That Fox News Interview with President Obama - 2nd Term Blues

Telegraph: Reports the following on the Fox Interview, " The president traded barbs with interviewer Bill O'Reilly in a live interview that covered the 2012 attacks on the US diplomatic mission in Libya. ".

Lets Get Real: 

The President's either thinks he is telling the truth, which would be a major worry or he does not care that his Administration and himself lied to the US people and the UN that the attack was down to a film,  the only reason for the LIE was the fact that POTUS had stated that Al Qaeda was on the run and near death and that he had saved the US Car industry, well Al Qaeda and its franchise groups are alive and well in Syria, Iraq and Africa, and Obama is sending mixed signals, on the one hand he using drones to kill the Al Qaeda terrorists but on the other hand is stating that Al Qaeda is no longer a threat to the US homeland.   This is the reason that the US is not trusted by former US allies in the Middle East, the spin is more important to POTUS than the truth, we have another three and half years of this kind of rubbish spin, lets hope the US voter elects a President who sees the real World in 2016. 

The Guardian vs. Fox News - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian: Reports that Fox News will show the 2nd part of Bill O' Reilly's interview with President Obama tonight on the Factor, the article notes the following, " O’Reilly’s job is to get the president to comment on the Fox News product. His viewers apparently mistake that product – intricate misreadings of national and international affairs – for news coverage. ..".

Lets Get Real:

The above is false, Mr O' goes after everyone on his show, Republican or Democrat, in fact one can say that the Factor on the whole gives President Obama the benefit of the doubt, more than this blog would, the Guardian the most left wing national paper in the UK can not see through its own bias towards anything on the left.    Fox News and Mr O' should consider going after the paper in the Courts, one could almost call the above slander.   In the first part of the interview the questions were about ObamaCare and the attack on the US Consulate in Libya, on ObamaCare the President was in spin mode, its getting better, no need to fire anyone, while on Libya the President did not see that three attacks on US interests in Libya as a PLAN, he seems to have fallen  in to the trap of following his own spin.  No wonder Obama has taken a political hit in the polls, he has lost the plot, if ever understood the plot in the first place. 

The US and the Ukraine - 2nd Term Blues

Telegraph: Reports on US policy towards the protesters in the Ukraine, " John Kerry to meet Ukrainian opposition leaders in Germany ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus the US Secretary of State John Kerry IS finally doing something about the Ukraine, he has waited long enough, one does wonder does the Oval have Kerry on a lead, that is the problem when you make someone like Kerry your Secretary of State, Kerry is a War hero, was Lt Governor of his State, was a US Senator and was the Democratic nominee for President in 2004, he has his own political base.   It can be argued its better to appoint someone who does not have his political base within the Party and in his dreams thinks he should be in the Oval.  The Obama Administration has to be careful that it does not push to hard, the Kremlin has a vast interest in the Ukraine, if Putin thinks that the US is trouble making in his own backyard he could cause problems with Syria and Iran.   The Oval has to be careful, and keep an eye on Kerry, just in case he is free lancing for himself and not for the Oval Office. 

The Truth and the Obama Administration

Guardian: Reports on remarks by President Obama defending his Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, the article notes the following, " Obama admits intelligence chief fault over false Senate testimony..President continues to defend James Clapper in the face of calls for his resignation after 'untruthful' statement about bulk collection ".

Lets Get Real:

On this issue the DNI was right to lie to Congress and the Oval is right in defending him, on the whole the Obama Administration has a fickle understanding of telling the truth but the data collection was rightly protected by the DNI, Obama understands that he needs the NSA to keep him informed of any THREAT to the US, if he curtails the NSA and something happens, the people wont blame themselves, the liberal elite press will turn on Obama and ask why he did not defend the US.   On the issue of intelligence the US has to bug everyone so it knows what it does not need to know, thus the millions of texts from around of the World that is picked up by the NSA.   The President has to stand up to the Congress on this issue, he can not fold, he can not give way, he has to protect the  US, thus hat off to the Oval.

The MESS in the Ukraine - Great Russia Threat

Telegraph: Reports the following from the Ukraine, " Ukraine's Yanukovych takes sick leave as opposition refuses to abandon protests..Protesters say they have no plans to go home, after government passes amnesty bill ".

Lets Get Real:

The Ukrainian protesters have to careful that they do not give a reason for President Putin of Russia to march in to the Eastern part of the Ukraine to protect Russian natives, Putin's Russia wants to return Russia to the former lands of the old USSR, thus if the Ukraine looks like it is falling in to Civil War it could use that reason.   If the President is off on sick leave and the Government has resigned, who is running the Ukraine, a leaderless country allows right and left wing extremes to fill up the space of power, thus the Ukraine protesters have to play their cards with care and know when they have won. 

Blair on the the Egyptian Counter Revolution - Egypt Crisis

Guardian: Reports the following from Egypt, " Tony Blair backs Egypt's government and criticises Brotherhood..Former British PM says Muslim Brotherhood was stealing Egypt's revolution and army intervention has put it on right path ".

Lets Get Real: 

The liberal left will go bonkers with the above remarks, the extreme left consider Mr Blair a War Criminal after the Iraq War, this will further the image that Blair is on the extreme right wing of politics and only cares about Western interests in the Middle East.   As with the Iraq War Mr Blair is RIGHT, the Egyptian Army acted to protect the people of Egypt from the Government turning Egypt in to another Iran.   The mass support for the Army by the people has shown that the Muslim Brotherhood had abused it time in power to for its own end, and thus the people revolted.  Hat off to Mr Blair for his wise words and actions.   It is a pity that Mr Blair is not in power NOW, Syria would be so different under a Bush 43/Blair type of leadership. 

WMD and Syria - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: Reports the following on the agreement by Syria to give up its WMD, " US 'concern' at Syria chemical weapons delay ".

Lets Get Real:

Why should Assad follow through with the agreement, he knows that President Obama will never follow through with a strike, there is no political will in D.C or in the US as a whole for another War, the latest strikes on Syria have been by Israel and Turkey.   The Assad Regime will give enough but wants to keep some of its WMD in case the Syrian rebels are at the doors of the Presidential Palace.     In this Assad will be supported by Russia and Iran.   The Obama Oval wants a deal with Iran so bad it will over look that Tehran is keeping Assad in power.    This lack of will by POTUS is the reason the Middle East is falling apart, from Egypt to Iraq.    POTUS has allowed Russia to come back as a World leader, thus the new New Cold War.
