Syria Crisis - Syrian Update

Telegraph: Reports the latest on the Syrian Crisis, " Russian officials told the Daily Telegraph that Moscow was prepared to ease the Syrian president out of power. ".

Lets Get Real: 

The WASP in this deal folks is Iran, the Tehran Regime will want President Assad to hang on, the Assad Regime gives Iran access to covertly attack Israel through Lebanon and Gaza.   If Assad goes one can expect that Iran will push to get the bomb, they have seen what happened to Gaddafi of Libya when he gave him his WMDs, he got a bayonet in not a nice place before he was killed, while North Korea can blackmail the world because it has the bomb.  To secure the Assad the Regime the Tehran Regime has been sending military supplies through Iraqi airspace, thus far the Obama Administration has not placed enough pressure on Iraq to stop these flights.  The Syrian Civil War, the unrest in Egypt, Iran on the way to the bomb, Israel building will ALL be on the desk of Secretary Kerry.   When it comes to Syria its not only Russia folks, its the Persian threat from Iran, lets see if Kerry is as good as he thinks he is, if 2004 election is any judge, God Help US. 

Mr Secretary - State Update

Guardian: Reports the following on the selection of Senator Kerry to be the new US Secretary of State, ".. is expected to have a relatively easy ride through the congressional approval process, .. ".

Lets Get Real:

This is a mistake folks, the Oval and the State will but heads sooner or later, one can guess that Kerry thinks he should be in the Oval, as Secretary of State he could cause real problems for the Oval and the Democrats.  One has to postulate that before POTUS bombs Iran he will have Secretary of State who will want to visit Tehran, try to get a deal, a deal that Israel will never accept and thus problems for the Oval and Israel.   Lets be clear, Kerry has been marked by his service in Vietnam, what ever you think about that service, he was an anti Vietnam protester, so he is going to support POTUS if he has to make the hard decision to bomb Tehran as to prevent Israel taking action and starting a regional war.   The Europeans might love the idea of Kerry at  State but Democrats in 2014 and 2016 might have to highly critical of him down the line, but then the Oval does not listen to this blog, wise or not is a matter of opinion, happy holidays Mr President.  

Boehner on Fiscal Cliff - Fiscal Update PT2

BBC News: Reports that Republican Speak John Boehner still hopes a deal can be done to prevent the US going over the fiscal cliff, this would mean tax hike ALL Americans and welfare cuts. 

Lets Get Real:

Any US recession should the US go over the cliff would be a Obama recession, his 2nd term would over before it starts, the Oval knows this, thus the Republicans should make it clear to its Speaker and the Oval that they will NOT MOVE, that they can wait out the Oval, they can wait for the decision of the US voter in 2014, and of course 2016.   Thus would break the Obama's 2nd term, if the Republicans just say NO to any  bill that the Oval wants then the Obama term will be seen as a failure.   The Republicans should just pass defence spending increases, and that IS it, NOTHING ELSE, show the OVAL that it has to deal or be a political dodo, it comes to 2nd terms sometime, why wait, if Obama wants to play Chicago rules, lets go all the way, as they say in Texas, ALL IN, Obama is the one that is seeking a legacy, one can say if the Republicans retake the Oval and Senate in 2016 they will revoke ObamaCare, thus Obama needs the Republicans, lets see if his ego gets that basic political message. 

POTUS on the Fiscal Cliff - Update

Lets Get Real:

This is typical class warfare from POTUS, the President states the following on his fiscal plan , ".. a balanced proposal that cuts spending but also asks the wealthiest Americans to pay more; a proposal that will strengthen the middle class over the long haul and grow our economy over the long haul..."  A plan folks that hits the very people that spend money in the US economy, the Middle Class spend to get by the week, its the wealthy that pay for those goods that hire workers that get the good pay.   The idea that tax cuts for the Middle Class help the US economy is rubbish, this is typical of a President who thinks SMALL, this is not Kennedy aiming for the moon by 1970 or Reagan calling the USSR an Evil Empire.   In fact Obama has gutted NASA and sold out the Eastern Europe allies of the US to please Putin of Russia.   This is a President who thinks small and wants to be a big fish in a very small pond, his pond.   Lets hope the Democrats chose a better nominee for 2016, someone who has actually created a job in the private sector and has a big dreams, also to be balanced, that the Republicans choose another Reagan.   The US after 8 years of Obama will need a New Reagan.
