Obama on Iran
Fox News: Reports more tough rhetoric from President Obama on Iran. The problem is that Iran sees Obama as weak, that is why they have placed three holidaymakers on trial as spies, they think they can roll Obama, they want a visit by Bill Clinton, they want run the clock out, thus they will become a nuclear armed power. To Tehran Obama is just another Neville Chamberlain, another arrogant leader who thought he could do business with a totalitarian regime.
Obama and the Asia Trip
CBS: A very interesting article by CBS news on the President Obama's trip to Asia, can you think of them writing this year ago, " a trip that has notably lacked concrete achievements..." One can postulate that even the elite media can smell the coffee, they can see perhaps a year to late that to quote a old line of VP Mondale that there is lack of substance to Obama, as Mondale said of Gary Hart, " Where is the beef ". The White House spin masters it seems think that they can sell the life of Obama for four years, that wont cut it with the elite media, they want eyes on their TV news, thus if they are going to be a press agent for Obama the folks will watch Fox News, thus are we seeing a more critical reaction to Obama. Not yet but after this year expect the elite media to start going for the Obama Administration.
One Term Obama ?
In these PR days of politics folks, spin can matter as much as policy, and impression can be more important than words. Thus lets look President Obama, last year he was the young, charismatic new leader, now he looks old. Just go to the White House Web site and look at his picture for when he got elected and look at him now, he looks old folks, the hair has gone thinner and whiter. The face that showed promise is now more lined ( just giving the same critic that liberals give to Republicans ) I did twitter last night that it was a question to me if Obama would run again in 2012, the STAR has shown that his gold was fools gold, from health care on the domestic front to Afghanistan and Iran when it comes to Foreign Affairs, the words of Obama have not meet the real world. Thus don't be surprised folks if economy does not get going and Afghanistan and Iran become more hot that President Obama decides one term is enough. Laugh now folks, just a feeling.
Good old Joe
Politico: Reports that the Independent Democrat Senator Joe Lieberman has stated that he will join with Republicans to block any health care reform that has a public option. But if Senator Lieberman is going down this road he should go all the way, he should vote with Republicans to block the bill coming to the Senate floor. The rest of the moderate and conservative Democrats have been rolled by the Liberal Leadership of the Senate, if Lieberman votes against the health bill he will be finished with the Democrats, he might as well block it at the start, he will lose his Chairmanship of Homeland Security Committee anyway, he might as well join the Republican Party. This act would show that Lieberman is a great Senator and a great American.
