Are the Clintons waitng for political payback for political traitors - 2016


Lets Get Real:

Do the US voters want another Nixon in the White House, the above story sounds very Nixon, the Crown was there for the taking by Hillary Clinton but she lost to President Obama, the Clintons never forgive, and the use of the race card on Bill Clinton is something one can understand the lack of forgiveness for, Bill Clinton was seen as the 1st black President, and for the Obama Campaign to use the race card must have hurt Bill Clinton,  also long term friends got on the USS Obama and left the Clintons on the shore, Hillary Clinton was made Secretary of State, and President Obama tried to get on with Bill for a limited time, just he didn't need the constant talks.  Bill Clinton likes to talk, as President he was never on time, correction, when he was sworn in as President.    Fun time ahead for Americans, will Hillary run, will she win, and what will the Old Dog do in the White House. 

Gates on Gates - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian: Reports the following from Washington D.C on remarks by former US Defence Secretary Robert Gates and his memoir, the article notes the following, " Former defence secretary Robert Gates defends book as 'an honest account'. "

Lets Get Real:

This blogger has the Gates book on order, one can say that the former Secretary has been very blunt and candid, VP Biden is hopeless at foreign policy and always has been, Hillary Clinton and President Obama ran their campaigns not on real objection to the Iraq War but for political reasons, the President sent thousands of Soldiers in to Afghanistan based on a military strategy did not think would work, LBJ all over again.  Has President Obama listened to the LBJ tapes, will the press really ask him tough questions the next time he does  a press conference.   Also Hillary Clinton has been hiding, when we she deal with the allegation that she ran 2008 on pure political motives not policy.    One has to wonder is Robert Gates is looking for the VP spot on the Republican ticket in 2016.   Everything is political in D.C.

Obama/Iran vs. The US Congress - Iran Crisis

The White House: Released the following statement on the deal between the UN and Iran over its nuclear plans, the statement contained the following threat to Congress, " Imposing additional sanctions now will only risk derailing our efforts to resolve this issue peacefully, and I will veto any legislation enacting new sanctions during the negotiation. ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus President Obama would rather trust Tehran than his fellow Democrats, the question that the Congress has to ask does it trust the judgement of President Obama, lets see has he got, Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq right in his years in power, the answer would be a NO, the Democrats on the Hill will pay the political price if this is a con job by Tehran, the Israeli Lobby should place pressure on the Congress to pass tougher sanctions, get Obama to VETO any new sanctions, and thus when it falls apart it will be down to the Oval.   The Democrats can not afford to be soft, they are on the ballot in 2014, not President Obama, the Windy City has lost its power, the question is will it take the Democrats with it 2014 and 2016.
