The Obama White House and Chicago

The New York Times: Reports on how badly the Obama West Wing has taken the news that Chicago has lost the Olympics, the NYT writes the following, " A sense of stunned bewilderment hung in the air at the White House. " A Hollywood star is only as good as the last gross of his last movie, it seems that it could be the world that is the first to leave the Obama theatre. If Obama Aide would not take a out a hefty mortgage based on being in the White House for eight years, you could find that the Republicans take over the House in 2010 and and President Obama could lose 48 states in 2012. It like when sound came to the movies 1927, some voices in the long term didn't cut it, thus could this be the fate of Obama, loved then deserted in droves, guess he could be a warm act for Jimmy Carter.

Hollow President, Obama the WINDY Man!

The Times: Reports on the failure of President Obama to get the Olympics for his home town of Chicago, how this will have a negative effect on the Obama Presidency. Its American politics 101, a President does not go in to meeting without knowing how it will end, the Press Statement written up before a meeting. An American President does not at any cost want the appearance that his Presidency is hollow, that he is weak, at home he cant get his Agenda through the Congress, while abroad he is seen as another Jimmy Carter, not feared but seen as naive and weak. Thus my prediction that Obama will be a one term President, his he cant get beyond his own arrogance, quite sad really in some respects.

Death in Afghanistan

MOD: Reports on another UK loss in Afghanistan, the MOD states the following, " A Gunner from 34 Squadron Royal Air Force Regiment was killed in Afghanistan on Thursday 1 October 2009. " Thus since 2001 the UK has lost 219 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Afghanistan, of that total, 188 have died in combat operations, while the other 31 have died due to illness, accidents or other incidents.
