Speaker Boehner on Obama- 2nd Term Blues

Guardian - US Live: Reports the following on remarks by House Speaker Boehner, " This is part of a larger pattern: the president's scorched-Earth policy of refusing to negotiate in bipartisan way on his health care law, current government funding, or the debt limit. ".

Lets Get Real:

If the Speaker wants to keep his job he has to stand tall, not budge, he has face down the most powerful man in the World, well if Syria and Iran can do it, well the US Speaker can, the Oval has refused any compromise, well if the Oval wants to fight Chicago hardball, the Republicans should play it even tougher, the Democrats are not interested in talks, they will not give way on any part of ObamaCare, thus the Republicans should pass bills that keep different parts of the Government open but not ObamaCare, lets see how long Conservative Democrats on the Hill back up the Oval, this is not a time to weaken, there can only be ONE winner, its called having a political career, Obama is out in 2017, the Republicans should stand as ONE and win one for the Gipper. 

Obama on US Government Shut Down - 2nd Term Blues

The White House: Remarks by POTUS on US Government shut down, " ..At midnight last night, for the first time in 17 years, Republicans in Congress chose to shut down the federal government.  Let me be more specific:  One faction, of one party, in one house of Congress, in one branch of government, shut down major parts of the government -- all because they didn’t like one law.

 

This Republican shutdown did not have to happen.  But I want every American to understand why it did happen.  Republicans in the House of Representatives refused to fund the government unless we defunded or dismantled the Affordable Care Act.  They’ve shut down the government over an ideological crusade to deny affordable health insurance to millions of Americans.  In other words, they demanded ransom just for doing their job.  ".

Lets Get Real:

If President Obama wants to play this game, the Republicans should play hardball, make it known that if the President uses his powers to raise  the debt ceiling without the approval of Congress they will impeach him, and this time they will make it stick, Obama thinks he is a KING, well Monarch's do not face Mid Term Elections and Presidential Elections in a four year cycle.  The Republicans should make the Democrats pay for supporting Obama, every Conservative Democrat in the House and Senate should be tied to Obama, ObamaCare is not supported by the US voter, thus time to show that Obama is NO Bill Clinton, he needs people falling at his feet, when either people or countries say NO, and stick to it , he backs off, lets play Chicago hardball folks. 

US Government Shut Down? Part 2 - 2nd Term Blues

Telegraph: Reports the following from Washington D.C., " The government spending bill now returns to the House of Representatives, where Republicans are expected to again add amendments to delay the healthcare law and essentially guarantee a shutdown. ".

Lets Get Real: 

Politics is an ART folks, the Democrats could me making a mistake in thinking that Obama is another Bill Clinton, he is not, he is not that liked by either Republicans or even Democrats in his own Party, he is no LBJ, Reagan or Clinton when it comes to working with the Congress.  On the whole he likes mass crowds of devotion, not that great on the raw meat that is political deals.   Obama likes the perks of being President, Marine 1, Air Force, One, those trips to play golf, how will cope answering his own phone, cooking his own food, yes folks, if the Oval wants to play this game, the Republicans should go in HARD, the White House staff, political and domestic should not get paid, political deals are sometimes best when both sides suffer, the Republicans will get heat,the elite media will make sure of that folks, but the Democrats need BIG GOVERNMENT, what happens if the US does not fall apart with a long term close down of the Government, yes folks Democrats will be hurt, the Republicans have nothing to lose, that can not be said of the Democrats.  History does repeat itself folks, but not always, and the results can be different, Obama is not up for re-election, the Democrats are folks, politics is the art of the possible folks, not strict agendas that either move with the times or are finished. 

US Government Shut Down? - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian - US Live: Reports the following from its 3.18pm ( US ) post, " According to.... GOP members....the House will take up a measure that imposes a one-year delay on a key provision of Obamacare,* the individual mandate requiring everyone to carry insurance or face a fine. ".

Lets Get Real:

The elite media both sides of the pond have their talking points already, its the fault of the Republicans, they do not ask why the White House does not give a little,  even as it has been shown that parts of ObamaCare has had to be delayed, as it either does not work or is not ready, so why should business get a pass when Main Street has to pay a tax if it does not get medical cover.  Folks watch the elite media, TV and Press to see if they even bring that up.   The Elite media has gone back to COVER for the egotist in the Oval, that is no  great surprise as Fox News has shown a lot of reporters have taken the 50p of the White House to work in the Obama Administration, when you have a Republican in the Oval you do not have this level of reporters going over to the other side, it shows that the elite media is one sided in its reporting, and always has been folks.  ObamaCare is a disaster for the US economy, small business is reducing the hours that employers work as not to be part of ObamaCare, and big business is dumping its workers from its health cover as the costs are to much, thus folks, in the process the Oval is destroying the power of the Unions in the US, as one of their benefits was to get medical cover for workers, now employers can point to ObamaCare, and tell them to get it themselves.   That is the TRUE story of ObamaCare folks. 

Is Obama the NEW Neville Chamberlain ? - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: The following article has this piece on Chamberlain, " Churchill characterised Chamberlain as "an upright, competent, well meaning man" fatally handicapped by a deluded self-confidence which compounded an already debilitating lack of both vision and diplomatic experience. ".

Lets Get Real:

Lets give President Obama the benefit of the doubt that he is a well meaning man, but that benefit of the doubt should be taken in context of a President who takes the Nobel Prize for doing nothing, and does not have the grace to give it back, honour is selective in the Obama White House, in one of the debates with Governor Romney, POTUS was smug in stating that he was getting used to his new health law being called ObamaCare, yes folks the guy is egotist of the first order.  Lets come to the Obama foreign policy, or better still, his surrender in FP, he allowed the US to get pushed out of Iraq, thus allowing Iran the ability to have air space to give weapons to Assad of Syria, he marched the US military up the Hill for action, then decided he did not have the bottle for action, and decided to cut his Secretary of State off at the knees by appeasing Syria, Russia, NOW he is doing the bidding of Iran, there is only once choice that THE Oval faces, does the US allow Iran to become a nuclear armed power, if the answer is NO, the US should be attacking Iran not taking its game playing calls.  Then the Oval has told the Taliban of Afghanistan that the West is leaving in 2014, if your clever Afghan your on the last plane out, its not in the interest of the Taliban to talk to the Oval, they want to be seen as winning over the US, after USSR was thrown out of Afghanistan at the end of the 80s.   Being a well meaning man does NOT cut it in Foreign Policy folks, it never has, thus Obama is the NEW Chamberlain. 

Latest Obama Poll Dive - 2nd Term Blues

Gallup: Reports on its latest job approval poll for President Obama, today POTUS has a " 44% Approval rating, while 49% of Americans Disapprove of job performance of President Obama in the Oval. ".

Lets Get Real:

This blog does wonder why the Establishment Republicans in Washington D.C are so afraid of taking Obama on, he is no Reagan or Clinton when it comes to the day by day politics that makes D.C work.  In the 1990s the US Government shut down, the Republican did not lose the House, and in 2000 Bush 43 won, as long as Republicans make the issue ObamaCare they can WIN, they should approve resolutions that fund everything else in the Government but not that, IF the Oval wants to close down the Government over his ego, so be it, but the Republicans should keep it closed down, one doubts Obama will find it fun not being able to take Air Force One to play golf, stuck in D.C, powerless, the Government will be SHUT DOWN, having to get his own coffee, you get the idea folks, the Oval likes the perks of the Oval, what if there are no perks, YES folks, the Republicans should take this fight, NO BIG GOVERNMENT and the US does not fall apart, that hurts the Democrats.   Fight Republicans, Obama can share a cab with the Speaker to go around D.C,. that should make them talk, politics is ruthless folks, sometimes you have to get in to the political trenches, then you throw the opposition off its heels, NO Air Force One, No Marine One, No White House staff, No communication staff to help with the speeches, how long do you think Obama would last before giving on a 1 year delay on ObamaCare. 

Israel on Obama's Appeasement of Iran

Guardian: Reports the following from Israel, " The peace overtures in New York have not been echoed in Tel Aviv, where the mood is one of isolation and gloom  ".

Lets Get Real:

Folks, in the past the Israeli Government could count on the US Administrations to come to its defence if the balloon went up, if your IN Israel tonight can you you really swear that the Oval would come to the support of Israel if it was really under threat, the disaster that has been the Syrian policy shows that the Oval does not have the bottle for ACTION, thus folks the Israeli Elite has to make its mind up that it has to in the defence of Israel take action against Iran outside of support from the US.   Once the military action is taken the Hill will support Israel, no matter the view point of the Oval, the Israeli Government should even consider the use of low level nuclear bombs to close down the nuclear threat from Iran, it can not wait for Iran to go nuclear, the US is going down a isolation road, this not new as mentioned in this blog, its not the power it was once, you can not be with a 17 trillion debt and the Democrats wanting to make the US a welfare state like Europe.  It is time for Israel to recall what the road of Appeasement did to the Jews during World War 2, millions of men, women and children killed, NEVER AGAIN, folks, time to defend Israel folks.
