The Weekend Polls

Lets have a look at the Polls folks, the state of the 08 Presidential Race:

Gallup: Reports that Obama has a 10% lead over McCain. This is good for Obama, if one takes in to consideration that African - American candidates poll better than the vote, around the 4% to 6% margin it can be argued that Obama is around 4% - 5% ahead of McCain. The poll finds the following, Obama 51% - McCain 41%. The economic 9/11 is hurting McCain, if Obama keeps the election agenda on the economy he wins, its that simple. As stated it will be a close race and Obama should win a by a few points. The time for War Heroes is over, like in 2004 when Kerry lost to Bush the American people will elect someone who does better on the old TV.

Rasmussen: Reports that Obama has a 5% lead over McCain. Although stated above that African - American candidates poll better than the vote, other polls suggest that Obama is leading outside the margin of error. Thus this poll would be seen in that context of a Obama lead of around 4% - 5%. The poll finds the following, Obama 50% - McCain 45%. Senator Obama should start to think about his transition team, he needs to hit the ground running, avoid the mistakes of the first Clinton term. He needs to think about his Secretary of State and Treasury, he will have two wars on his hands and this economic mess to deal with in 2009.

Reuters/Zogby: Also reports that Obama has a 5% lead over McCain. There are no polls that have McCain leading. This poll finds the following, Obama 48% - McCain 43%. One of the first things Obama will have to do after the election is find way to get the USA out of Iraq, the USA economy is in a mess, a Global Power can cope with one War at time, thus Iraq will have to stand on its own legs. The last time I looked Obama was keeping to his 16 months plan, it could be argued that 6 to 7 months should give Iraq enough time to stand on its own. Times changes the outlook. Thus the Obama Camp look forward to the White House being their next stop. The Ayers attack by McCain seems not to have had any effect, they might as well try Pastor Wright, but due to the the economic 9/11 I thinks its over for McCain.

Obama another Nixon

Washington Times: Reports that Senator Obama tried to pull a Richard Nixon, it reports that Obama tried to persuade the Government of Iraq to wait in till the next President before making a deal on the USA keeping troops in Iraq next year. This recalls Nixon in 68, when he also tried to convince the Government of South of Vietnam not to make a peace deal with North Vietnam. The Liberals didn't like that, called it treason, what will or even will the elite mention the story.

Dow Jones Down by 678.91 points.

BBC News: Reports that the Down Jones was down 678.91 points, that down nearly eight percent. I thought this bailout of Wall Street was meant as a fix, well the Patient, the US Economy has gone in to a seizure , could go either way, what is the Doctor, the US Government going to do, we need a bright solution or we are heading in to Great Depression land. This will start to effect main street economy, business and the folks will retract their investments, recession could lead to depression. Lets recall the West is fighting two wars, the Western Banking system is in cardiac arrest, something has to give, is Obama right about Iraq and getting out, an Empire can not stride the globe if its economy is in a mess. But it should be noted should the West leave Iraq, we still have Afghanistan, the next President just might ask for a recount of the vote, the good times are very much over.

Iceland and the UK

The Times: Reports that the Treasury is not keen to bailout Councils that had money in banks in Iceland. The Collapse of these banks could cause Plan B, the Bailout of the UK banks to fold, if Councils feel that banks are not safe they could take their money out, there would be a run on the banks, aka 1930s. The Government can not dither on this issue, if the banks have to be bailed out then so must the councils.

Obama Lied ?

The Weekly Standard: Reports that Senator McCain has gone after Senator Obama, he is accusing Obama of note telling the truth about his relationship with the domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. It should be noted that the McCain Campaign has released a video that goes after this relationship. The Campaign also needs to go after the Reverend Wright, the Pastor of Obama, for years they has a close relationship, but it has been shown via video clips that Wright is Anti American and racist. What did Obama know when did he not know the story.

Obama not another CLINTON

The New York Times: Reports how Obama is not the type of politician to feel the pain of the voter, aka Bill Clinton. The Liberal New York Times writes the following, " Mr. Obama’s more taciturn nature and his distaste for theatrics, as seen at Tuesday’s debate, are another reminder that he would not, for better or worse, be a Clintonesque “feeler in chief”...." Lets be honest about the Obama character, he is an elitist, intelligent, arrogant politician; minus the politician part so is this writer; but that's not a problem, a good politician has to have the ability to connect with the voter, Reagan was a distant character but he connected with the American people, he had the same ability as FDR, JFK, they could act, even if reality was different from the spin. Reagan was known sometimes as Comforter in Chief due to the fact that he had to attend many public funerals for those that had died on active service or the funerals of the men and women of the Challenger Mission. He was seen as being there for the families of those that had died, Obama when he is elected President will have to stop making speeches and interact with people, they will need to comforter not someone who is remote and cold manner. The Obama Camp has to get Obama ready, get him some acting lessons, as in warm, as intelligent guy should be able fake warmth its not that hard when looking at other problems an Obama Administration will face in 2009.

Obama and His Terrorist Friend by McCain

McCain has taking the gloves off, he is going after the relationship between Obama and his domestic terrorist friend, Bill Ayers. The Campaign if it wants to win also has to bring Wright in to the picture.
