Rahm Emmauel - Political BLOOD in the WATER ?

The Nation: The Bible for Liberals if they believed in God points the finger at the Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emmauel for the present Obama mess over health care reform , the article states the following, "......the guy who made the private deals and told the senators what they could accept, he failed big-time and should be replaced. ". The Liberals in the party have never been happy with Mr Emmauel, they see him as to much of a political animal, in other words he can see the real world, thus they wanted Obama to be more left wing; how left he can get is beyond me!; thus they have started to point the finger at Rahm Emmauel, how long does he have as Chief of Staff, a few months, its a new ball game, you need someone that Republicans don't dislike, a real deal maker, Mr Emmauel to much of a political animal in his own right, there are rumours that he might run for Mayor of Chicago, that would be a way for him to make a graceful exit of the White House.

Obama favours SMALL scale version of Health Care Reform - ABC News



Fox News: Reports on a ABC News interview by President Obama, the President stated he was open to a scale down version of health care reform that got some Republican support. What the Obama White House does not need is a for the House to pass the Senate version of health care reform, the Obama team are not saying NO but they really don't need that kind of back pain, if the House passes a Bill that has no support and is loathed in Mass, the House and Senate members will have to defend it, that would be a disaster for the Democrats, the Republicans would have a simple message, repeal the Obama health care reform, thus Obama and the Democrats would be stuck with a Bill that could take them down faster than the Titanic went down in the Atlantic. This is the time for POTUS to manage the House, tell them to start to from scratch and for Liberals to shut up.

Health Care Reform - USA

CBS: Reports on the health care reform options that now faced by the Democrats, one option is a scale down version of health care that gets some Republican support, on other hand some Liberals still want the House to pass the Senate version of health care reform with no changes thus it can become law. If Liberals push this through the House after the Mass vote they are committing political suicide, they will face a political tsunami in November, the Republicans will hang this hated measure around the heads of Democrats, the House and Senate could be in play. This is time for Obama to take charge, tell the Liberals that the time has passed and go for a modest health care reform, there is always a next time in politics.

The REAL POLITICAL World after Mass Result

Politico: Reports that behind the bold rhetoric from the White House the Obama White House will be moving in some respects over the year to smaller issues, issues that unlike health care reform has some support in the USA. Think Bill Clinton after 1994. This shows that someone in the White House has smelled the coffee and gets the fact that this is not November 2008 but January 2010, and the Obama White House needs to protect the House and Senate, if they lose that they could lose the Presidency in 2012. Lets see if they are as good as the Clinton White House in a course change, so far not that impressive.

The Delusions of the Left and Obama



Guardian: Has an idea how Obama can improve is political future, "... a move toward passion and populism and idealism of the sort that impressed so many millions of Americans during Obama's historic presidential campaign...". In other words Obama should be more left wing, push his health care agenda through the House, raise taxes, what is wrong on the left, they are like old Generals fighting the last war, its a new day, a new battle, Massachusetts the most left of states has sent a very clear message to the Democrats and to the Oval Office, its simple, change or your out, don't the left get that, or are they stuck in a time warp and are back in November of 2008. They need to get back in to the Tardis and come to the present.

Scott Brown for 2012 ?

Just seen Senator - Elect Scott Brown at his first press conference, he is a natural, bright and funny, does recall a certain Ronald Reagan, could Brown really run in 2012, why not JFK and Obama both used the Senate as a step to become POTUS. What I have seen of the Senator - Elect he is a Conservative but does not cause you to worry, aka Reagan, also he is young, charming family, who does that recall, yes Obama. Think it would would cause Massachusetts to be in play in 2012, this will alarm Democrats, lets see how Brown does, he has to be tough but not alarming, he has to be funny but not arrogant, also he should start to have the family holidays in in Iowa and then NH. Brown could be the new Reagan, interesting times ahead folks.

Massachusetts Result



BBC News: Reports on the shock waves in Washington D.C with the election of the Republican candidate Scott Brown to take the Senate seat of the late Senator, Edward M Kennedy. Even at the end of the day this blogger thought the Democratic machine would win it for the Democratic candidate, the seat held by JFK and Edward Kennedy has gone to the Republicans, the most ironic part of the election is that the Republican candidate, Scott Brown has stated he will vote against the Obama health care reform, the very reform close to the heart of the late Edward Kennedy. This will be a real test for the Obama White House, since the election Democrats in the Senate have stated that there should be no vote on health care reform without Senator Brown in his seat, in other words the present health care reform bill is dead, its needs a major make over if it is to come back, does have some good elements but all the cover for those that don't have insurance will have to be binned. The Obama White House will have to start to do deals with Republicans, this will be interesting, can Obama walk over that bridge, so far its only Democrats he has had to deal with, let me be blunt, a few of them will be having route canal on their teeth should he want to visit them during the Mid Term Elections, he is a loser for a Candidate, its that simple, if he cant win in Mass he cant win anywhere, its that simple. Lets see the fun and games of Beltway start, will Obama be another Reagan or Carter.
