The Arts and Obama

The New York Times: Reports how the TV comedy circuit is dealing with President Obama, the liberal NYT writes the following, " The bits about him are getting harsher. They are no longer just gentle gibes.." At the end of the day its about getting viewers to watch, more viewers more TV ads and thus more money for the networks. These networks are not going to be an arm of the Obama Administration till the end of time, they need viewers, if viewers are not happy with President Obama they have only Fox to watch, does not matter how Liberal the networks are, its about the dollar at the end of the day. Thus President Obama might look back at his early Presidency as his best time, the late night chat shows are going to after him now, they have to after he go the Nobel Peace Prize for doing nothing, really NOTHING!. I will almost guarantee that former President Bill Clinton will have a smile on his face, lets be honest it must hurt him, President Carter ( 1977 -1981 ), Vice - President Al Gore ( 1993 2001 ), President Obama ( 2009 - ) all Democrats have gotten a Nobel Peace Prize, and it can be argued that President Clinton does deserve the prize for his charity work after leaving Office. Even the Nobel Peace Prize Committee cant give it to him now, even they must read the press after the Obama award, it could be years if not decades before Clinton gets a look in for the prize, thus he will have to watch the TV comedians send Obama up, that might be his only consolation.

The Threat to Pakistan from the Taliban - USA

BBC News: Reports on the visit by the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to London. The Secretary stated that Pakistan was under threat from the Taliban of Pakistan and that Iran cant play the UN. The recent attack on the Headquarters of the Army of Pakistan by the Taliban of Pakistan shows how much danger Pakistan is under, that danger would be increased tenfold should President Obama follow the advice of VP Biden, the Vice President has argued for a drawback of US troops from Afghanistan and the increase of drone attacks on Al Qaeda in Pakistan. The US is already not that popular in Pakistan, the drone attacks while being very effective against the leadership of Al Qaeda has also killed innocent people, thus the effect of a more advance drone attacks could have serious repercussions for the Government of Pakistan. Also lets gets real here, the one and only concern is that Pakistan is a nuclear armed power, the US and West can not afford to see the Taliban take over Pakistan, thus while Obama is third guessing himself over Afghanistan, the President should really look at his policy towards Pakistan. Also a piece of advice to President Obama, do your self a favour and send Biden to count the Penguins in the Falklands, the Biden advice could lead to regional war between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
