POTUS at 39% Job Approval - Gallup
Gallup: Reports that President Obama has a 39% Job Approval rating, while 53% Disapprove of the Obama record.
Lets Get Real:
The Mid Terms are only 10 and half months away, those Democrats in Congress who support the Obama Presidency and ObamaCare and are from States or Districts that went for Romney in 2012 will start to look at the latest polls and wonder how long they can support the Oval. If your a smart Democrat and under threat you would start to make yourself a pain the backside for the Oval, in fact the Oval should hate your guts, the Obama political career is Over in a sense, those in Congress want to get re-elected, thus time to put hard politics ahead of political loyalty, the Oval if in the place of the Congress would have done the same thing, time for real politic, those in Seats under threat should start to support Republican plans and run point for deep investigations of the Obama Presidency. Time to decide Democrats.

Unemployment Benefits Extension FAILS in the Senate - 2nd Term Blues
CNN - Politics: Reports the following from the US Senate, " Senate passage of long-term unemployment benefits appeared in doubt on Tuesday following the failure of two procedural votes.. ".
Lets Get Real:
The Republicans should Deep Six this welfare scheme, the Democrats are playing games, they want the issue for the November elections, they need people on welfare, the Democrats keep saying the US economy is improving, well then it should be easier for people to get JOBS. If the US economy is not working its down the economic policies of President Obama, but the Oval will not change path, thus the Republican leadership in Congress should not deal on this issue, let it drown with all the other Obama promises, one fake scheme for a fake promise from a Chicago Pol. It is time for the Republicans to play hardball, that is the only kind of fight the Chicago political mob understand.
Bengahzi could have been prevented - US Senate
BBC News: Reports that a US Senate Committee has found the following in a report, " The deadly September 2012 attack on the US consulate in the Libyan city of Benghazi could have been prevented, ".
Lets Get Real:
Thus the Congress has found out that President Obama was informed that the attack was a terrorist attack by his Defence Chiefs, now the Congress has stated that the attacked could have prevented. This raises questions about the role of POTUS on that night and his later statements that the attack was due to a film. The former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has to answer why there was not proper security at the Consulate. The Obama White House lied to get re-elected and Democrats are still protecting the White House as to protect the prospect for a Hillary Clinton run in 2016. The House should form a Special Committee to bring ALL the House investigations under one structure, the House should have the powers to make people attend under threat of arrest if they do not turn up. The attack in Libya still holds secrets, it is time for the Republican House to take the gloves off, time for the dead to get some peace with the TRUTH coming out.

Are the Clintons waitng for political payback for political traitors - 2016
Telegraph: Reports the following from Washington D.C, " As Hillary Clinton deliberates on whether to run for president in 2016 a new book paints the Clintons as vindictive and raises ugly memories of desertions and betrayals in the 2008 campaign ".
Lets Get Real:
Do the US voters want another Nixon in the White House, the above story sounds very Nixon, the Crown was there for the taking by Hillary Clinton but she lost to President Obama, the Clintons never forgive, and the use of the race card on Bill Clinton is something one can understand the lack of forgiveness for, Bill Clinton was seen as the 1st black President, and for the Obama Campaign to use the race card must have hurt Bill Clinton, also long term friends got on the USS Obama and left the Clintons on the shore, Hillary Clinton was made Secretary of State, and President Obama tried to get on with Bill for a limited time, just he didn't need the constant talks. Bill Clinton likes to talk, as President he was never on time, correction, when he was sworn in as President. Fun time ahead for Americans, will Hillary run, will she win, and what will the Old Dog do in the White House.
Gates on Gates - 2nd Term Blues
Guardian: Reports the following from Washington D.C on remarks by former US Defence Secretary Robert Gates and his memoir, the article notes the following, " Former defence secretary Robert Gates defends book as 'an honest account'. "
Lets Get Real:
This blogger has the Gates book on order, one can say that the former Secretary has been very blunt and candid, VP Biden is hopeless at foreign policy and always has been, Hillary Clinton and President Obama ran their campaigns not on real objection to the Iraq War but for political reasons, the President sent thousands of Soldiers in to Afghanistan based on a military strategy did not think would work, LBJ all over again. Has President Obama listened to the LBJ tapes, will the press really ask him tough questions the next time he does a press conference. Also Hillary Clinton has been hiding, when we she deal with the allegation that she ran 2008 on pure political motives not policy. One has to wonder is Robert Gates is looking for the VP spot on the Republican ticket in 2016. Everything is political in D.C.
Obama/Iran vs. The US Congress - Iran Crisis
The White House: Released the following statement on the deal between the UN and Iran over its nuclear plans, the statement contained the following threat to Congress, " Imposing additional sanctions now will only risk derailing our efforts to resolve this issue peacefully, and I will veto any legislation enacting new sanctions during the negotiation. ".
Lets Get Real:
Thus President Obama would rather trust Tehran than his fellow Democrats, the question that the Congress has to ask does it trust the judgement of President Obama, lets see has he got, Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq right in his years in power, the answer would be a NO, the Democrats on the Hill will pay the political price if this is a con job by Tehran, the Israeli Lobby should place pressure on the Congress to pass tougher sanctions, get Obama to VETO any new sanctions, and thus when it falls apart it will be down to the Oval. The Democrats can not afford to be soft, they are on the ballot in 2014, not President Obama, the Windy City has lost its power, the question is will it take the Democrats with it 2014 and 2016.
