Israel delays INVASION of Gaza on US request - Israeli - Gaza War - Biden Era

BBC News - Live Blog: Reports in 23.51am post the following, " Ground offensive delayed, says BBC partner network CBS...We've just heard from CBS News, the BBC's US broadcast partner, that Israel is delaying the ground offensive into Gaza.....Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel was preparing for a ground invasion of Gaza, but he would not say when it would happen, adding it would be reached by consensus.  "

Lets Get Real:

It is reported that the US has requested a delay as to get its  FORCES ready should Israel attack Gaza and terrorists cells attack the US as a response.   This delay can only be a for a few days, the Israeli Army has made it clear that it is ready, a leadership is about taking decisions, that is the role of a successful leader, a leader willing to take risks.  In 2003 Tony Blair was offered an out to the US invasion of Iraq, he di not take it, and has paid the price since.   The Israeli PM is known for being a dither by nature, so he has to get his mind in to the WAR LERADERSHIP ROLE, ISRAEL will not wait forever for him to make the final call, whatever the US President wants, Israel has to stand tall and be tough, with the enemy and its friends. 

Network's Birthday = 40 - Modern TV News

Guardian: Reports " Network at 40: the flawed satire that predicted Trump and cable 'news porn'...Prescient and powerful, the film foreshadowed the likes of Bill O’Reilly with its ‘mad as hell’ protagonists and the climate of American anger that birthed Trump "

Lets Get Real:

IF you are a real news junkie you have seen Network, if you have not seen Network then you are not a news junkie, it showed the future from 1970s, it misses out on the Internet but then nothing is perfect.    It shows how ratings is the game, or today clicks on websites, how news would be sexed up, it should have a fast pace, and in your face as represented by the main character in the movie.  Over this holiday period try to watch it again or buy the DVD.  To the modern viewer it will shock you how close it is to reality, I would tell you end but that would be a spoiler even after so many decades, it does shock.

2014 Mid Terms and POTUS - 2016 Election

Guardian: Reports on the problems faced by President Obama, " But this year there is more than the traditional six-year itch. Crises in Ukraine, Iraq and Syria; hysteria over Ebola; and an obstructionist Republican Congress that is on pace to pass the fewest number of laws in American history, "

Lets Get Real:

The problem is in part the above, but also the fact that President Obama is NO DEAL MAKER, in the shape of LBJ, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, you must at least give the impression that you like the House and the Senate, if you want it all your own way then when you hit the skids in the polls there is no support to back you up.  President Obama was treated like the 2nd coming by some in the media, the problem is that he started to read his own press statements.   President Obama is a Chicago Pol, nothing more or less, the liberal press protected him, when they should have been scathing, only Fox News gave him a hard time, that's the only TV News that POTUS watches, he never mentions ABC, NBC, CBS or MSNBC, as they still treat him as secular God.  They are paternal racist in many respects.   Thus with POTUS at the bottom of the polls his fellow Democrats are looking after their own careers, after all Presidents only get two terms, their power wanes to nothing by the last years of their term.   Thus President Obama is out in many respects, the new play is 2016 and will any one on the Democratic side challenge Hillary Clinton for the nomination, IS there another Obama out there, there is still time for a new contender to the Crown. 

It's the FAULT of the Media - Obama = Nixon = Watergate

CNN - Politics: Reports that President Obama in part blames his political woes on the media, the article notes the following, " ..twice in the past few days he has laid part of the blame for an anxious public at the feet of the media. "

Lets Get Real:

If POTUS really thinks the above is true, then he should resign and hand the job over to Vice President Biden, the elite media for years have loved and covered up for President Obama, they have been forced to report news after Fox News and few other brave reporters started to dig deep in to the Obama Administration and did not allow their own views to reflect their reporting.   In Foreign Policy President Obama is the worse President since Jimmy Carter, while on the domestic front Watergate looks small when you look at the scandals of the Obama Administration, the Oval has covered up the death of an American Ambassador in Libya, the press still do not know what POTUS was doing the critical hours of the attack at the US Consulate in Libya.   Then we have the IRS going after Conservative groups, then reporters being investigated and their sources traced.    It is is time the elite media woke up and treated Obama like any other President.

The Vets Scandal in the US - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: Reports the following from the Obama White House, " President Barack Obama has vowed to punish those responsible for "dishonourable" alleged misconduct at hospitals for US military veterans. "

Lets Get Real:

This is typical of President Obama, he shocked by a scandal, promises action, and then when the press interest dies down he will say its a made up scandal, from Libya to the IRS the Obama Administration looks after its own, never any close to the President is sacked, even the Cabinet is protected, at least past Administrations had the grace to fire either people in the White House or at Cabinet level.  The liberal media will cover for Obama, they will have a few days of attacking the Oval and the Administration then they will move on to another matter, with CNN it will be the missing plane, with Fox it will be ALL the other scandals that they say the Administration should pay for, it will be interesting to see how the liberal NYT covers the story, one wonders if they will find a way to blame Republicans.  Lets see how the 24/7 news cycle plays out on this issue. 

Millions HURT by ObamaCare - 2nd Term Blues

CBS News: Reports the following on ObamaCare, " CBS News has learned more than two million Americans have been told they cannot renew their current insurance policies -- more than triple the number of people said to be buying insurance under the new Affordable Care Act .. ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks when you have CNN, CBS putting the boot in to ObamaCare the Oval should be worried, the STORY is to big for the liberal elite to cover for the White House, if the ObamaCare website is not fixed by Nov 30th then you can expect Senate Democrats facing re-election in 2014 to break with the White House, it has been fun to see Democrats getting their knickers in a twist defending ObamaCare and the website, but BS is BS at the end of the day folks.   Those facing tough re-election fights in Conservative States or Districts will understand if they are OUT of Office they will be seen as political losers and they will not be able to help the voters or themselves.   Thus the next few weeks will be tricky for the Oval and the Hill, the better have the best I.T geeks working on the problem, and fix it, otherwise ALL HELL will break lose within the Democratic Party.   Then the fun will start folks. 

The IRS and the Congress Part 2

Guardian: Reports the following on the IRS Tax Scandal, " Lois Lerner says she has 'done nothing wrong' before leaving hearing into targeting of conservative groups over tax status  ".

Lets Get Real:

It was reported last night that Lois Lerner would plead the 5th before the hearing, but what was shocking was the fact that she made the above statement then then invoked her 5th, the Chairman of the Committee had her dead to rights, by making that statement the witness had waved her rights to plead the 5th, this blog is no lawyer, but knows enough law that once a witness makes a statement she or he loses the right to use the 5th and must answer questions. If the witness does not the Committee can site the witness for Contempt of Congress and throw them in jail.   The House Committee should ask her back, and since she made a statement force to answer ALL questions, even if she lands herself in trouble.  One can see that the 5th plea will or should lead the Evening News tonight in the US, this blog will be watching, lets see what, NBC and CBS do with the story, CNN is in the tank for the Obama Oval.  Shows how a great network once a rebel can become part of the establishment.   These networks should be asking why the Obama DofJ is going after Fox and the AP and not them, are they seen as part of the fold and not a threat, your either a rebel news operation or your nothing folks. 

Obama and the IRS - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian: Reports that the Obama White House Counsel, " ..learned of targeting of conservative groups on 22 April, 18 days before president  ".

Lets Get Real:

If the Oval was no told that the tax scandal was coming then the Oval is being let down by his White House staff, but lets recall the the Oval did not answer a direct question when asked by a reporter if any one in the White House knew about the story before it broke, he  just said he didn't know, in other words weasel words.   This is a major scandal folks, the targeting of Tea Party and Conservative groups through two election cycles, and NO ONE told the Oval, there is out of touch and not being on the planet, this story has been rumbling for years, and NO ONE mentioned it the Oval, a recent source told CBS news that they were more idiots that Nixon, that really helps, and these people are in charge of US security.    A US Senate Committee has asked for who knew what when, lets see what that brings up, this story stinks folks, it has Chicago dirty pool written ALL over it, lets see what other dirt comes, this is just the start folks, trust me. 

Benghazi COVER UP - 2nd Obama Term

ABC News: Has an exclusive on the Libya talking points scandal, the article notes that the State Department with pressure from the White House removed all mention of a terrorist attack and its links to Al Qaeda.  The article notes the following, " the Al Qaeda-affiliated group Ansar al-Sharia be deleted as well references to CIA warnings about terrorist threats in Benghazi in the months preceding the attack. ".

Lets Get Real:

It will be interesting folks to see how much coverage the US Nightly News shows give to this scandal, since its a ABC news story one would hope some coverage, the EXTREME liberal NBC News will be interesting to watch, to be fair as Fox News pointed out the CBS News had give the story four minutes, for a elite news broadcast that is an age.   Lets see if CNN covers this story, since the UK gets the CNN nightly news, ALL is has covered for the past few days is domestic criminal matters, even when the victims have asked for privacy.    The Republicans should get Hillary Clinton under oath, really get to the heart of this matter, was the State Department out of her control, did she not know that State was rewriting intelligence material, lets see which President faced that charged, somewhere at the front of my mind, yes her husband is the black sheep of that family, his words at the opening of the Bush 43 Presidential Library, lets clear this up once and for all, lets put Hillary Clinton under oath. 

Woodward vs. Obama's Oval

CNN - Politics: Reports the following on the war of words between the Obama Oval and famed Watergate reporter Bob Woodward, the article notes the following, " An email exchange between two old Washington hands ....is at the center of a political controversy Thursday as two sides read the messages differently. ". 

Lets Get Real: 

Lets see what the elite press do folks, do they support one of the men that bought down Richard Nixon, or the Chicago Oval,  the press should recall Nixon's enemies list, and if it Bob Woodward today, it could be them next, lets recall your dealing with a Chicago political operation, they think D.C is an extension of Chicago, and thus the same ruthless rules apply.    This blog tends to take the corner of Woodward on this, who would you trust, the man that bought down Nixon on a Chicago run Oval.    If its the Oval you should not be reading this blog, your simple or a New York Times/Guardian reader. 

Emotional Blackmail and Taxes - 2nd Obama Term

CNN - Politics: Reports the following on the effects of the agreed governments cuts if they came in to effect as stated by President Obama, " ..warned Tuesday of diminished emergency services, longer airport security lines and other problems.. ". 

Lets Get Real: 

One is surprised that the Oval did not have starving children and weeping mothers at the front, yes folks its that low, might work, the liberal ellite media, CNN etc will run the Oval line, the elite media will not ask the Oval if its is ready to suspend ObamaCare during this crisis, or suspend its money throwing policies when it comes to green issues.   The Republicans should just tell the elite media to get stuffed, refused to do interviews, only do Fox News, those interviews are balanced and fair, time for Republicans to grown a steel backbone, and tell the Oval it has to make major cuts in welfare before any agreement.    The Oval respects a steel resistance as mentioned, time for Republicans to be more like Reagan, call a spade a spade, Obama is a tax and spend liberal, just say NO. 

The Liberal Left and Obama - 2012 Election

Guardian - US Election Live: Reports the following on MSNBC, " Cable news hosts on MSNBC are in danger of disappearing up their own hysteria before this election is over. ".

Lets Get Real:

Voter if you really want to send the NYT, ABC,NBC,CBS, in the UK Guardian and the BBC bonkers just election Governor Romney, if that was to happen you would hear the mental scream from both sides of the Atlantic, the News divisions would be on 24 hours Prozac.   Lets get serious, the uber left wing news media, in both print and TV/Internet have so much invested in the 1st African - American President that if he was to lose they would lose, so expect a wave of critical stories on Romney close to election day.    That is the one thing that will happen, people and and institutions do not change much folks.
