Democrats and ObamaCare

The Hill: Reports that Democrats leaving Congress in 2012 are now saying that ObamaCare was a mistake. The question that has to be asked folks of these BRAVE politicians is why they didn’t open their mouths when Obama was pushing through ObamaCare when it was opposed by a majority of the US voters. Its easy to be HONEST when you nearly out of the door, real leadership is saying NO when you have something to lose. What ever you think of POTUS, at least he still defends it, might be crazy in political terms but it shows a kind of leadership.

The One Billion Campaign ?

Guardian: Reports that the Obama Campaign is not expected to meet expectations and raise 1 billion for the General Election.   This is interesting folks, as today in US politics money is the mothers milk that can decide if you win or lose, its not the final judge, but if you no money your out, that is one of the reasons that Senator Santorum threw in the towel. Also with the US Supreme Court opening the gates to unlimited cash donations to Super Pacs, this this helps the Republicans, as the article notes, “ the conservative Super Pacs are accummulating vast war chests. Their figures, too, have to be released by Friday. ”.   Unlike 2008 Obama does not have much of a fan base in the business world, his Administration is seen as the most negative towards business in history, from ObamaCare to new regulations on Wall Street. Thus in General Election terms its an even match folks, the General Election Campaign has already started folks, got to love money and politics, its called Democracy.

Is Syria the NEXT Libya ? = Arab Spring

Telegraph: Reports that Western Leaders have threatened to take action in Syria by setting up humanitarian corridors due to the Syrian Regime not honouring the UN Ceasefire.   If you read the article closely folks this can be seen a last ditch effort by the French President to get some military glory before the two rounds of the French election, as usual the FCO does not want to take action, no great surprise. What is interesting is that the US is starting to put the military option on the table, it can be argued that neither President Obama or French President Sarkozy want another Bosnia on their hands, what Libya did show is that when NATO really takes action, and the opposition is a paper tiger in many respects, as was the case with Libya forces, then NATO can win. The UK Coalition Government will not want to part of any military action that does not have UN approval, on the other hand if the US goes in the UK goes in, also if Turkey states that it is under threat from the low level civil war in Syria then NATO as a whole has to take action, thus the UK, one way or another folks this could get tricky quite fast, lets hope the action is due to military need not a quick political fix. As military action in Syria by NATO would lead it can be argued to conflict between the West and Iran, the Tehran Regime will back its only real last ally in the region. This could be the start of a Proxy War in Syria folks.
