Telegraph: Reports on the theory that the well known actor, Leslie Howard was a British Spy, and that he kept Spain out of World War 11, and that the Germans shot his plane down before he could return to the UK. I guess one day we will know the full story, have heard that he and a colleague had been taken for Churchill and his security Guard and that is why the plane was shot down. Also that Howard was doing a runner form a outrage Husband. If the spy aspect is true it would make a great film.

Obama's Dirty Pool, MISTAKE
BBC News: Reports that Senator Obama has come out fighting over the allegation the he has a friendship with a domestic terrorist. Obama has gone back to an old McCain scandal from the 1980s. Obama has made two mistakes, when this came out his press stated that he had last spoken to Bill Ayers in 2005. so that is a relationship that has lasted 9/10 years, in that time did Obama question Mr Ayers as to why the group wanted to kill Ronald Reagan and firebombed is house. Also it allows McCain off the hook, Obama has gone after him, it was Governor Palin that bought this story to a bigger audience, expect McCain to use this in the debate, that he was attacked for something that he never did, he did not bring Ayers up, but there is also Reverend Wright, the Pastor that lead Obama to the Church and his political career. Lets recall McCain is a war hero, what Obama ever done but run for office.
Bush on the Bailout of Wall Street
The White House: President George W. Bush stated the following on the time it will take for the bailout to be effective, " And it's going to take a while. I signed the bill on -- last week, but it's going to take a while to get in place a program that, one, is effective; two, that doesn't waste taxpayers' money -- we don't want to rush into this situation and not have the program be effective. It's going to take a while to restore confidence in the financial system. " The problem is that Bush will be cutting wood on his ranch and the new President will have a Western Economy in the toilet and two wars and the threat of terrorism. Bush is lucky that he is leaving office in January 2009, the next guy will have problems from the first hour in office.
Palin on Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr
Fox News: Reports that Governor Palin, the VP Republican Nominee has gone after the relationship between Obama and his racist pastor, Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. The elite media hated Palin before they will want to destroy her now, they have never really looked in to the close relationship between Obama and his pastor, Wright bought him in to the church and married him, and one of his Sunday address was the inspiration for a bestselling book by Senator Obama. Obama was there for twenty years, and he didn't hear any of the offensive material from Wright, was he not following the sermons or he not remembering for a reason. ITS A MATTER OF CHARACTER.
Economic 9/11
Telegraph: Its doom and gloom from the Conservative Telegraph, it writes the following, " During the past week, we have tipped over the edge, into the middle of the abyss. Systemic collapse is in full train. " As in life there is cycle, okay not great and its an economic 9/11 but this is not the 1930s and the Great Depression, there wont be soup kitchens, no dust bowls in the American heartland. I guess we just have to watch what we spend and make sure it not more than we earn, a very old conservative view of business and life.
Wall Street and the Banking Crisis
BBC News: Reports on the meltdown of the London FTSE and the Wall Street Dow Jones. In London the FTSE was down 391.06 points, nearly eight percent down. In Wall Street at 5.45pm UK time, the Dow was down 474.30 points. My simple question, the Congress passed a bill for eight hundred billion dollars, and what has the effect bean after the rush, the markets in Europe, American and Asia have tanked. I hope those in Congress that passed the Bill are thrown out of office, the Western system only works when you are allowed to fail, otherwise you get the USSR or France. The market has a long way to go down, it will hit rock bottom but needs a hard fall before it can come back, needs to lose over a thousand in day to get the market back to calmer water. This drip, drip is hurting the market as confidence has gone out of the window.
Obama as Star, NOT THE PRESIDENT
In Germany Obama was given the star treatement, in fact his Campaign though HE was the President. A speech was more important that visting wounded soldiers. Do you really want that man in the Oval Office.
