Black Racism and the Obama Administration

CNN:Reports on the case of Shirley Sherrod a Obama Administration official who admitted that race played a role in one of her decisions in a past post before she joined the Obama Administration. This is the last thing the Obama Administration needs, its bad on the ethics and on the politics, it plays in to view that the Obama Administration is in some form racist, left wing and does not care about whites and independents. Lets see who the main stream media play this latest story, lets see if they go big or small on the story, this blog can guess the outcome.

Lockerbie and the Mid Term Elections

Telegraph:Reports that the new UK Coalition PM David Cameron has agreed to meet with US Senators to discuss the release by the Lockerbie bomber and oil deals between BP and Libya. Lets be honest here folks, this issue is important but the reason that it has spiked is that BP is public enemy number one in the US and the Hill faces Mid Term Elections, the fault lies with the devolved Scottish Government and the Labour Government under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. Mr Cameron should take it as a serious issue, but it’s a political issue, next week it will be something else that diverts the Congress.

Obama and Cameron MEET in the US

BBC News: Reports on the up and coming meeting between President Obama and the new UK Coalition PM David Cameron. Lets hope PM Cameron states to POTUS that the UK will be out of Afghanistan by 2014 and that the UK will turn its economy around by doing cuts not spending like a drunken sailor or a LIBERAL. But at the end of the day a UK PM has to be close to the American President, but lets not have another Iraq or Afghanistan. Also Mr Cameron should be aware that Obama could be a one term President, so close but not that close.

The Democrats at War - After Mid Term Elections ?

Time: Reports that Democrats are keeping their cannons on the White House out of sight in till after the Mid Term Congressional Elections, they want to show unity in till Congress goes to the Republicans. In many respects the Democrats on the Hill are very much like the New Labour Cabinet they are willing to falls on their swords, end their political careers due to the fact they don’t have the guts to tell Obama to get lost. If after the Mid Term Congressional Elections the Democrats have lost the House and the Senate expect movement to get Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to run against Obama in 2012 as Edward Kennedy ran against Jimmy Carter in 1980. The difference this time folks is that it can be argued that Secretary Clinton could beat Obama, if by 2011 Obama is not close or above 50% in the polls he is a political dodo very much like Gordon Brown, the question will be asked do the Democrats have the guts of the Aussie Labour Party to dumb its leader when that leaders is a loser. Will the Democrats want Obama on top of the 2012 ticket or Hillary Clinton, doubt that Mrs Clinton would take the VP spot if offered by Obama, why be second when you can be POTUS.

Disaster of the Times Paywall

Guy Fawkes Blog: Reports on the low numbers of people willing pay for the Times online. Folks if you want your news free then go sites that don’t charge, NEWS is current folks, the Times seems to have forgotten the old business model of a loss leaders, this is simple folks, you sell something for a loss by you get them in and then they buy more expensive products, what has stopped the Times from becoming another online Book/DVD/ Music etc seller while keeping its news content free. Time no pun intended to teach the Times a lesson folks, go to free news sites, BBC, Guardian, Telegraph, New York Times ( in till they go behind a pay wall ) Independent, the political blogs. Show you preference folks, use your mouse for freedom of news.

US / South Korea Strong Alliance

The New York Times: Reports that the US and South Korean military are to take part in military exercises in South Korean waters. This is a good move by the Obama Administration, it shows that the US will not allow North Korea to bully its neighbour with the sinking of South Korean military vessel. Lets see what North Korea does next, it can be postulated that that North Korea will not take on the US Carrier Fleet. Thus the North will complain but do nothing, they are at the end of the day cowards, even they are not that bonkers to start a war with the US, also Obama can not afford for another country to slap him in the face after his failed policy with Iran. Thus the White House will react with force should North Korea attack any US Naval Vessels.
