Obama vs NYT

The New York Times: Has a harsh word for President Obama and the Obama Administration when it comes to the oil spill, the NYT states the following, " Mr. Obama and his team will have to follow through — with more energy and dedication than they have shown so far. ". Even the bloated and Liberal New York Times might be getting the fact that rhetoric and being the first African - President does not mean you get let off the rules of the political world, one has to wonder how many rows it took to get this kind of tough editorial out of the liberal NYT. It can be argued that the NYT has a paternal racist streak, it has gone out of its way not to attack Obama, he is their candidate, he represents their extreme liberal Agenda, but the problem is that President Obama might not be up to the job, he has never run a business, spent his life in state or Federal office, one can argue that he would not get LBJ's staff due to his lack of experience of the real world, as to real world this is the political world, working in the community does not mean you can cope with Iran,North Korea or a oil spill. What must drive the NYT around the bend is that POTUS will lose re-election in 2012 and then get Republican rule for a generation, there is an old saying, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it, for the NYT could be Obama and his destruction of the Democratic Party. As stated many times in this blog, Obama could have been a contender, up there with JFK and Reagan but he allowed his own arrogance to get in his way, in many respects another Richard Nixon.

Hot Air out of North Korea

Fox News: Reports on a War threat from North Korea should the UN admonish it for the sinking of a South Korean Naval Vessel. This is more hot hair out of North Korea, they are not going to attack South Korea or Japan, any attack would bring brisk US military action that would destroy North Korea and remove the bonkers leadership. The World Community should admonish North Korea and then send it to detention, don't give it any attention, the sinking of the South Korean Vessel it can be postulated is more to do with the internal politics of North Korea, thus my advice as a Teacher to the civic politic, send them to detention and deal with other real problems, don't talk to them, don't discuss, don't give them a d-m thing, just let them cook in their own failures, and North Korea is a failed state in many respects, the people are not feed and the Army has substandard equipment, the only thing keeping North Korea going is China, and China is only keeping the North going because it does not want millions of people rushing to its border from the North.

Obama on the Oil Spill

Have to admit didn’t watch the Oval address last night as I expected Obama not to deal with capping the oil but to push his extreme environmental green agenda, mid way through this blog did watch and was confirmed it was right not to bother watching, Obama was going on about his Agenda or to be precise in political terms his energy bill, that will hurt the American economy and move jobs to other countries and raise the energy taxes of the US voter, this was my confirmation, “..The transition away from fossil fuels is going to take some time, but over the last year and a half, we’ve already taken unprecedented action to jumpstart the clean energy industry. As we speak, old factories are reopening to produce wind turbines, people are going back to work installing energy-efficient windows, and small businesses are making solar panels. Consumers are buying more efficient cars and trucks, and families are making their homes more energy-efficient. Scientists and researchers are discovering clean energy technologies that someday will lead to entire new industries. ” The Obama White House can not deal with a crisis when the other actor if man or nature can say a big NO. Thus Obama is pushing a Liberal bill that will keep his base happy but will not help the American people on the Coast. Obama does not have a clue how to cap the oil well folks, this is more hot air from a charismatic Jimmy Carter.

On the Brink of FAILURE?

Daily Mail: Reports on the view from on High at the EU that Spain, Portugal and Greece could fall as democracies due to their debt. The one thing this blog can guarantee is that Spain, Portugal and Greece will not be take over by Coups, if the EU really think this is an outcome they are very out of it, this scare story is just a spin to get money to bailout the EU countries who cant say NO to the welfare state, the UK should tell Spain, Portugal and Greece to take a running jump in to the Med, cut your welfare state, allow private business to grow, the State cant be the major employer of people, that leads to Cuba or the late USSR, thus time for EU countries to grow up, the EU has to get off the idea that the welfare state is the end result of policy, it has to get off its backside and work.

Cameron on Bloody Sunday - 1972

The Prime Minister David Cameron delivered a statement to the House of Commons on the results of the Saville Inquiry, the Prime Minister stated the following on the deaths on Bloody Sunday by the hands of UK Soldiers, " But the conclusions of this report are absolutely clear. There is no doubt. There is nothing equivocal. There are no ambiguities. What happened on Bloody Sunday was both unjustified and unjustifiable. It was wrong ". This blog has to accept the that the actions of British Soldiers on Bloody Sunday fell below the great standard of UK Forces. As to the consequences of this report that is in the hands of the lawyers, but it was thirty eight years ago, and an Inquiry is not a formal trial, it can be postulated that it would take years, what if and its a big IF the Trial came to a different verdict, as to what the result should be, that will take some time to digest the report. Not ducking a opinion but an opinion should be based on a full understanding of the events and the circumstances, thus will have to read a few articles on the subject.
