Telegraph: Reports that President Obama has asked VP Biden to run with him in 2012. If this is true it shows that President Obama has lost the plot and needs to get to a darken room and take some tea and biscuits. Lets deal with Joe Biden first, the man is a walking foot in the mouth, who announces this kind of news before the 2010 Mid Term Congressional Elections when your Party is on the ropes. Also a President going in to a second term needs a VP that can run after his four years, that was the fault with the selection of VP Cheney for the 2nd term, a VP who wants to run will make sure the Administration does not lose all connection with the US voter, thus Bush 41 VP to Ronald Reagan ran in 1988 and won, this was good for the Reagan record and allowed Reagan to leave the mess of Iran - Contra for Bush 41 to clear up at the end of his Presidency. Even to be fair to Al Gore ( takes some effort ) he won the popular vote in 2000 but didn’t win Florida. In the view of Gore it was the fault of Bill Clinton and his Impeachment that he lost the 2000 Presidential Election, even Hillary Clinton in 2008 had face worries as to what Bill would get up to in the White House if he was bored! Thus the elites in the Democratic Party and the liberal elite media will see this as a massive mistake, Obama really needs to dump Biden, does not matter if he likes him, Presidential politics is a ruthless business.

ObamaCare US Court Challenge
The New York Times: Reports that a US Court in the US State of Florida has allowed 20 States to Challenge ObamaCare. Lets recall folks that the US Supreme Court is an equal of the Presidency and the US Congress in the US Constitution, the Supremes are the final Court of Appeal, their word is law, should they find ObamaCare illegal its over for the Obama Presidency. The President spent a year and half pushing ObamaCare and it could cost him the control of Congress, what if the US Supreme Court throws out ObamaCare, this would mean than going in to 2012 the Obama Administration had nothing to show for four years. Lets recall a majority of the US Justices have been appointed by Republican Presidents, over the years the Justices have become more Conservative. Also Obama has been quite critical of the US Supreme Court, the Court might to decide to clip the wings of the Obama Presidency, one can almost see it happening, does the Court have the guts to take on the Chicago Crowd in the White House.

Lady Thatcher ill - Birthday Party
BBC News: Reports that Lady Thatcher was taken ill before a Birthday Celebration at 10 Downing Street, the event was announced at the Conservative Party Conference by Coalition PM and Conservative Leader David Cameron. Lets hope the great Lady gets well soon, the Thatcher Era as a golden time for the UK, those that recall the period will always have fond memories of Lady Thatcher. Those that will not have fond memories will be the Trade Unions, the old USSR, Argentina, the BBC, the pro Europeans within the Conservative Party. Not a lot that you would want to be a member of, those were the days folks.
