Guardian: Reports that the US State Department wants better relationships with Iran; following the agenda of President Obama; the Department is drafting different letters that Obama can send to Iran. The problem with Diplomats is that they think talk is and end in itself, Iran wants to become a Nuclear Power with a bomb, they will talk and talk, keep Obama on the edge that there will be good relationship between Iran and the USA. Then when Obama thinks he has a deal they will announce they have the bomb, Israel will hit Iran and Iran will attack Iraq, and all hell will break lose. The President has fallen in to trap of thinking his press releases are truth, better Presidents than Obama will ever be have found that the Middle East is the one region that will never change, Obama is spending his political capital, the problem is once its gone its over in less your a Reagan or a Clinton, Obama is great at rhetoric but reality on the ground is another matter, Iran can only end the way of the USSR.

Obama's First Victory
BBC News: Reports the United States House of Representatives has passed the Obama Economic Plan. In pure political terms this is a good victory for the President, the Bill now has to go to the US Senate. I noticed when watching the Live Feed from D.C that no Republican voted for Bill and double figures of Democrats also voted against the Bill, they must be from Conservative areas. If Obama cant get any Republicans in the Senate or at least more than a few then if this plan fails its all down to him. But this is a victory, Obama has shown that he can manage the Democrats on Hill. As the years go by this will be less easy, if the US Economy is in the toilet next year then Obama will have tough Mid Terms, Reagan had losses in 1982. But he did win big in 1984.
