They made it official, war may be on the horizon.
PITTSBURGH — President Obama and the leaders of Britain and France accused Iran on Friday of building a secret underground plant to manufacture nuclear fuel, saying the country has hidden the covert operation from international weapons inspectors for years.
Appearing before reporters in Pittsburgh, Mr. Obama said that the Iranian nuclear program “represents a direct challenge to the basic foundation of the nonproliferation regime.” President Nicolas Sarkozy of France said that Iran had a deadline of two months to comply with international …

NEW YORK (AP) — Giving some ground on a top priority of President Barack Obama, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Wednesday that sanctions are rarely productive but he opened the door to tougher ones to halt Iran’s suspected nuclear weapons program.
”In some cases, sanctions are inevitable,” the Russian leader said after he and Obama held talks on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly meetings.

“Two of every three practicing physicians oppose the medical overhaul plan under consideration in Washington, and hundreds of thousands would think about shutting down their practices or retiring early if it were adopted, a new IBD/TIPP Poll has found.”

“As Americans become more aware of Obama’s thirty-four Czars, each one is being looked at more carefully than before the Van Jones background was exposed. Next to come under the radar is John Holdren, Obama’s Science Czar.  His views on families and population control is raising some eyebrows.”

For those that deny the fact that the proposed health care plan (dubbed Obamacare) might have some dark sides to it, perhaps it is time to wake up. A Newsweek article called “The Case for Killing Granny” outlines how Americans need to come to grips with death if real health care change is going to be made in our country. “Until Americans learn to contemplate death as more than a scientific challenge to be overcome, our health-care system will remain unfixable.” It continues to mention that President Obama intentionally avoided …

“A Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted in the three days following President Barack Obama’s speech to Congress about his health care plan found that 54% say the more they hear about the plan, the less they like it.”

“Internet companies and civil liberties groups were alarmed this spring when a U.S. Senate bill proposed handing the White House the power to disconnect private-sector computers from the Internet. They’re not much happier about a revised version that aides to Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat, have spent months drafting behind closed doors. CNET News has obtained a copy of the 55-page draft of S.773 (excerpt), which still appears to permit the president to seize temporary control of private-sector networks during a so-called cybersecurity emergency.”

As The Washington Post earlier reported, the Justice Department “recommended that Congress move swiftly with legislation that would protect the government’s ability to collect a variety of business and credit card records and to monitor terrorism suspects with roving wiretaps”. Specifically, the White House is looking to expand three provisions of the Patriot Act which allow “investigators to monitor through roving wiretaps suspects who may be trying to escape detection by switching cellphone numbers, obtain business records of national security targets, and track “lone wolves” who may be acting alone …

The change towards an open White House and legislative transparency promised by President Obama is seeming more and more like campaign rhetoric than “change you can believe in”. The White House has been denying that meetings with big pharma occurred and that deals were struck. However, as the Huffington Post released in August, there clearly were meetings and arrangements being made behind closed doors. There is no denying that health care reform is needed, but at what cost? The arrangements that were made show that the likely cost would be …
