The Hillary Clinton Record - NYT

The New York Times: Reports the following on the record of Hillary Clinton as US Secretary of State under President Obama, " ..a dogged diplomat and a sometimes frustrated figure who prized her role as team player, but whose instincts were often more activist than those of a White House that has kept a tight grip on foreign policy. ". 

Lets Get Real:

In other words folks you can start to think of Hillary 2016, even  before Clinton is out of the door and Senator Kerry takes over the Clinton camp wants to distance itself from the Obama Oval, in other words they see dark clouds in the future, from the Middle East to Korea, they must fear that Israel and the US will fall out big time over Iran, that Israel will take action and that the Obama Oval will be lukewarm in its support, also North Korea is on the blackmail road again, thus the US will have to feed the poor people of North Korea while its Government spends money on rockets.    In the shape of Bill Clinton, you have one of the best political thinkers in the business, he must assume that Obama's poll ratings will be in the tank or bad enough that Democrats will need some distance between the nominee and the Oval.   If Obama goes down the Neville Chamberlain road of Appeasement when it comes to Iran it could hurt the Democratic nominee in 2016, the Jewish vote in Florida could come out big for the Republican Nominee, also POTUS will not be on the ticket, thus the large African - American vote can not be counted on, it did not turn out in 2010 for the Mid Terms, thus folks, the election of 2016 might not be like 2008 and 2012, never fight the last election folks, its a dangerous game, if things go sour for Obama expect the Clinton camp to say if she had stayed the result would have been different, the Clintons play to win folks, they will do what it takes, this will not be 2008 again, the Clintons will win this time, the big old dog will be back in the White House, and Hillary will be in the Oval. 

Appeasement of the Obama Administration - Iran

Guardian: Reports on a speech by VP Biden, the VP stated the following on Iran, " is prepared to hold direct talks with Iran amid the standoff over its nuclear ambitions.. ".

Lets Get Real: 

As this blog stated when covering the start of Obama's 2nd term speech, any President who uses Peace in our Time is following the path of 1930s Appeaser Neville Chamberlain,  Iran has made it clear that it wants the bomb, it has shown its heel to so many times to POTUS one would think that the Oval would get the message.   This is the real face of Obama, he will appease Iran and then North Korea, it is time for Israel to hit Iran before it become a nuclear armed power, via its own efforts or with the help of North Korea.   The Oval has shown itself weak when it comes to the Arab Spring, it threw a Western supporting ally in Egypt under the bus, it has been weak in the support of Israel, it has allowed thousands of deaths in Syria, it has allowed Middle East to get quite hot over the last few years.  Obama's weakness like Chamberlain will lead to WAR. 

Corruption Scandal in Spain - EU

BBC News: Reports that Spanish PM Mariano Rajoy has denied being corrupt, after allegation of back handers for building contracts. 

Lets Get Real:

If your asking the people to go through tough austerity you have to be cleaner than cleaner, if the people think you are living the hight life through corruption while they in essence starve you will have demonstrations and riots on the streets, thus the reaction of the Spanish people.  On the other hand the left liberal elite will have a field day with this story, if a right wing Party is in power expect any story to have a negative slant, that is just the way it works folks.   One suspects that Mr Rajoy is a goner, just a matter of time before the Party replaces him, Political Parties do not like voter losers, and Mr Rajoy looks like a big time voter lose, thus the wheels of democracy are moving folks, one finished Spanish PM.
