Obama TAX HIKER - Romney/Ryan Advert



Lets Get Real:

The Romney Camp hits POTUS over taxes, good advert, always better if an outside group supports you, seems to be giving fair judgement.    Lets see how the US voter reacts to the 1st Presidential debate.  It is a pity that Romney waited so long to come out of the gate fighting, the Chicago political mob defined him before he could really define himself.  But a good try from Romney. 

Obama HITS back after DEBATE - Obama/Biden Advert



Lets Get Real:

This is why President Obama will get a 2nd term folks, the Chicago Obama team hit back after a weak episode.   They hit Romney over his tax plan, stating that the Middle Class would pay for any Romney tax cuts.   The Chicago way might be low but it works folks. 

Syrian - Turkish Front - Syrian Update


Guardian: Reports the following from the Syrian - Turkish border, the Turks have  " fired into the county for a second day after shelling killed five civilians in a Turkish border town. ".

Lets Get Real:

Folks the Syrian and Turkish Governments might want to cool down the hot zone on the border, they can not control local Commanders from starting a War.   The Syrian Army knows the opposition can regroup on the Turkish  side of the border, thus these latest cross border incidents.   As the Syrian Civil War goes on the Syrian Army will get more angry and frustrated with Turkey being a safe zone for the rebels, thus the chance of more stray hits on Turkey, thus the real chance of War.   One can make a case for Turkey going in to Syria and overthrowing the Assad Regime, as long as they do not stay, the longer this Syrian Civil War goes on the more likely that a regional war will develop, also the threat of WMD's  being used.  Keep your eye on this story folks, there will be developments. 

Syrian - Turkish War ? - Syrian Update



Telegraph:  Reports that the Turkish Parliament has approved " ...approved military operations against targets in Syria following the deaths of five Turkish citizens from Syrian shelling. "

Lets Get Real:

This could be the October surprise of US elections folks, what if Turkey, a NATO member gets dragged in to a War with Syria, thus the US and President Obama would have no choice but to support its close ally.   While Iran would be supporting the Assad Regime.  The US left would go bonkers should POTUS after Libya get the US in to another War.   That could have been the reason that Obama was off his game at the 1st Presidential Debate.   Also when it comes to the Presidential debate of foreign affairs the Oval could be dealing with the growing perception in the US that the Oval covered up the terrorist attack on the US Consulate in Libya and that Obama is weak over Iran, that he has thrown Israel under the bus and he has not take clear action in Syria, thus the chance of a Syrian - Turkish War. Well President Obama wanted the job, the World does not rest for US Elections. 

Romney WINS 1st Debate - US Election 2012


BBC News: Reports that Governor Romney won the first of the US Presidential Debates of 2012.

Lets Get Real: 

It was interesting folks, as this blog has called the election for Obama it was more interested in what a 2nd Obama term would look like, thus my tweets of last night, in doing so this blog missed something, its how the Candidates appeared before the voters.   Thus while this blog had Romney winning the debate on substance it did not really take in to account the manner of either candidate.    Thus this blog fell in to 1960s trap, let me explain, those that listened to the 1960 debate between Kennedy and Nixon thought Nixon had won on substance, but of course it was the start of the TV age, and Kennedy won on PR.   Thus as mentioned by commentators Romney looked happy to be there, up for a fight, while POTUS wished he was anywhere else.  It showed.   This blog still thinks Obama is going to WIN, but it will be narrow, and there will be no mandate, just a 2nd term.  It was a good show by Romney if to late, it might help in Congressional races, the 2nd debate should be fun folks, Obama can not afford another bad debate.
