Its MY Bag - Obama on Xmas Terror Attempt

CNN: Reports that President Obama will take responsibility for the failures in the US system that nearly allowed a suspected terrorists to blow up a US place on Christmas Day. This shows leadership by POTUS, when he does the right thing this blog will praise his actions, as stated many times this blog is about results, on the whole the domestic agenda of Obama is a economic disaster, but it can be argued that Obama carried on the policies of Bush 43 from Afghanistan to rendition, thus will let off POTUS over this incident, he didn't allow the terrorists on board the plane and he was not at the CIA going over the information, but let off does not mean that if there is another terrorists attack this blog will not be highly critical of President Obama, this blog is fair but will call the President to account if there is another failure.

Health Care Reform - Bad Politics by Obama

CBS News: Reports how the final version of the Health Care Reform; the merging of the House and Senate version; will be produced behind closed doors. This is a reversal of the Obama promise in 08 to allow sunlight in to the process. This is bad politics by the Obama White House, you have a bill that does not have popular support, that was gotten through the Senate by buying the votes of individual Senators and their states. Thus by breaking a Campaign pledge Obama is showing that he has learned Chicago methods if not real good politics.

500 US Casualties A MONTH predicted in Afghanistan

The Times: Reports on the prediction by retired US General Barry McCaffrey that the US will lose five hundred soldiers a month in Afghanistan. If this prediction comes true President Obama can forget about a second term, the US voter is already wary of Afghanistan; that shows sound judgement; but the will not tolerate an endless War, the US will be in Afghanistan for years, that's not the point, its one thing being in theatre, its another when you see five hundred body bags a month. The US voter already has health care reform to hold against Obama, this kind of loss in Afghanistan would be the final straw, the Republicans would take back the White House and the Congress, House and Senate in 2012.
