Downfall of the Obama Agenda ?

CNN: Reports on the political troubles of the Democrats running in 2010 Mid Term Elections, how the Obama Agenda from health care reform to the removal of terrorists from Guantanamo to the US mainland could have sunk the Democrats and the control of Congress. An interesting and very fair piece from the elite media, if in the White House would not show this to President Obama, he is rather think skinned when it comes to critic of his Agenda. The article makes a very important point that Obama could have read his election as support for his LIBERAL Agenda and not a negative vote against Bush 43. If the Congress goes Republican, President Obama will have to make a choice, move to centre and get re-elected or keep to his LIBERAL Agenda and go down to major defeat in 2012.

Gallup 50% Disapprove of Obama !

Gallup: Reports on its latest daily job approval poll for President Obama, today President Obama stands at 50% Disapproval and 43% approval. If these numbers stay the same in November then Democrats will get wiped out in Congress. The Democrats are throwing all the BS they can at the Republicans, they are being helped by the elite US media, lets see if the Tea Party Movement has the effect of moving an arrogant President to the middle, or does Obama want to be another Jimmy Carter.

Message from the Olympic Gods - No more POTUS ?

Daily Mail: Reports that the Seal of the US President fell of its lectern when President Obama was giving a speech. This could be a warning from the political GODS to Obama, one minute President then a one term President. Thus President Obama really has to start looking at his re-election Campaign, he has to get Independents back in to the fold or he will face losing 48/49 States in 2012. A good way to win re-election would be to dump his ObamaCare, but that would take political wisdom and courage, Obama still thinks he is the smartest man in the room! He thinks he can get out of Afghanistan without any political pain, no wonder the Seal fell off, it thinks that is beyond funny. Read of the Day.

The LEFT on PM Speech

Guardian: As the liberal left in the US has the liberal and bloated NYT, the UK has the Guardian, as expected the Guardian commentators gives the Cameron not much credit. Explains why Labour lost the election in May.

Lady Thatcher 85th Birthday = 10 Downing Street

Telegraph: Reports that the Iran Lady of UK Politics Lady Thatcher will spend her 85th birthday in 10 Downing Street next week. I recall the day Mrs Thatcher as she was then departed 10 Downing Street, she had been stabbed in the back by her own Cabinet, it was one of the most shameful events in Conservative history, yes Sir John Major did win the 1992 election but the Conservative Party took years to recover from that act of political assassination. Lets be honest folks, as for great PM’s there is Churchill and Thatcher, the rest are so 2nd rate, one can argue that Tony Blair should be up there, but Iraq causes a shadow over the time of Tony Blair. The UK was lucky to have Lady Thatcher as PM, she was great, lets hope she has many more happy birthdays in 10 Downing Street.

The Conference Speech by PM David Cameron

BBC News: Reports on the first conference speech by the Coalition PM and Conservative Leader David Cameron. Subjective Verdict: The speech was excellent! The PM attacked the Labour record but didn’t hide the tough spending cuts ahead, he asked the UK voter to come together as he ( generic term ) was called in World War One, thus PM Cameron stated twice that the “ Your Country Needs You ”. The PM stated the importance of the individual in many respects, in a paradox it did recall those famous lines, that there is no such thing as society, the Cameron Society is the Civic Society, thus in a paradox a one nation conservative view of society. Thus you have Thatcherism and One Nation Conservatism merged. That takes some brain power. Its time for the UK voter to get off his backside and get back to work, either through job creation, and getting his neighbour hood back under civic control, no more yobs. It as very JFK in many respects. Objective View: The Speech was to long, could see the point of developing the Big Society argument of David Cameron and how this focus on the individual and groups of people who want to help the Country. The speech was far better than the Ed Miliband speech, that would not take much, but Labour might find that the real successor to Tony Blair is David Cameron, one could have seen Blair at his height stating the very same themes of the speech. Cameron still on to win in 2015.
