Great President

The Times: Has been ranking the Presidents of the United States of America. President Ronald Reagan is in the top ten at 8. I have been critical of the Times and its in the tank reporting for Obama but give its due its right on the money when it puts Reagan as one of the greats.

ARE YOU MIDDLE CLASS ?

Fox News: Reports that a supporter of Senator Obama, Governor Bill Richardson has stated that those earning under a hundred and twenty thousand and under should get tax cuts. This is a reverse of the Obama promise that those on two hundred and fifty thousand and under would get tax cuts. Lets be honest if Obama wants deliver on his Agenda just taxing the rich wont cut it, he needs to tax the middle class, lets recall the message to Joe the Plumber, Spread the Wealth. I will promise you that Obama will raise your taxes voter, and you cant say you didn't get the memo.

New Poll - Rasmussen

Rasmussen: Reports on a close race, Obama 51% - McCain 47%. This 4% lead for Obama over McCain is close to my prediction of the final result, Obama 53% - McCain 47%. It could be argued that the Obama Campaign would be happy with this margin of victory, also McCain should be happy in a way, the roll over by the Democrats didn't happen, thus a good show by McCain. The interesting result will the Congress, will the voters give the Democrats total control of government, has not been a good idea in the past. Election Night should be fun but not long.

Foreign Policy and Obama

LA Times: Reports on the problems that could be faced by an Obama Administration. Obama has stated that he wants combat troops out of Iraq by sixteen months, well with the economic 9/11 we need the troops out before that, but how will Iran test him, as the Article points out the USA attack on Syria has shredded the diplomatic talks, but an new Obama Administration could do a Nixon and Reagan, Obama getting Syria and Israel to do a peace deal. As to Iran Obama is in a tough spot, if they go nuclear he has to attack, if does not attack, Israel will attack Iran and then we have a Middle East War. Iran would attack Iraq, if the troops are out they will have to go back in to Iraq. As to Afghanistan and Pakistan problem, that is going to take years. The Liberal LA Times covers for Obama when it comes to the Bush Strikes on Pakistan, the LA Times writes the following, " In principle, Obama agrees that strikes inside Pakistan may at times be justified -- but experts close to him suggest that many of the strikes authorized by the Bush White House probably wouldn't have passed muster for Obama. ". So the question has to be asked who is telling the truth, in the debates Obama was quite a hawk when it came to attacking threats from Pakistan. Thus is Obama telling the truth to the LA Times or the American People. Afghanistan could become the Iraq for Obama, the terrorists might consider Obama weak and thus start to have major attacks in Afghanistan, the attackers would come form Pakistan, will Obama protect the US Troops.

Reagan and Liberals Again!!

San Francisco Chronicle: A interesting article that argues that the election of Obama is a return to the FDR Era and a rejection of the Gipper. It should be noted that FDR was a political hero of Ronald Reagan, the Gipper was a Liberal in his acting days ( even the great make mistakes ). It was noted in the Times that the Obama Camp will after the election try to make sure that its supporter get a simple message, the goals of Obama will take time, the Country has gone through an economic 9/11, the banks have been taken over, the Western Economic System was near collapse, the USA is in two wars, Iraq and Afghanistan. Also there is the terror threat. The world wont change the day Obama gets elected, he has to wait 2009. Also if Obama moves far to left he will lose the Congress in 2010 and could face defeat in 2012, and Obama is good but he is no Great Communicator, he lacks that personal touch, needs some of Hollywood friends to give him acting lessons. Also the press will turn on him sooner or later, they always do!!.

Obama the NEW NIXON ?

Drudge Report: Reports an Exclusive, that the Obama Machine is throwing reports off the Campaign Plane, the papers of the reporters have supported McCain. In the White House will Obama become another Richard Nixon, demanding loyalty from the press or throwing them in to the cold if they question his actions. If I was running Fox News expect a cold breeze from the Oval Office.

Time Folks

The Times: Reports that after his win on Tuesday, President - Elect Obama will try to make the voters understand that it will take time to achieve his goals. In other words its all rhetoric folks, he will get you to buy the car but don't be surprised if the Car on the way out of the shops stalls, the economy goes in to recession, the wheels comes off, the Obama Plans cant be done, no money. The Petrol in the Car cant get you home, the USA goes in to a deep recession. Ronald Reagan had tough economic times in the early years but the tax cuts allowed the economy to boom for years. Obama folks wants to raise your taxes, tax hikes and recession, let see the last President to do that was President Hoover.

Libya and Reagan

Fox News: Reports that the USA attack intention on Libya in 1986 under the orders of President Ronald Reagan in response to Libyan terror attacks on the West was leaked by Italy to Libya before the attack. The Gipper would not have been happy that USA attacks plans had been leaked by a NATO member to a terrorist Nation. The Reagan Diaries show that President Ronald Reagan considered Libya a threat to the USA.

Terror Message

ABC News: Has an exclusive, it seems the impotent terror mastermind, Osama bin Laden is going to send a message to the USA before or after the election to show that he is still a threat. Osama Bin Laden is hiding under a rock somewhere on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan, his power has waned as the USA has been on the attack since 9/11. If does come out of his rock hiding place, lets not cover him, lets show how impotent he is, old rubbish and old news. The advantage of him showing his face is that the USA could take him out.
