President Ronald Reagan and Senator Obama

Richard Reeves: An excellent article by the recent biographer of Ronald Reagan, how both Reagan and Obama get the point of an Election and how Hillary Clinton does not cut the mustard. In essence Reagan could make a speech that would make you follow him to hell and back, because it was the right thing to do, he made you believe in our better angels not our darker souls. When tragedy with the loss of the Shuttle, he allowed the nation to mourn but also understand that the future of man was out in the stars. He called a spade a spade, the Soviet Union was an Evil Empire, and he was a light of freedom for Eastern Europe. Reagan’s “ Tear down this wall, Mr Gorbachev ” spoke to the freedom in the hearts of all. When he made mistakes he did not hide and try to devise a new English Language, he took the helm and took responsibility, as was the case in Iran – Contra. Reagan was a the last great President of the 20th Century, he was not some micro manager like Jimmy Carter who ran the White House Tennis Court, he wanted to free Eastern Europe, end Soviet Power and make the USA great again. That is a great Presidency.

Senator Obama allows you to feel hope, its up to the American People to decide if he can be a great President.

New Texas Poll - Obama Ahead

The second poll to show Senator Obama ahead in Texas, this and the CNN poll, confirms a trend for the Senator. Recall the words of Bill Clinton, if Senator Hillary Clinton was to lose Texas then its all over, is the road set can there be a return from a failed Presidential run.

Survey USA:

Obama 49 %

Clinton 45 %

I am going to take a risk and call Texas for Obama, not because I am under Obama mania but I think the trend has a pattern, Obama just might win Texas BIG. It could all be over by March 4th.

New Ohio Poll – Trouble for Clinton

Drudge Report: A new poll by the respect pollster Rasmussen shows that Clinton attacks on Obama have failed so far:

Clinton 48 %

Obama 43 %

Clinton has a five percentage lead, if she was to lose Texas and Ohio it would be all over, no come back. The Republicans need Hillary Clinton in the race, she has so much baggage with herself and with Bill, Republicans should vote for her in Texas and Ohio, Obama hard to beat and would bring over a lot of Conservatives over to vote for him. This might sound like going beyond the pale, but we need Hillary Clinton in the race, then Senator McCain can have a landslide.

Inside the Clinton Machine

The Politico: If you’re the Titanic, e.g. the Clinton Machine, and you have hit an iceberg, e.g. Obama Mania if you like and your going down and you want have a career in Democratic Politics when do you hit the life boats and save your own future prospects. All those in the Clinton Cadre need to look to their own future. Thus a very interesting article by The Politico. Failure has many fathers (JFK If recall about the Bay of Pigs) thus the blame game has started in the Clinton Mean Machine.

Obama Scandal?

The Times: An old semi scandal comes back to haunt Obama, all quite complicated, the Senator enlarged his garden at a discount to his true value. The Seller a friend is under corruption chargers in the USA. This sounds very Chicago sorry to say, recall 1960 any one. This article like the New York Times article, at the end of the day, proves nothing against Obama, so one has to ask, is the Clinton Machine behind this issue in some form. All very odd.

Obama another President Carter?

New York Observer: Looking at the comparison between Obama and Jimmy Carter. Very interesting article that looks at the 1976 match up between Ford and Carter. As then the race brings up the same questions, 1976 was very close. It should be noted then there was no Internet and Bloggers, Obama will get thorough scrutiny from this part of the Press Estate. Must Read of the Day.

Reagan and Obama and the Spoken Word

WSJ: A great article that looks at the appeal of Obama and how both Reagan and Obama are see by their critics as empty suits, good on the stump but lack depth. The Democrats paid a price for that arrogant opinion in 1980 and 1984. Is Obama the Democratic Reagan, yes is the simple answer. This is not Obama Mania but after looking and listening to the candidate for over a year he does recall the Gipper. I don’t have to agree with any or all of his polices to trust the man. I am willing to take a risk and trust him to be a great President.

New Texas Poll

CNN: A new poll by CNN has Obama ahead by 4 points, Obama 50%, Clinton 46 %. Due to the margin of error of the poll it is a tie. But we still have a few days to go and Obama could build on this lead. This was predicted in a recent post by VIEWS.

The Plot and losing the Plot!!

Washington Post: When the Elite Press meet the Clinton Machine, read and tell me who has lot the plot, my money on the Clinton Machine. Read of the Day.

The Final Throw of the Dice!

New York Times: Well here it is folks, all or nothing, the NYT states this is the final throw for the Clinton Mean Machine. If Clinton does not take Obama down at the debate or in Texas and Ohio it could all be over for Hillary Clinton.

Reagan – Gorbachev Movie

BBC News: Reports that Sir Ridley Scott is to produce a movie on the meeting between Reagan and Gorbachev at Reykjavik in 1986. VIEWS still has the ITV production from the late 80s, will be interesting to compare and contrast both productions. Lets hope it nothing like the TV series that was slated by Conservatives, as that series was out to smear the President, lets hope we have fair and balance production but this is Hollywood.
