Hurricane Healthcare Descends on Obama and Congress in the US Politics News Radar

News Patterns discovers patterns and trends among overwhelming flows of news and social media, as defined by thousands of independent news content creators.  The most relevant topics win the center of our radar spaces.  Positions and movements define what a collective news intelligence is telling us in real-time, often correlating closely to polling results.  Topics that are near each other are highly connected or related to each other in the news.

Here is August 5, 2013 version of US Politics radar.  Over 150,000 articles were collected, patterned and rendered into our animated radar over the past month.  In this snapshot, one can see President Obama and the US Congress are the central news topics at the radar center.  Our radars often discover the primary contestants in politics, business and finance, and locate them at the radar center.

One can also see and track the growing relevancy of the Healthcare topic among other US politics topics and politicians over the past month.  In fact, the Healthcare topic emerged from relative obscurity and is now crowding out other topics like Immigration, IRS Scandal, NSA Security, Economy and Arab Spring (aka Egypt, Syria, Benghazi).  The  effect of the Healthcare topic is now hurricane like in its disruption of existing US politics topics and their relationships to politicians.

Hurricane Healthcare warnings are now issued for President Obama and the US Congress.
