The Washington Post: Reports on the Transition period between the Election and the Inauguration of the new President on January 20th 2009. The article to be fair still has McCain in the race but lets cut the bull its going to be an Obama Administration. Obama should seek the advice of Bill Clinton on this matter, his transition was not great, the period become defined as Gays in the military issue, rather than the economy, the Post writes the following on the view of those that are dealing with the transition on the Obama side, " They believe that much of President Bill Clinton's ineffectiveness in his first year can be traced to bad decisions during the transition and his first days in office. " . The Clinton Administration also went through more nominees for Attorney General that I have had healthy meals! Thus this is an important period for a new Obama Administration. The first two things he will face will be calls for tax raises before he gets his tax cuts and also as the Post writes, " Antiwar groups would press Obama to start the process of ending the war in Iraq. ". Its one thing to Campaign on ending the War in Iraq its another when the War is over, its Afghanistan that has seen more deaths of late not Iraq. If an Obama Administration gets out to quick, a few very bad things could happen, a Civil War in Iraq, Iran invading or taking over Iraq. The price of Oil going up due to Iran taking over the Oil of Iraq. All these problems would come from an Obama plan to get out of Iraq in a hurry. The left has not interest in Afghanistan either but Obama would lose his second term if he either got out of Afghanistan or attacked Pakistan. Thus a President Elect Obama will have to make sure that his Administration is not defined by others or by own mistakes.

The Obama Transition Period Part Three
The Washington Post: Reports on the Transition period between the Election and the Inauguration of the new President on January 20th 2009. The article to be fair still has McCain in the race but lets cut the bull its going to be an Obama Administration.

New Zogby Poll
Reuters/Zogby Poll: A interesting new Poll, this finds the Obama lead down to three points. Mr Joe the Plumber has been effective. The Poll finds the following, Obama 48% - McCain 45%. The spread the wealth comment has really hurt Obama, also the Liberal attack on Mr Joe, an ordinary guy that wants to work hard and look after his family, this worry that Obama is some extreme liberal that wants to take the USA down the road that the UK went down in the 1970s and become the Sick Man of Europe. If was on the McCain Campaign I would send Mr Joe to some Blue States, let him tell his story, he was very effective on Huckabee last night. The Liberal Press have given Joe more of hard time that they have Obama over Ayers, Wright and ACORN. As stated Obama will win but it wont be a landslide, in 2000 George W. Bush won the Presidency and had Congress for most of his term, that turned out well. The American voter might vote for Obama for President but split their vote and vote for the Republican for Congress. The USA seems to work well when the Presidency and Congress area lead by different Parties. A Republican Congress would prevent Obama going to far to the left, also would make sure that he had a tough Foreign Policy, otherwise a Liberal Congress would drag Obama to more to the left, talks with Cuba and Iran, surrender in Iraq. How long before the left want to talk to the Taliban in Afghanistan. Thus it can be postulated that that Obama will win the Presidency but the American Voter might want to balance that out with a Republican leading or power full Republican element in the Congress.
Obama Administration Part Two
The Sunday Times: Reports on the up and coming Obama Administration, the names you would expect Senator John F. Kerry for State, Clinton for Health, the nominal Republican Senator Hagel for Defence. Senator Kerry for State would be a disaster, the same Senator that suggested that if you didn't have a good education you would end up in a War Zone, in other words your thick, Clinton as Health, recall the disaster that she did when she tried to reform health service, Obama must be on a happy pill to have a Clinton in the Cabinet. Hagel would not make Republicans happy, has been thorn in the Bush White House and has opposed the success for the surge in Iraq. If this is the level of the talent Obama wants for his Administration the West will have another Jimmy Carter. Lets look on the bright side, after Carter there was Reagan. Lets hope for the West these are trial balloons, or else time to move to Iceland, it will be less of a disaster area.
Joe the Plumber on Huckabee, Fox News
Governor Huckabee had Joe the Plumber on his show, felt sorry for Joe, all he did was ask a question of Senator Obama and the Elite Media wants to destroy him. If your an American voter before you vote you should ask yourself, if you ask a President Obama a question that throws him will you get the IRS or the Secret Service on your back never mind the Elite Media. Joe asked a simple question about taxes, he wanted to buy a business and to make life good for himself and his family, the way the elite media has reacted you would think that Joe had insulted Senator Obama. When you go and vote in November do you really know Senator Obama, will you get that tax cut, will you get a health care or will you get hire taxes, no health care and PC world gone mad. If you ask a question of Obama will you be destroyed by the elite media. In Senator McCain you get a maverick war hero, a man that has stood up to his own party, has Obama.
Remember Joe on November 4, 2008.

New Gallup Poll
Gallup: Has a new Poll, as before Gallup has three different versions of the Poll, one of Registered voters, Likely Voters1, this version is their traditional LV, those that have will vote and have voted in the past. LV2, this version if for new young voters and those from ethnic backgrounds that do not on the whole vote.
Gallup LV1: This version of the Poll has a very close race, Obama 49% - McCain 47%. As Gallup points out this has been running for the past three days, the tax attack against Obama by McCain might just be working. Also LV2 also shows a narrow race, this shows that the race is a four point difference, here the polls finds the following, Obama 50% - McCain 46%. It would be interesting to see if this poll narrows even more or expands to favour Obama. That's the problem Obama will find over the next seventeen days, the media, lets cut the crap has this race over. Thus if you keep telling people that Obama is going to win, the voters will start to look at Obama. If McCain can make Obama look like another Walter Mondale his big win might turn out to be a very narrow win. It would be ironic if Obama was to win the Presidency through the Electoral College but to lose the popular vote. Obama could be the George W. Bush of 2000.
Obama's Socialism
Fox News: Reports that the McCain Campaign is going after the tax policies of Senator Obama. Senator McCain has called the Obama Tax Plan a left wing socialist attempt to spread the wealth. The Obama Middle Class tax cut promise ran a bell in the old memory, another Democratic Nominee also called for a tax cut for the Middle Class, lets see who was that, yes it was the first " Black " President, Bill Clinton. Folks do you recall getting a Tax cut in 1992 from Bill Clinton, if you cant, don't worry it didn't happen, it was thrown through the window. That's the problem with Democrats they promise you the earth but when they get elected they have to go back to their power bases. The Obama Camp has promised a tax cut, health care for all, if you trust Obama will carry through on that I have a Bridge in Brooklyn I can sell you, no questions asked. In other words the promises of Obama are like the IS of Bill Clinton. It should be recalled that in 1992 the economic condition was bad but nothing the recent economic 9/11. It can be postulated that Obama will have to raise your taxes to pay for the bailout and his welfare to those that don't pay tax. If you vote for Obama and this turns out to be the reality you cant say it was a surprise. Also he would have left wing Congress, think before you vote.
