Clinton vs Carter

ABC News: Reports of a frosty relationship between two former Presidents, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. President Jimmy Carter cost a Bill Clinton an election. The Clintons never forgive, that's their charm, one can read their minds. Just ask the New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson about the harsh nature of the Clinton political machine.

Review of the Inauguration speech - President Obama

When looking at Inaugural speeches in the modern era one tends to think of FDR, JFK and Reagan. I noticed yesterday when the President gave a speech at the end of a Concert a sense of nerves in his delivery. Thus today when he was walking through the Capitol, one could see that he was nervous, his taking of the Oath showed that, thus when it came to the speech I was not expecting another Kennedy or even Reagan. The Elite Media have been showering it with praise, some after the event thought he should have been more Liberal, to be honest the speech had to much, the President bought up the fact that his father would not have been served local restaurants in the past. Lets get this on the record, the Obama victory is historic and about time but we now face a economic 9/11 that could take us back to the Great Depression, that effects all colours and religions. The USA and UK are fighting a hot war in Afghanistan, it will take time to get out of Iraq, also we have to deal with terrorists who want to kill those that disagree with them, hence 9/11 and 7/7 and the attack Spain and other areas. In a time of no major conflict or economic distress Obama would have a time for a discussion on race relations but he is now President of the United States, he is the symbol of change, his Administration has to deal with a Wall Street and banking collapse, he has to get out of Iraq due to the economic pressure of the conflict, but getting out in a way that does not allow Iran to claim victory or worse taker over Iraq. In Afghanistan the USA will try a surge, the surged worked in Iraq but Afghanistan is a very different kettle of fish, the terrorists can come over the border from Pakistan, attack Western Forces and then run back over the border. During the Campaign Candidate Obama stated he would go after the terrorists in Pakistan. As Pakistan is in stand off with India over the terrorists attacks in Bombay this threat could undermine the Government of Pakistan. As Obama needs a friendly Pakistan to help in Afghanistan, will Obama visit Pakistan as to show a new relationship with the Muslim World. Also Obama has pandered to the left, the speech was full of the importance of the Law. If your in 24 case study, an hour before a bomb is about to go off, will Obama have the nerve to do what must be done, get the information. The Terrorists might think that if captured if they call for a lawyer then they wont be forced to give information. Lets hope this speech was a spin for the left and he acts like the Gipper, or we might find we have another Jimmy Carter, we did get the Gipper at the next election.

Congratulations to President Obama

Congratulations Mr President
