Big Mistake by President Obama

Telegraph: Reports that President Obama has rebuked Conservatives for listening to a Conservative Talk show host, Rush Limbaugh. This is a mistake by President Obama, he is President of the United States, he should have the loudest voice in the country. The rebukes shows that Limbaugh gets under his skin, this will tell the listeners when Obama is low in the polls and folks he will get there sooner or later that there is another voice out there that really annoys the President. I will guess the ratings for Mr Limbaugh will go up, advice to Mr Obama, your President of the United States, start running the government or you will be Jimmy Carter Mark 11, what next will Obama be checking who uses the White House Tennis Court.

Iran and the BOMBM?

The Times: Reports that Iran could be on the market to get its hands on more uranium. If Iran gets the bomb, this will push Israel to the brink, Israel will not allow Iran to become a nuclear power. This could place President Obama in a tight spot, if Israel hits Iran, Iran will hit USA targets in Iraq, thus Obama could say no to an attack by Israel but his only option would be for the USA to attack Iran. This would drive the American left bonkers!. Iran could define the Obama Presidency as much as Iraq defined Bush. The Western system has to use all means to prevent Iran becoming a nuclear power.

The Obama Paradox!

Courtesy of the White House: The President's Weekly Address.

The President's first weekly address is on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan, in other words the bailout of the American Economy. In reading the text of the statement on the one hand it has the usual Liberal Pandering, the statements states the following, " That’s why this is not just a short-term program to boost employment. It’s one that will invest in our most important priorities like energy and education; health care and a new infrastructure that are necessary to keep us strong and competitive in the 21st century. " In other words if your out of work now, you will have to wait while Obama panders to the left, these projects will take time and in the long will not make economy roar, building roads will make Liberals feel better but government spending in the long term will have a negative effect on the construction business, as it has been stated that the FDR New Deal had a negative effect on business and could have extended the Great Depression. The reason once the government pulls the plug on the money the market will be set in a mind set that will take years to get out off, that the Government is the engine of the economy, it never was and it will never be, never mind how much Liberals want to take over the economy. But we also in the statement that President Obama knows this in his heart of hearts but quite get there yet, simple reason the American people have given him a Liberal House and Senate, the system works in the USA when a President at least has one house that can tell him that he does not have the votes. That was the problem Bush 43 had, he had House and Senate in his pocket for most of his term, thus the problem later down the line. One can see this in the statement, the President states the following, " I know that some are skeptical about the size and scale of this recovery plan. I understand that skepticism, which is why this recovery plan must and will include unprecedented measures that will allow the American people to hold my Administration accountable for these results. We won’t just throw money at our problems - we’ll invest in what works. " If the economy goes in to Depression this year, if the government spending does not work and we are back not in to the Great Depression but in to the recession of 1982. A recent article by the Liberal New York Times suggested that 82 was worse so far, of course the Western Economy could get worse if these bailouts do not work, in that period Ronald Reagan had low approval ratings but still won a massive landslide in 1984. If the Obama poll rating go down will Obama be able to come back and win as Reagan and Clinton managed, that is the question, the Liberal Press will support him so far, they need to make money, they wont make money by being press agents for Obama.

CIA SECRET PRISONS CLOSED - Obama

The New York Times: Reports that President Obama has ordered that CIA secret prisons be closed. One can argue that President Obama has taken a brave move in political terms, this is a risky new policy as they would say in the Civil Service. Lets recall since 9/11 there has not been a major terrorist attack on the American Homeland. After 9/11 if you had told the experts that there would be no further attacks they would have dismissed this view point as not the real world. After the 9/11 attacks Bush got tough through overt and covert means, thus no more attacks, it only takes President Obama to get one part wrong and his honeymoon period will look like a Liberal New York Times Dream. Lets postulate and the Bush Policies have kept the terrorists off guard, the covert actions and CIA secret prisons have done their job, broken suspects and got the right information, now we have a new regime in Washington D.C. Think after CIA scandals of the 70s, the Carter Administration thought it could get intelligence from spy satellites and did not need spies, thus we get Afghanistan and Iran disasters. Thus Obama Administration thinks the terror threat is over, as the USA had not had any attacks since 9/11. Thus we have a pre 9/11 mind set, the mind set that gave us 9/11. If there is another terrorist attack and the Congress find that policy developments of Obama allowed the terrorists to get through the holes in the system, how much would you bet that Obama would get re - elected.

On the other hand President Obama has been lucky, very lucky, he has not had a major national defeat while in the US Senate or so far in the White House, but the one constant in political history is not how you deal with events when you high in the polls its when your rock bottom. Even the Gipper had a bad time in the recession of the early 80s. Lets postulate that the closing of the Cuban Detention Centre, the banning of rough treatment of terrorists and the closing down of CIA secret Prison has no negative effect; await to be convinced of that policy; lets see what the USA gets out of this policy development, will Middle East be open to the USA, will Iran stop its nuclear development, will Israel and Palestinians come together. The simple answer is no, International Politics does not work like that, this my prediction Obama will be a one term President, he will be defeated in 2012.

White House Web Site, WP and Me!

The Washington Post: Reports on the disaster that is the White House Web Site. There are no Press releases for us bloggers no record of the first day of the Obama Presidency. I did notice the old media got the pictures first of Obama in the Oval. I thought the Obama Team was I.T up to date, thank god it not the end of the World, the White House Web Site would still have the Obama Inauguration on its front page. Wake up and fix this problem, its a 24/7 world, old news does not cut it these days. The Bush Administration had a more effective Web Site folks, go and ask them how it works.

Guantanamo Detention Centre to Close - Obama

BBC News: Breaking News from the BBC, Guantanamo by order of President Obama is to close within a year, also harsh treatment of terrorists is to stop. The BBC and Guardian readers will love this move, but what it shows is that President Obama has a pre - 9/11 mind set, so as stated in previous post if we are in a TV 24 Case Study, a terrorist caught and incident going to happen soon what is Obama going to do, offer his phone call and nothing else. As stated lets hope the tough treatment of terrorists by the Bush Administration has broken the back of the terrorist threat, lets hope we can try those at Guantanamo in Federal Courts. But we still have the issue of those that have been harshly treated, those that are still a threat, those that can not be released because if they are released they will strike again and it would be make Obama another one term President. Lets see what the Elite Media says about Obama within a year, if the USA has closed Guantanamo but we have another prison with a different name but does the same thing as the base in Cuba.

White House I.T SLOW

The Obama Administration was meant to be up on I.T but the White House Web site is a slower under them than Bush. I thought they wanted support from the New Media, Bloggers. But it seems that its the old media that is getting the pictures. If I have read the my US copy right law, if its on the White House Web Page and a White House picture then its in the Public Domain. One could be supportive of Obama and show a picture of him on the phone to Middle East leaders. But since no picture, one is taken by the fact that he is not wearing a coat in the Oval Office. Ronald Reagan a great President always wore a coat in the Oval, Clinton did not seem to keep to that rule, we all know the result of that don't we folks. Thus if the new Administration wants a break from those not in the tank for it, it should get its act together. Thus get those press releases out, we might be critical but fair, or just plain annoyed and critical.
