Obama's Health Care Plan

Fox News: Reports on the just released White House health care reform plan, in essence it will cost one trillion dollars, no public option, it will force Americans to buy insurance, those with existing conditions can not be barred from cover and no cap on cover if someone is ill. There will be tax hikes to pay for this plan. The problem with the plan folks is that it will cost the Democrats the Hill in the Mid Term Elections and Obama will be a one term President. Think about this folks, the USA is in a major recession and Obama wants to spend a one trillion dollars on health care, not jobs, the American voter has sent a clear message via the recent state elections, what part of the name Scott Brown didn't Obama get, this plan shows a tin ear by a out of touch President and White House. The Republicans should force Obama to spend all his political capitol to push this through, if Democrats use the 51 vote strategy of the Senate the Republicans should block all Obama's Agenda on the Hill. If Blue Dog Democrats in House and moderate Democrats in the Senate pass this plan they deserve their political fate, the Obama White House thinks the USA is the UK or France, its not, its the New World, that the part the Chicago Mob in the White House cant or wont see, and that kind of political failure is worth of contempt of the first order, they had a chance to bring the USA together but they have further divided the USA. That is a contempt of the political system and the voter.

Terror Flights - Poland

Guardian: Reports on the role of Poland in Bush Era rendition plane flights in Poland. It should be noted that the Obama Administration is still using rendition flights, its to good a weapon against the terrorists who are a threat to the USA and the West. The problem with the left either in the USA or the UK is that they see terrorists as common criminals, sometimes one gets the impression that liberal and left wingers would rather give terrorists cups of tea and a biscuit than water board them to get active information out of them and thus save lives.

The Impeachment of President Bill Clinton



The New York Times: Reviews a new book on the Impeachment of President Bill Clinton, the article states the following, " Indeed, the most consequential result of both Clinton’s behavior and the Starr investigation was the election of George W. Bush. ". The liberal NYT of course has a liberal slant on the whole affair, no pun! But it can be argued that it is right about the election of Bush 43, from there we have 9/11, Afghanistan, for the first two one cant say Al Gore would have dealt with them any differently but one can postulate that Gore would not have gone in to Iraq.

Is PM Brown a BULLY ?

BBC News: Reports on the allegations that UK PM Gordon Brown has bullied his staff at 10 Downing Street. As a policy this blog does not post on these kind of issues but we have all faced the nasty bully from school to work or even on down time, out or in cyberspace. A bully has to be shown the red card, its shows a defect of character and in a PM, if true a disaster. If true and 10 Downing Street has denied the allegations the PM should admit it and get help, does not help him or the country, if he is abusive and a bully to staff what is he like on the diplomatic meetings when he does not get his way. The Tony Blair supporters have made this kind of allegation about PM Brown in the past, lets have an independent investigation and clear up this alleged abusive action by the UK PM, this is not Italy after all, this is the UK.
