Telegraph: Reports that Republican Leaders on the Hill want to keep the political attention President Obama, the article states the following, “ Republicans will be greatly assisted by Obama's ego and his belief that he is not just any president but a great one – a Reagan of the Left. ”. Thus any political blame for the freeze on the Hill will be on the Oval and not on the Republicans. In 1982 Reagan lost 26 Seats in the House while keeping the Senate, while Clinton lost 52 in the House thus losing the House for the first time in half a century, also the Senate was in the hands of the Republicans. How did these two great political Presidents come back, the Agenda of tax cuts, smaller government and big defence spending helped create an economic boom for Reagan thus the defeat of Walter Mondale in 1984 by 49 States to 1, and 59% of the vote and 525 electoral votes. Also in 1988 Reagan lifted a finger to get his VP elected in the shape of Bush 41. In the case of Bill Clinton he didn’t want just to be a one term President, so he moved to the centre, passed bills that the Republicans could support, the economy that had been in a recession turned around, thus Clinton won big in the 1996 election, but it should be noted as in 1992 Clinton only got 49% of the vote. When VP Gore ran in 2000 with a booming economy he had to hide Bill Clinton due to the Impeachment of Clinton, thus in most cases Gore should have won easily in 2000 but he was stuck with Clinton while Bush 41 had Reagan, a beloved President thus a great positive for Bush 41. Thus we come to President Obama, the Republicans will force him to agree to tax cuts for ALL Americans not just those earning up to two hundred and fifty thousand, they will force the Democrats to either stall the repeal of ObamaCare in the Senate or force Obama to VETO the repeal, also the jobless recovery is not great, at present the unemployment rate stands at 9.6%. Thus advice to POTUS, run to the centre right on taxes, be the champion of tax cuts for all Americans, reform health care reform, be the man of new ideas, change of image of elite arrogance, be tough Iran, support Israel, Czech Republic and Poland. In other words ditch the arrogance or you wont be a Reagan or a Clinton, you will be another Carter, does the President have the ability to see the future or he set on defeat.
