Obama ATTACKS Biden

Fox News: Reports that Senator Obama has been critical of his running mate, Senator Joe Biden. The Obama Camp needs to place someone they trust with Biden, to keep an eye on him, to recall to him that he is the Vice - President Nominee and Obama is head of the ticket. Biden is a very lose cannon, one does wonder does Obama think he chose the wrong person as his VP.

Bush and Afghanistan

The New York Times: Reports that the Bush Administration is holding a review in to its polices in Afghanistan. As Iraq was to Bush, Afghanistan will be to the next President, is can be postulated that the terrorists will want to test the new President in Afghanistan, it can be argued that the terrorists will try some kind of Vietnam Tet event; 1968 the Viet Cong had major uprising in the major towns of Vietnam, the Viet Cong lost but the event itself broke the American will in Vietnam; if its a Obama Presidency expect the terrorists to try to show that Obama is weak, either an a major attack in Afghanistan or on the American homeland. Thus the next American President will have to deal with Afghanistan and terror he will be tested by both, the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan allows the terrorists to attack both Afghanistan and Pakistan, these badlands are a heaven for the terrorists, even the British Empire could not control them during the time of the Raj. On the terrorist front, in 1993 we the first attack on the World Trade Centre by Car Bomb, in 2001 we 9/11. The common factor these are the first years in Clinton and Bush Administrations, also Gordon Brown had a terrorist event after coming in to power. Thus the security services have to be on guard, the eyes and ears have to be open, to quote an old line from Hill Street Blues, " Lets do it to them before they do it to us. " The world of 2009 could be a very risk place if the West is not secure in its security.

Biden attacks Obama!!

Fox News: Reports that Senator Biden has attacked his own side, the Senator a friend of Senator McCain was reacting to the attack ad by Obama, the ad pointed out that McCain did not use the computer. As the article points out and Biden being a friend of McCain will know, McCain's torture in Vietnam makes the use of a keyboard very hard for the ex POW, Tortured Senator. I give Biden some bonus points for class, nice to see him stand up for a friend, its a pity his campaign does not have that class. On the political front its a mistake, to quote an old line, zip it Senator, this Chicago politics, its tough and one one man can be President. The Obama Camp is from Chicago, they don like to come second, recall 1960.

Hollywood vs The Clintons

The Times: Reports how Hollywood has turned on the Clintons, the actor and comedian, Chris Rock has attacked Bill Clinton for his lack of support for Senator Obama. The sole point of the Clintons is power, this year was meant to be about Hillary Clinton, that was the deal, Bill Clinton and then Hillary Clinton in the White House after the Impeachment. If Obama wins in November the Clintons are finished as leaders of the Democratic Part, Bill Clinton is a Alpha Male, he can not stand the thought that his time is over as the rock star of the Democratic Party. Bill Clinton could not stand Ronald Reagan either, his Vice - President won in 1988, Al Gore lost 2000, that really hurt the Clinton legacy. Hillary Clinton was meant to be be the restoration, this will not happen, thus Clinton will be the guy between the Bush Presidencies, and that hurts if your Bill Clinton.

Economic Tsunami ?

BBC News: Reports on the delay in bailing out Wall Street. The question has to be asked, is Western Economy better served with an Economic Tsunami, clear the dead wood, all those banks that have given loans to people who could not afford the loans in the first place are being bailed out by the US Government and the tax payer. It can be argued that these banks should be allowed to fail, the profit part of these banks will be taken over, and new economic order will develop. The Liberals in Congress want to add their own pork to the bail out, every time a company faces the threat of going under, Liberals in Congress will use the Government bail out of Wall Street as an example of what the government should do when a company is going bust. The West wont see another 1930s style depression, the USA and UK has a welfare structure, so there wont be any soup kitchens, of course Bush and Congress will get a deal, they don't want to be another Hoover of the 1929. The question that should be asked is this the right way, from pain we could create a new economic system.
