistance visit.
