Obama's DIVE in the POLLS - 2nd Term Blues


Lets Get Real:

Folks sooner or later, every US 2nd term President finds that he losses support on the Hill, either through scandal OR just the political cycle, in many respects a 2nd term President is a lame duck the moment he wins, the less power a Oval has is directed by his poll numbers, as noted my morning tweet, a CBS/NYT poll had POTUS on a 43% Approval rating, the US economy has not returned to its 2008 level, there are millions of Americans who have given up looking for a job, thus they are not counted in those seeking a job, thus the unemployment rate is low, not due to people getting hired but because people have fallen in to thinking what is the point, also with ObamaCare if you hire a person for under 30 hours do not have to give them healthcare, thus many working class and graduates find themselves doing part time jobs or jobs that do not require a degree.   On the international stage Obama has had to deal with the Snowden scandal and that disaster that is the US policy over Syria, in many respects 2nd term Presidents have more freedom on the World Stage than at home, Obama has failed to get that fact, he makes demands of Congress as if he is back in early 2009, well folks the political train has moved, there are the 2014 Mid Terms coming up, the Democrats will not get the House back, but they have to fight to keep the Senate, and then we have 2016, every 2nd term President finds at the end if he ran naked around the White House the press would not be interested, there is Iowa in 2016 then comes NH, then the Primary debates and then we have the general.   That is the thing about democracy folks, it moves on, new leaders and issues, thank goodness for democracy folks. 

ObamaCare Part 2 - 2nd Term Blues


Lets Get Real:

The Republicans in the House and Senate have to stand firm on the debt ceiling, not allow their leaders to roll over, the Republicans should not shut down the Government, this blog does not think it would be a political disaster that the elite media is throwing out every time, when you look at the results of the last shut downs in the 90s, the Republicans did not lose the House and in 2000 Bush 43 won the Presidency.   If you remove the threat of a shut down the job of the Oval is to manage the debt of the US, thus if the Oval wants to spend more it needs to raise the debt ceiling, well the Republicans should make the Oval pay, the price being a delay for 1 year in ObamaCare.   The elite establishment will argue that the US will lose its credit rating, what does having a 17 trillion debt do the long term credit rating of the US, the welfare state of the US is killing the US dream, it does not work in such a vast Country as the US, the US is not Belgium, a European welfare state does not work when you have a population of over three hundred million and growing.  To save the US the Republicans have to stand together, delay ObamaCare. 

ObamaCare the US Debt Ceiling - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: Reports that the Republican House will only agree to a raise in the debt ceiling if ObamaCare is delayed for the year.

Lets Get Real: 

This is a smart move by the House, ObamaCare by its own extensive structure is falling apart, the Oval has suspended many aspects of ObamaCare because the structure is not there, as an example the employer part of ObamaCare has be delayed in till next year, even the insurance exchanges might NOT WORK on time.   The House should stay firm on this, no raise in the debt ceiling no matter what, the price of the US paying its BILLS should be that ObamaCare is thrown in to the long grass for the year, thus ALL parts ObamaCare come in to effect at the same time.   A year is a long time in politics folks, then you get in to the 2014 Mid Terms and the run up to the 2016 Presidential Election, if the Republicans can hold the line how many Democrats are going to support ObamaCare that close to an election cycle.  That is the fun of politics folks.
