Democratic Senator ATTACKS Obama on Heath Reform

The Washington Times: Reports on the astonishing attack on the Obama Health Care Reform Bill by Senator Mark Warner, Democrat of Virgina. The WT states the following by Warner, " has misplayed his attempt to reform U.S. heath care by focusing on insurance coverage instead of explaining that the current system..." In other words Warner can read the tea leaves in his own state, he would like to get re-elected, thus this rebuke to President Obama. In politics all things are local, Senator Warner has seen his state go deep Republican, thus Democrats in States that are moderate or conservative have to think about their political futures, Obama does not really care as long as gets re-elected, thus is quite willing to throw Democrats under the bus, just ask those Democrats who voted for the Clinton Health Care Bill, how much calls and support did they get from the Clinton's after, in less they could help the Clinton's. Thus if your a Moderate or Conservative Democrat time to pull the plug on Obama Care, the compromise Senate Finance Bill should be the framework for any new Bill out of the Senate. Thus some good political advice to Senator Warner, vote against the public option or face a dim political future in the Republican state of Virgina.

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.

Obama the NEW LBJ

The New York Times: An interesting Op -Ed piece in the Liberal New York Times, in essence this is the agenda of the NYT, the articles states the following, " We’re worried about Kabul when Detroit has gone down for the count. " In other words the USA has more internal problems that Obama should be dealing with, he could become the new LBJ, Vietnam destroyed the Great Society dream of President Johnson, Afghanistan could have the same effect on Obama. The Liberal NYT also states the following, is it a political warning to Obama, " Americans are questioning his priorities,....millions who went to the mat for him...." But the most important political point that the extreme liberal NYT does not understand or fails to see is that it has nowhere to go, it will never support the Republicans, it could never really oppose the first African - American elected to the Presidency, that kind of opposition would send most of the staff on strike. Thus if Obama is another Jimmy Carter with shades of Neville Chamberlain the extreme liberal NYT will have to support him, they jumped in to bed with Obama without thinking how to get out of the relationship. The one thing you can guarantee that no matter what Obama does the Times will support him, as the old saying goes they made their own bed, they just hope it does not end in divorce, they would really be in the cold then, if your to the left Obama who will take you in on the liberal side.

Small Sea Battle between North and South Korea

BBC News: Reports on small sea battle between the Stalinist North Korea and the Democratic South Korea. It seems from reports that North Korea was the guilty party is crossing the border between the North and South. The question is why, simple answer President Obama will be in the region, North Korea wants to remind the poor fellow its not just Afghanistan, Iran that he has on his plate, its North Korea. After the visit by Bill Clinton to take home the two reporters held by North Korea, the Stalinist North wants direct talks with the Obama Administration, they it can be postulated see Obama as weak, thus they think they can get more concessions out of him now that he other Foreign Policy problems. Lets be honest they could be right, as North Korea is nuclear armed the Obama Administration has to talk to them, that the difference with the Iran problem, as of now Iran is not a nuclear threat but once its becomes a nuclear armed power all bets are off, any Administration would have to talk to them, even grant concessions, that's why Israel will hit Iran, at the end of the day can Israel trust a weak American President with their security, would you trust Obama after his pandering to Russia at the expense of Poland and the Czech Republic and his dithering over Afghanistan.
