Thursday Vote for US Budget Deal - 2nd Term Blues

The Hill: Reports the following from  the Republican House, " GOP leaders expect their measure will pass, despite complaints from House Democrats that it includes a fix to prevent a cut in doctor payments but does not extend federal unemployment benefits set to expire this month. ".

Lets Get Real:

When you have divided Government you have to DEAL, you never get 100% of what you want, if you want purity in politics your in the wrong game, the US has not had a Budget for years, the CR's passed are a way for chickens in both the House and Senate to get elected.   The Republicans have made a good deal, its the fault of the Senate Democrats that there is no extension of federal unemployment benefits, they made it clear it was not a DEAL BREAKER, thus the Republicans who would never pass such a measure went along with the idea, its to late for liberal Democrats to be upset, pass the budget and lets get  on to other matters, the repeal of ObamaCare or major reform would be a good idea, and helping the millions who have lost and will lose health cover due to ObamaCare. 

The US Budget Deal and Liberals in the House

CNN - Politics: Reports on the reaction from Democrats in the House to the compromise US Budget Deal, " The chairman of the House Democratic caucus isn't sold on the bipartisan budget compromise, demanding an extension of unemployment insurance be included in the deal. ".

Lets Get Real:

Even Speaker Boehner could not get the Republican House to support an extension of unemployment benefits, it would be a DEAL breaker, A Speaker can only cross his Party so many times, he can get the compromise through, then it goes to the Senate, as the Democrats run the Senate they need ALL their members to support it, the Republican on mass will oppose, thus both leaders should get this bill through fast, do not allow the left or right to form a strong opposition, it seems the extremes on both sides will not budge, it is my way or the highway, no wonder D.C politics have broken down, leaders no longer have REAL control of the bodies they represent, sad day for US politics but more important, sad day for MAIN street US.   They are the ones that get shafted at the end of the day. 

Will the US Budget Deal Pass ? - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian: Reports the following on the compromised US Budget Deal, " Fragile US budget deal under fire from both Republicans and Democrats....Democrats seek to negotiate further deal on unemployment benefits while GOP fends off attacks from conservative groups ".

Lets Get Real:

This blog tweeted last night that it support this US Budget Deal, it does not rise taxes and protects defence, this blog is VERY conservative when it comes to fiscal matters, if this deal was a give away to the Dems this blog would oppose the deal, as the Democrats gave up asking for an extension in unemployment benefits they are also taking a hit in political terms from the left.   The House and Senate should fast track this deal before it falls apart, the left are up in arms, and the right wants more welfare cuts, that is why its a compromise deal.   As a great President once said you get the majority of what you want and come back for the rest later. 

The failure of ObamaCare in November - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: Reports on those that have enrolled in ObamaCare in November, the article states the following, " Officials had originally projected 1.2 million would enrol nationwide by the end of November, instead of the current 365,000. ".

Lets Get Real:

The BBC is left wing, thus puts a positive spin on those that have enrolled in ObamaCare, the above is way down in the article, if this was a business it would be seen as a disaster, the costs are out of control, even those that have enrolled have been told to check to see if the insurance companies have gotten the correct information, even those in Congress have been told to double check, as between 10% to 25% of those that think they have enrolled have not, due to computer problems, also you are only covered if you have paid, thus this ObamaCare scheme is heading for disaster, its just a matter of time before Democrats bail on the Oval. 

Oval STALLS Congress over New Iran sanctions - 2nd Term Blues

The Hill: Reports that the Obama White House has been successful in stalling new Iran sanctions from Congress, the articles states the following, " Secretary of State John Kerry and the Obama administration appear to have won a fight with Congress over new Iran sanctions — at least for now. ".

Lets Get Real:

The Republicans should use this win by the Oval against it, it should produce TV adverts that shows Obama's handshake with President Castro of Cuba, then super impose images from the Munich meeting between Hitler and UK PM Neville Chamberlain, and then images of the destruction of World War 2, then have images of Reagan calling the USSR an Evil Empire, then have film of the Berlin Wall coming down.   Thus the stark contrast between weak and strong leadership.   Oh for the days of Reagan and Thatcher. 

Appeasing Stalin, NOW Iran - NYT

The New York Times: Has the following Editorial on moves to press new sanctions on Iran, the Editorial states, " The outcome of these efforts is unclear. What is clear is that they are not only unproductive but unnecessary...Equally clear is that they will almost certainly enrage the Iranians... "

Lets Get Real:

This is the same paper that covered for Stalin during the Cold War, thus those Democrats that are on the fence should read this article in full and push ahead with sanctions, the Tehran Regime can NOT BE TRUSTED, the Oval is Appeaser in Chief, his handshake with the Cuban leader shows that Obama does not understand international politics, and worse for Dems domestic politics, this move by POTUS will go down like a lead balloon in Florida, this will be seen as a ACT of betrayal by exiled Cubans and Americans of Cuban decent.   President Obama is like the British PM Neville Chamberlain, who thought he knew best what should be the UK policy toward Hitler's Germany and was willing to sell out others for that policy.   The US Congress needs to pass tough new sanctions, to protect the honour and power of the US. 

Iran blackmails US Congress - Iran Crisis

Telegraph: Reports the following from Washington D.C, " Iranian foreign minster warns Geneva nuclear deal is 'dead' if US passes new sanctions"...  The entire deal is dead," Javad Zarif says as White House tries to rein in senators ".

Lets Get Real:

This is the time for the Israeli Lobby to get in to action, the handshake of Castro of Cuba by President Obama shows he is weak and a appeaser, the the Israeli Lobby should place pressure on Democrats up for re-election to pass sanctions with a six month grace to see what the talks bring, the US Congress can not allow itself to be blackmailed by the Regime in Tehran.  Those Democrats on the fence should think what happens if the deal falls apart or no long term deal can be made, the supporters of Israel will recall which Senator or House member blocked these valid sanctions, it would show that Democrats would rather be on the same page as the Tehran Regime than Israel.   Thus Democrats in moderate and conservative States should thwart the pressure of the Oval and PASS new sanctions.
