Sunday Vote - HCR

The Hill: Reports that the House could vote on Sunday on health care reform. As stated Speaker Pelosi would not go to the floor without the votes in her handbag already, thus the past few days have been a stunt. Either by a straight vote or a parliamentary trick Speaker Pelosi will get HCR through the House, thus the next stage for Republicans is to shape the 2010 Campaign on a basic message, REPEAL health care reform. Lets recall the negatives for Democrats, there are tax hikes and Americans will have to buy medical cover. It is now near the end of March, that is six months, the Republicans should stress repeal every day, they should force the issue down the throat of every Democrat. Also moderate and conservative Democrats who vote for HCR should have their districts flooded with TV ads that mention this fact every day of every week for the next six months. Keep it simple Republicans and win.

ObamaCare = 940 Billion

Fox News: Reports that the Congressional Budge Office has stated that health care reform will cost the US tax payer 940 Billion over ten years. One word folks, that is RUBBISH, health care costs always goes up, the NHS in the UK is a classic example, if your old in the UK there are some real horror stories of neglect in some NHS hospitals. The point of ObamaCare at its essence is to get old people to die off faster as they don't pay any more tax, while the young pay tax and thus pay for the system. That is the real world folks, Obama is good at rhetoric but would not trust him to take my dog for walk without getting it lost, thought and practice are two different thing folks.

HCR by the Weekend ?

The Hill: Reports on fresh hope by the Democratic leadership that the House will pass health care reform, the article states the following, " Momentum seemed to be building Wednesday for Democrats on health care, though they still appeared short of the necessary votes. ". It seems that moderate and conservative Democrats have decided to commit political suicide, it would be simpler to get caught with a high class hooker. Thus how will the Obama White House spin this bill before the Mid Term Elections, they will stress that insurance companies can no longer reject people with pre existing conditions, no cap on the cost of cover, also around thirty million Americans will get cover, on the negative side the Republicans will stress that Obama in major recession has spent a trillion dollars not on jobs but to cover a minority of Americans. Also we have the tax hikes, lets see how popular they are for Americans, also Americans will be forced to buy insurance, lets see if the US Courts strike that down. Thus still my prediction that Obama has handed the Presidency to the Republicans for the next forty years, just like LBJ, this victory for Obama is a tactical, the War has just been won by the Republicans.

Obama's decline in Approval

Gallup Daily: The Obama decline in the polls has reached the Gallup Daily tracking Poll, in the latest snapshot, Obama has a 46% approval rating, but is disapproved by 47%. The Gallup poll is of average voters, thus the Obama obsession with health care reform is staring to hit his own base of support in the young, who tend to say they support POTUS but don't come out and vote. Thus even after Speaker Pelosi has pushed through HCR, the cost could be that the Democrats lose the House in November and POTUS is defeated when it comes to his re-election run in 2012. Obama stated recently that he would rather be a good one term President than a average two term President, Obama is going to find what a bad first term President feels like when he is defeated in 2012. The arrogance of Obama always comes at a cost, that is the way of life, thus the Political Gods that saw Obama win in 2008 will see him become like Walter Mondale, defeated by 49 states in 2012. You have to love those Political Gods.

In 2009 the UK lost three soldiers in March, thus far this month the UK has lost nine soldiers. It seems each month we are losing more more soldiers than last year, something is going wrong on the ground in Afghanistan.
