The End of the Obama Era and the 2014 Mid Terms

Telegraph: Reports " Barack Obama in political quarantine as campaign draws to a close..The President is having a fittingly subdued end to a subdued campaign season, cloistered in the White House with his advisors "

Lets Get Real:

IF the Republicans take the Senate the Oval could use Foreign Affairs to make sure he is till in the game, the Oval could try in its last two years to help create a Palestinian State, one that  Israel can live with, if not happy at least not opposed.  Then we come to the bad boys of International politics and not in a good way, Iran and North Korea, the Oval could try to get a deal that allows Iran to have civil nuclear power but not become a nuclear military power, on the other hand when it comes to North Korea the game is to get them to give up their nuclear material and bombs.    The above problems are hard to solve, but given two years the Oval could have a chance to try and get something from his 2nd term.    THIS BLOG is not holding its breath for a good result, but talk is better than war at the present. 

IS Update - War on Terror 2

Guardian: Reports " Isis fighters capture second Syrian gas field in a week..Hardline Sunni group posts photos on social media showing Islamic State flag raised in Jahar gas field in Homs "

Lets Get Real:

The more money that IS can get the more it is a threat, it has followers but it can also pay for terrorist hit abroad, the IS structure as shown on CNN is to play their PR to children, they are following the Soviet model, feed them a false distorted view of Islam and then develop them as future fighters.   IS is a cancer on the Islamic faith, it needs to be removed before its warped ideology becomes the norm in the Middle East.  After the 2014 Mid Terms the West has to take action in Syria and Iraq, this means not just more bombing, it means actual ground troops, this is the only way to defeat IS. 

Mid Terms 2014 on POTUS

The Hill: Reports " Republicans get what they want: A midterm election about Obama "

Lets Get Real:

If Obama's loses the Senate on Tuesday he will have to decide how he is going to run out the clock on his Presidency , does he work with Republicans on agreed issues, or does go extreme left and and use the powers of the Presidency to go around the Congress.  In 1986 before Iran - Contra broke Reagan lost the Senate, in that last two years he got tax reform and the passing of INF Treaty with Russia.   Thus POTUS does not have to be a lame duck President, if the Oval chooses to give a green card to millions of illegal immigrants then he could face trouble in the House and the Senate, there have been some wild calls to Impeach the Oval, if it goes down this route  those calls would more and less wild, thus what of relationship does Obama want with Congress is up to him.
