The Myth and Reality of Obama

Telegraph: Reports on how the McCain Campaign has jumped on the old radio interview by Obama that defines him as a socialist, while Obama is spinning that it will be a new day when he is elected President. Obama was seen as first as the post racial, post 60s candidates, he has become both, his ill grandmother was thrown under the bus to protect his ex racist pastor. His spread the wealth comment makes LBJ's Great Society look like a conservative programme. Obama will win but he cant turn the USA in to France, the House is up for re - election, the Conservative Democrats will quite happy vote against him as with him, in some Conservative areas a vote in the House against Obama will get a Representative a few hundred votes. The Senate will also have Democrats up for re - election, if from Conservative areas and tax has gone up they will lose their seats. Also in four years if the economy is in the dumbs it will be the fault of the Obama Administration. The real problems could be in Foreign Policy, Obama wants out of Iraq, given the economic 9/11 its a good idea, the Iraq Government will have to carry the heavy load, but an Obama Administration might appease Iran, give up on the son of Star Wars, allow the Russia to use her weight in the International System. Thus in four years time the USA will be looking for another Ronald Reagan after Jimmy Carter Mark 11.
