Dr Who Meets the Original Time Lord, Albert Einstein

The Times: Reports on a new drama on Arthur Eddington ( David Tennant ) and Albert Einstein ( Andy Serkis), Eddington the man that made Albert Einstein famous. Its a nice cycle if you think about it, Einstein gave us the theory of relativity and from that we can postulate we get our favourite Time Lord. By the way sorry about the header, but could not help my self, not as bright as old Albert!

Update: Two words, Fantastic Drama. It shows why David Tennant is great as Dr Who, also why its sad that he is leaving but you can see why, he is a great actor, the combination of of DT and Andy Serkis made physics fun and interesting. One can Hollywood in the near future for DT. He had in many respects had the more challenging role, a repressed Edwardian not easy to play. Also someone who can see the future and its not Newton, also give it a World War One context even harder when the view he supports comes from a Swiss/German character. Both actors should be up for a Bafta for their roles. Also has the BBC considered Andy Serkis for Dr Who, would be different from DT but that's the point, he held is own and made a character that could not have gotten much sympathy very sympathetic. Also the 11 and 12 Dr Who are more darker characters. See Trial of a Time Lord.

Marc Rich Pardon

The New York Times: Interesting article on the Marc Rich Pardon that was granted by Bill Clinton on his last day in the White House. The issue has come up again due to leak that Eric Holder is to be Attorney General in a Obama Administration, Mr Holder supported the Pardon of Mr Rich. The article in the Liberal New York Times is very critical, the article states the following, " He had the last word at Justice on clemency petitions and he saw to it that he had the only word. He brokered one of the most unjustifiable pardons that an American president has ever granted. " An interesting article to be published by the Liberal Times, Mr Holder would be the first African - American to hold the post if he passes the confirmation process. It can be postulated that the Times has figured out it cant be the press department for an Obama Administration for four to eight years.

More on Clinton at State

The New York Times: Reports on the move by Senator Hillary Clinton from the US Senate to the US State Department. It writes the following, " But it could also disappoint many of Mr. Obama’s supporters, who worked hard to have him elected instead of Mrs. Clinton and saw him as a vehicle for changing Washington. Mr. Obama argued during the primaries that it was time to move beyond the Clinton era ...." In other words the Liberal New York Times, a firm supporter of Obama in the General Election is not happy with the idea either, if the Times is not happy Obama must be doing something right. A interesting aspect of the article is the news that Hillary Clinton can appoint her own Deputies. This is bad move by Obama, the State Department will become a rival Royal Court, the National Security Council will be loyal to Obama, while State will be in the pockets of the Clintons, yes plural, get one and you get one free, in this case Bill Clinton. If your a blogger the good times are back, YES ITS THE CLINTONS.

Woodward on Clinton at STATE

FishbowlDC: Reports that Bob Woodward of Watergate Fame thinks the placing of Clinton at State is very bad idea. Obama is must have great confidence in himself as a manager of people and absolute trust that A) Hillary Clinton will listen to him, B) Bill Clinton will remember that Obama is President. Call me a very very old cynic but politics has never worked like that, even Ronald Reagan had his problems, and Obama is not quite Ronald Reagan, no matter what his press team think at this present time. In 1980 Reagan at least trusted his main opponent, Bush 41 to make him Vice - President, Obama didn't trust Clinton to be his VP, why does he think that making her Secretary of State is a better idea now.

Obama Mistakes in Transition

Lets have a look at the Obama mistakes since he was elected POTUS. The very mistake was his comment in a news conference that he had not spoken to dead Presidents. In this case it was Ronald Reagan, he later phoned to say sorry to Nancy Reagan. The second mistake was his decision to appointment Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, it will be LBJ - RFK feud all over again. The third mistake and this could be costly, was his statement that he wants his Administration to create 2.5 Million jobs in two years. After two years if this has not happened the blame will be placed at the Oval Office Door.

Madam Secretary - Hillary Clinton

BBC News: Has reported that Hillary Clinton will become the next US Secretary of State. The drama of the past few days, would she take the job, Bill Clinton and his business dealings, are part of the package when you deal with the Clintons. Of those who are Conservatives its great news, there nothing like the Clintons for fun blogging. How long will someone bet that Bill Clinton goes off the reservation when it comes to differences between him and Obama. It can be argued that Bill Clinton has been very supportive of his wife, allowing the Obama team to check the donors to his Foundation and Presidential Library. The problem with all great actors, and this goes for Ronald Reagan also, its not a party thing, is very hard for them to allow the spotlight to be taken by someone else, Bush 41 had problems, Obama is more lucky he is already a rock star, but how long before Bill Clinton gets annoyed or needs some attention on the World State. One does not see Bill Clinton as an EXTRA. I give it six months before Bill Clintons blows a casket, and goes off the Obama Reservation.
