First Casulty of the WAR with Fox News

The Washington Post: Reports on the Departure of the White House Director of Communications, Anita Dunn, the WP reports it was all planned but allows the White House to close the battle with Fox News. Call me cynical but it seems from the report that Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel could also be in the firing line, the WP reports that Mr Emanuel wants to return to active politics as in running for public office. Lets recall that President Obama has seen according to Gallup the greatest fall in popularity of any President since Gallup started, also the Obama Health Care Bill as passed by the House is a dodo in the Senate, thus what would you do if your Obama and you have the Mid Term Elections next year, yes to get rid of people who are hurting you with the press, and yes Fox News is a major player in the US news market. Obama like Reagan and LBJ needs that public affection, lets also recall that on all policy fronts the President has lost support of majority of US voters, just look at the Governors races in New Jersey and Virgina. Thus as reported on Fox News ( YES DEMOCRATS, IT DOES COUNT ) the White House next year wants to turn its attention to the economy, well there is a problem folks, the health care bill will stall in the Senate, the Cap on Trade green bill is a dodo, thus Obama has to turn to something to get some public support. The problem with Obama is that he belives his own press statements, thus the actual policy he should take of lower taxes is a problem as the House Health Bill calls for a raise in taxes, and a call for smaller government aka Bill Clinton is out of the window due to the health care bill. In essence Bill Clinton won re-election in 1996 not because of his agenda, it was because the Republicans took the House, thus President Clinton was forced to the centre of politics. President Obama is threfore stuck, his agenda and his own arrgance has placed him an idelogoical box, lets see if he is like Reagan and Clinton and can come back and win, VIEWS has his doubts, Obama was good but he is no Reagan.
