"Frank's skill in asking the right questions is un-mistakable, and is at the core of his leadership philosophy.

The power of these questions cannot be underestimated, especially if you want to lead and not manage."

How Convenient

Didn’t President Bush claim that he would make Medicare cheaper and easier to understand for senior citizen?

“When it comes to health care, Senator Kerry’s prescription is bigger government with higher costs,” Bush said. “My reforms will lower costs and give more control and choices to the American people.”

Apparently not:

Some low-income seniors may have missed out on millions of dollars in federal subsidies because the government did not notify them that they could be reimbursed for past prescription drug purchases when they enrolled in Medicare’s drug benefit, a Government Accountability Office study has found.

Makes me wonder how many of those that lost have filed for bankruptcy could have avoided that.

(Personal bankruptcy filings by people 55 and older are growing faster than those by any other age group, in part because of rising mortgage debt and medical expenses among seniors, a study published yesterday concludes.)

Another broken promise the President made?

Who is the real flip-flopper? The Commander guy or…?
