Critical Moment in Ukraine Peace Talks

Guardian: Reports in its 3.49pm post that the coalition of the willing, UK,France and Germany had critical talks with US President Donald Trump on the Ukrainian peace plan.

Lets Get Real:

It has come to something, that the suppose Western Allies have to have a frank talk about European security, and the problem is not Russia as such, but the Oval Office.  This could be the break up of the Western Alliance, a system that has defended the US and Europe against the Evil Empire of Russia since the dawn of the Cold War.  The question is will Trump and coalition of the willing give security guarantees to Ukraine, does NATO still have a job.  Interesting days ahead.

Hillary Clinton and the 2016 Campaign - The Trump Era

The New York Times: Reviews a new book on the Clinton Campaign, " ... the portrait of the Clinton campaign that emerges from these pages is that of a Titanic-like disaster: an epic fail made up of a series of perverse and often avoidable missteps by an out-of-touch candidate and her strife-ridden staff that turned “a winnable race” into “another iceberg-seeking campaign ship.”

Lets Get Real:

The 2016 US Presidential Election will go down in history, it was not meant to end like it did, it recalls that famous photo of President Truman showing the headline from a newspaper that stated that he had lost the election, he of course had won.   In 1960 there was the close election between Kennedy and Nixon, and the iffy ballots in two States, in 2000 Gore should have won but he lost Florida and did not win his own home State.   In 2016 nearly ALL the polls showed that Hillary Clinton would win, and become the first woman President.  Well in the end Trump won the rust belt States.  As a contributor on CNN stated that DATA does not vote, the Clinton Campaign thought it understood the election process and how to engage the voter, through tracking mass data, it was bad mistake to make.   The LIBERAL LEFT will always blame the Russians, or the FBI, what they can not see and refuse to see is the FACT that HRC was a bloody bad candidate, she thought she was owed the Oval Office by right, in fact the US voter said NO, and they said that NO in the rust belt States, thus the electoral college win of Trump. 

The Polls - 2012 US Election

BBC News: Reports on the average of the latest polls in the US Presidential Election, the latest is a tied race, both President Obama and Governor Romney on 49%.

Lets Get Real:

Honesty is the best policy folks, this blog is looking for a 2000 or 2004 type race, in 2004 it was down to Ohio, as it could be this year, as of now one would have to give Ohio to POTUS, nearly all the polls have him tied or leading in the State.   On the other hand, if its really close race we could see Court Cases as in 2000, even the US Supreme Court coming in to play, that would be fun.   This blog has called the race for Obama, the fun for this blog as stated is looking at the final result and which Pollster got it right.    Lets hope this is not 1948, a lot of us would have big egg on our faces, voters do not to that, it would show that you have been laying through your back teeth or ALL pollsters are bent.   That is the fun of politics folks. 

Iowa Votes - Live Part Two

Telegraph Live - Iowa: Reports that former Republican frontrunner, the former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich had some tough words for his opponent Governor Romney, he stated he was with Reagan when he defeated the USSR, while Romney was on the left. The former House Speaker has a point, the Governor stated in one of his Mass Elections that he was not part of the Reagan/Bush crowd. Its on tape, hard to run away from, but even the Gipper was a Democrat, people can make mistakes, lets not forget that the Gipper in 1948 used to introduce the then President, Harry Truman in his election bid of 1948. Its odd but to my knowledge no one never used that against Reagan.

Jobs and Obama

The White House: Statement from President Obama on the US Senate’s rejection of his Jobs Plan. “ For the second time in two weeks, every single Republican in the United States Senate has chosen to obstruct a bill that would create jobs and get our economy going again. ”. What POTUS leaves out is the fact that the Republicans had Democratic support in blocking Obama. The President states the point of the plan, “ Every Senate Republican voted to block a bill that would help middle class families and keep hundreds of thousands of firefighters on the job, police officers on the streets, and teachers in the classroom when our kids need them most. ”. It shows how hollow the rhetoric is from the Oval, none of the jobs are in the private sector, Obama is just pandering to his base again, that is not being leader, does he watch the news from Greece, the public sector is going to take hit, if liberal or left wing politicians cant see that they are fools. This is about 2012 folks, even Obama states that in his own way, “ So the choice is clear. Our fight isn’t over. ”. The problem is someone has told Obama he is the next Harry Truman, sorry folks that is BS, is Obama so much in the bubble he cant see the real world any more, it can happen folks, but normally takes two terms for that effect to show in the Oval.

The Obama Jobs Plan

BBC News: Reports on President Obama’s 450 billion jobs plan, its elements contain tax cuts for small business and welfare spending. The speech was typical class warfare folks, Obama wants to tax the rich to pander to his liberal base, the august Joint Session of Congress was used as a political theatre. If Obama wants to play political games then the Republicans should pass the popular tax cuts and then say no to the rest, force Obama to come out of tax hikes, that might go down well with the liberal New York Times, but it wont work in a re-election year. The political opinion is that Obama wants the House to say No so he can argue in 2012 that he is running against a do nothing Congress, aka Harry Truman in 1948, the problem for POUTS is he is no Truman, the House Republicans were elected to say NO to Obama, after he passed ObamaCare, Democrats are having flashbacks if they think this trick would work with Obama as the nominee, this is blog is close to calling this election NOW, and it would be negative for Obama, lets see what other tricks Obama has, they better be good, otherwise he wont be Truman, he will be Walter Mondale.
