Obama and Money

IHT: Reports that Obama might have problems in getting the money in, as he has in the past. The article points out that Obama has to collect money while running a Presidential Campaign while McCain gets public money. Money is the mothers milk of politics, its not how much you have left, Kerry had money in the bank in 2004 but still lost, the question is does the voter buy you as President, that is the problem that Obama has at the present, is the USA ready for the a President Obama or do they prefer President McCain.

Iraq and Afghanistan

BBC News: Reports that President George W. Bush has stated that the USA is winning in Iraq, troops can be removed from Iraq, and half in the region of 4500 can be sent to Afghanistan. On the whole Iraq has been won, Afghanistan is going down the toilet, but winning in Afghanistan is not an option, we need new thinking, if Obama could think of something new that would be great but pandering to the left does not help, we need new polices and people in country, Afghanistan will define the Presidency of the next President.
