Gallup: Reports on its daily tracking poll on the job performance of President Obama, today POTUS has a 42% Approval rating, while 50% of Americans Disapprove of the Obama record. This is not a great start to an re-election campaign folks, this year will see the White House with one aim, getting President Obama re-elected, every action will be political, but to fair that's every White House in this context. The Republican Nominee will be Governor Mitt Romney, thus expect the most vicious political attacks in history to start folks. This is Chicago politics at its most dirty and vicious, they expect no quarter and give no quarter. Let the fun start folks.
A look at the Politics of the United States and the UK. The Foreign Policies of both countries and how they behave in the International Community.

Covert Action and Iran
Guardian: Has an opinion article on the covert action in Iran, the article states the following, “ ..illegal action will only ruin any chance of dialogue with Tehran….The covert war against Iran, if not stopped, could escalate out of control. ” This what the Guardian really thinks folks, the left would allow Iran to get the bomb, and should something happen to Israel they will just say it’s the fault of the Israel and the West. Any covert action has risks, innocent people will get hurt or even killed, the question that the left has to answer, do the left want Israel to strike Iran with its Air Force or would they rather cover action that prevents Iran getting the bomb, and becoming a threat to Israel and the Middle East. In the real world there are hard choices folks, sometimes risks have to be taken, or evil wins.
Death in Tehran - Nuclear Connection ?
Telegraph: Reports that Mostafa Ahmadi Roshan a nuclear scientist in Iran has been killed by a car bomb. One can guess that its Israel, doubt that the CIA or MI6 would given a hit order for a civilian even one doing nuclear work for Iran, but on the other hand one doubts that the Oval or No 10 are asking to much questions on how the CIA, MI6 or Mossad are going to stop Iran from getting the bomb this year. Its all very murky folks, one can postulate that that whatever Intelligence network is doing the ordering is using locals as to prevent a direct connection back to them, the question what ever you think about the strategy is are these covert hit jobs working, Tehran seems to pushing for the bomb, thus we can expect more Executive Action by who knows who, Iran can not be allowed to get the bomb.
Romney WIN in NH
BBC News: Reports on Governor Romney’s victory in New Hampshire with nearly 40% of the vote, 2nd place was Congressman Paul, while third was Governor Hunstman. The projected winner of the NH Primary came at 1am UK time folks, the numbers have not changed much since then, Romney is close to 40%, this gives him a 17% over 2nd place Congressman Paul, lets be honest here folks, Paul is not going to win SC, and he is not going to be the Republican in any context, Hunstman is also a Mormon, and the exit polls show that a large majority of his voters would be happy to see Obama get a 2nd term, thus he will no play well in SC. As for Gingrich and Santorum they are both under 10%, and as long as they stay in the race they split the vote with Paul and Hunstman in SC, in most recent polls Romney also leads in SC, and thus this race is over folks, it might go on but Romney is the Republican Nominee, thus the Romney Campaign has to move to attack President Obama, the General Election start NOW folks.

Gingrich’s Billionaire Friend and SC
The New York Times: Reports that a long time friend of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a gambling billionaire Sheldon Adelson has given five million to a Pro Gingrich Super Pac. Lets get straight to the point folks, the liberal NYT has thrown any negative stories it has on Mr Adelson in to the story, what Mr Adelson has done is legal after the US Supreme Court ruled that it was legal for individuals, Corporations or Unions to fund Super Pacs. Lets look at the political consequences for South Carolina, the article notes that the Super Pac has bought $3.4 million of advert space in SC. The targets of the ads will be Governor Romney, from reports it seems that the former Speaker holds Romney responsible for his loss of support in Iowa with his long arm Super Pac attacking the record of the former Speaker. Thus more of an even fight in SC, of course in way it works for Romney, this funding will keep Gingrich in the race, he will take votes away from Santorum, this a split Conservative vote and Romney WINS big in SC and thus the Republican nomination. At least when the General Election comes around it will be fair fight, Romney has millionaire supporters, thus the funds to take on POTUS.
New Hampshire Live - Republican Race
Guardian Live - NH: Reports on the slow pace of voting in NH. The left wing Guardian cant help itself with the following, “ …the "race for second place" doesn't get the pulse racing… ”, also adding Mitt Romney to that mix. As stated if Romney can win by 20 points or more over Paul and keep his lead in South Carolina this race is over, it has been argued that Newt Gingrich will keep going to just to get revenge on Mitt Romney for his negative adverts in Iowa, lets hope the former Speaker is a bigger man than that, or Romney informally should tell him that he could either be his VP or Secretary State if he gets out of the race fast after SC. As to former Senator Rick Santorum he has not used his 2nd place in Iowa to gain much movement in his NH polls. Thus the Santorum Campaign must come in either second or a close third to gain movement in SC, but it might just be to late, depends if Conservatives with BIG MONEY can decide on a Candidate in SC and spend the money on negative adverts to hurt the Romney Campaign, its all down to SC folks.

More on Daley BOOT
Guardian: Reports the following on the ousting of Bill Daley as Obama’s Chief of Staff, “ ..Daley, who was brought in to exercise tighter control over a sometimes ill-disciplined White House staff …he failed to do ”. This is an election year folks, thus the White House needs tough Chief of Staff who has the ear of the President, if your Chief of Staff cant control the White House this creates problems on the Campaign trail, also if he is not part of the inner team you risk different messages coming out of the White House. Lets see how the Daley’s of Chicago react to this after the fuzz had died down, Obama would not have dared to sack the legendary Mayor Daley of Chicago, even JFK ( 13 Days - film ) was afraid of that Daley. That the thing about US politics, it’s a rough business, and Chicago politics is even harsher.
