Why wasn’t Obama ready for the Town Halls?

CNN: Reports on why the Obama White House was not ready to counter the Town Halls in the Congressional Recess. There is a simple answer folks, Obama own arrogance, every President sooner or later over plays his hand, Obama might be the secular second coming for extreme Liberals but his polls are down to earth. The question is can Obama get beyond his own arrogance, can he do deals with Congress like LBJ and Reagan, can he be a Nixon, his Republican predecessor offered a Health Care Reform Bill to Senator Edward Kennedy but Kennedy again arrogantly turned it down, either because it was not big enough or he had Presidential hopes. It seems that the Nixon offer was more extensive that the Obama plan. Thus can Obama say no to Liberals when it comes to the public option. Can Obama get beyond his own arrogance.

Poll Slide for Obama

Rasmussen Reports: Another bad day in the Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll for President Obama, his approval ratings have gone down again, yesterday it was at 46%, today its 45% Approve of the Obama Presidency, while 53% have a negative view of Obama. Thus Obama faces a problem when Congress comes back from recess, when a President is down in the 40s% the Congress are not afraid of him, in fact if these are the numbers in the Mid Term Congressional Elections in 2010 the House and Senate members will be having route canal on their teeth if Obama visits their District or State. The Obama White House will have to decide if they want a second term, they either get a moderate Health Care Reform package that Republicans can support with no public option or they push a Liberal Health Care Bill through that makes sure that Democrats lose the Mid Terms in 2010 and Obama loses his re-election mid in 2012. Also Obama faces the problem of Afghanistan, the last two months have been deadly for US troops, the worse death rate since of US troops has been in July and August of this year, Liberal will balk next year if Afghanistan has not turned around, it will take more than a year, but if Obama caves he loses Pakistan and Afghanistan and faces a major threat to the USA. Thus, Obama in his nightmares is another LBJ.

Iran's Con Game ?

BBC News: Reports that Iran is to come forward with a new plan to solve the crisis between it and the International Community due its plan to go nuclear. This is a con folks, Iran wants to prevent tougher sanctions thus new talks. I will promise you this folks, the talks will be tedious and will lead nowhere, and Iran will have the bomb on the last day of the talks between it and the West. Let’s see if the Obama Administration can see beyond its own arrogance and stand up to Iran, this is the time for the threat of War not endless chat. If Obama fails and the UN is not tough on Iran then Israel will have to protect the West from itself, in other words Israel will have to use its military to strike Iran. President Obama will then be faced with the same situation that President Reagan had to deal with 1981 when Israel hit Iraq's nuclear plant and Bush 43 when Israel hit Syria in 2008. Does Obama support Israel or condemn her, it’s that simple folks, his reaction could decide if he is re-elected in 2012.
