Time: Has a withering attack on the Obama Administration, the article states the following on the Obama Administration “ ……is being politically crushed in a vise. From above, by elite opinion about his competence. From below, by mass anger and anxiety over unemployment. ”. When the elites from the New York Times and Time start to bail on its Favourite Son its time for that son to grow up and smell the coffee, the Obama Administration has allowed its arrogance and this comes from the Oval to its extreme Liberal Agenda to create more problems for the US economy, the Obama Stimulus spending has not created jobs, in fact Obama stated that the unemployment rate would not go beyond 8% its now at 9.6%. The Obama health care reform was meant to be popular after it was passed by the Congress, over 50% want to revoke ObamaCare, the bailout of the banks and the car industry has helped businessmen and unions but what about main street, nothing, they are being thrown out of their houses and from reports the Obama Administration does not want to freeze the eviction of people due to the fear that this will send the US housing market in to free fall, also on the international front Obama has shown that he his weaker that Jimmy Carer, his main position is bowing to US enemies, he has been slapped in the face by Iran so many times one has lost count, and what does Obama do, allow his backside to be kicked by Tehran every time Iran gets the chance, North Korea has no respect for Obama, he is a pushover that can be bullied. Also the Obama Administration wants to place terrorists in the US Court system, it has failed to get the fact the US is at war with terrorists. As with the case with Afghanistan the Obama Administration is more interested in keeping the Democratic base happy than the security of Afghanistan and Pakistan, thus the plan to withdraw troops in 2011. The above is why the Oval is heading for a fall November, and what is sad is that President Obama wont get it, his own arrogance is more important to him that the standing of the US in economics or international politics.

85 Seats in House - Republican ?
The New York Times Blog: Reports that there are 85 competitive House races, this is the highest level of competitive races in many a election cycle. Is this the bloated liberal NYT throwing the towel, are they staring to see the real world and the failure of the Obama Agenda. If the Republicans retake the House and win between 80 - 100 seats the Obama Agenda is more than dead on the Hill, the White House will have to defend it by the use of the Presidential Veto, and the Republican Congress will make President Obama pay, they will pass something that Liberals want but part of the deal will be the revoking of ObamaCare, they will make Obama veto many of these kind of Bills. The Oval can be a world of hurt if a President is arrogant believes his own press statements, just look at Richard Nixon or LBJ.
1,000,000 JOBS to be LOST due to Public Spending Cuts
Telegraph: Reports that a million people in the private and public sector will lose their jobs over the next four years due to the cuts in public spending. Think about that folks, Government spending direct and indirect effects over a million jobs, that cant work in the long term, Government does not produce jobs, its not a wealth maker, if you take over sectors that should be done by the private sector you cut the point of Western system. These cuts will hurt folks, but it will bring small government and then the economic system might recover, but its going to take years folks, a lot of hurt ahead and misery.
The SELLING of the Royal Mail
BBC News: Reports that 90% of the Royal Mail will be sold to the private sector while 10% will be held by the workers. This Information Technology Age we have email, the old postal structure does not work, one is more likely to send email than letters these days, but a growing sector is the sending and receiving of parcels from online purchases, but this can be by the private sector, so one has to ask if your in the private sector would you buy a business that has no long term history, would you have bought a taxi driven by a horse when the car was coming up fast! These are the hard fact of business life folks, the Royal Mail might not be that easy to sell.

The Money and the 2010 Mid Term Elections
The New York Times: Reports that the Liberal billionaire George Soros is keeping his money in these 2010 Mid Term Elections, he can read the tea leavers. When the biggest money man keeps his money its about time for Democrats to shut up shop and go home and lick their wounds. It looks like the Democrats are going to get a political earthquake in November, thus the Obama White House has to decide, does it co - operate with a Republican Congress or does it go down fighting, depends if POTUS has the wisdom to see his own faults, that the problem with arrogance, when it seen its to late, even if Obama goes down big time in 2012 he wont understand why, POTUS is brainy but lacks wisdom.
Obama 2nd Term ?
Telegraph: Reports on the prospects for President Obama to run for a second term in 2012. This blog has predicted that President Obama will either not run or go down to major defeat, think Walter Mondale when he lost to Ronald Reagan by 49 States and 59% of the vote. Lets be clear Obama is elite and arrogant, but he is not stupid, if he gets a Republican House and Senate his Domestic Agenda is dead in the water. In 1994 Bill Clinton faced a Republican Congress but still won in 1996 but Clinton was a great pragmatic politician, he went to the centre, even centre right to win in 1996. The Obama Presidency has one problem, its President Obama, lets be clear Obama is a clever and bright guy, he saw how great Reagan was, but he is not Reagan, the Gipper was also a great pragmatic politician, the Obama domestic and world view is so left of centre as to be in Cuba, and even Cuba is seeing the faults with left wing politics. If Obama was to really look at his style and policies of Government and see that he would have to change his whole psychological make up would fall apart, how do you tell your self that your spouting rubbish and even worse wrong rubbish. Thus the Obama political makeup will see that in 2012 he cant win or worse he will go down the toilet, thus without the love he will get out, he will blame the Republicans, the media, think a liberal Richard Nixon. That is the sad part about Obama, he could have been a contender, now he will be another Jimmy Carter.
Those University Days Part Two
BBC News: Reports that the Coalition Government has accepted the Browne Reports that states that the Universities should be free to charge what the want, the reform has the approval the Business Secretary and Lib Dem Vince Cable. If all the Lib Dems in the Coalition Government vote for this reform the Bill well get through the House, the Lib Dem leadership will have to be tough on its MPs, that includes former leaders. As stated in previous post on higher education the System is broken due to the left wing views for the previous Governments. The last Labour Government wanted 50% of school leavers to go to University, this is mad, not everyone should go to higher education, we still need people to take training in other fields that don’t need a degree. This is a big risk for the Lib Dems, at the next election one can see a election pact between the Lib Dems and Tories, not because they want it, but due to the election maths, if the Coalition keeps together they could bury Labour. Lets recall that the National Government was very popular and won elections in the 1930s. Labour only got a look in due to World War Two.
