Review of Presidential Press Conference

White House Blog: Transcript of the Presidential Press Conference Last Night. President Obama held a press conference last night to push for his health care reform, one simple verdict, rubbish. The President it seems does not understand what the term Press Conference means, he takes questions, he took 11 last night in a hour. The Press allowed Obama to waffle, and I mean waffle, after an hour in less you had PhD in the subject you would not have understood what an earth Obama was waffling about, and his spin was not that great, never start a press a conference with assertions that can be challenged if you had a tougher reporters, the President stated the following, " we passed a Recovery Act that has already saved jobs and created new ones....And the Recovery Act will continue to save and create more jobs over the next two years -- just like it was designed to do. " It seems that President Obama has missed the fact that unemployment has nearly reached 10% and in some states its 15%. The Recovery Act so far, has not worked, why does the President think his polls have started to go South. If your pass a massive economic package to jump start the economy and it has not worked, don't be surprised if the Congress and the Voters start to think you have lost the plot. I did think Obama was a Liberal Reagan, not so sure now, Health Care just might to use a TV phrase show that Obama has jumped the shark, and Obama is no Reagan or the Fonz from Happy Days.

That Mistake - Blunt the Spy

The Times: Reports that the memoirs of Anthony Blunt, the Soviet Spy have been released to the public. It hard to understand when those that have it all, wealth and social connections betray their country, to betray the Crown for Stalin, beyond my understanding or forgiveness.

The Obama Odyssey on Health Care Reform in the USA

The New York Times: Reports that the US Senate will not vote on Health Care Reform, the NYT writes the following, ".....Democratic leaders faced a barrage of questions from the news media about whether they would lose momentum for the broad health.. " Its simple folks the Liberal Leadership in Congress don't have the votes to pass Health Care Reform, there are Mid Term Congressional Elections in the USA next year, the entire House is up for re-election. Blue Dog Conservative Democrats can not get elected they if pass the Liberal Obama Plan for heath care, it costs a trillion, that a trillion dollars, the President himself does not know whats in his own bill. Also the idea that you would tax those earning more that a million dollars in a recession is just barmy, its some 1980s Liberal University Seminar Group, yes the Obama mind set! Lets hope with a holiday that Congress can get back to reality, that the voter will remind the Congress that what can get elected can also lose. It time Obama learned the lesson all Presidents learn, you can roll the Congress most of the time, but you are lame duck sooner or later, just didn't think Obama would be lame duck after six months.
