Liberals and Health Care Reform - Reconciliation

Politics Daily: Reports on the forthcoming meeting between President Obama and the Republicans on the Hill to discuss health care reform, the article states that Obama is playing poker, that he will show that he will discuss the House and Senate Bills, thus showing he will consider other ideas, in other words a strong poker hand but as is it will fail he will try to win by default, he will push the House to pass the Senate version of health care reform, in other words he will use the nuclear option of 51 votes in the Senate, the article states the following, “ This bluff is also filling time for Obama. Right now, parliamentarian experts for the House and Senate Democrats are attempting to figure out how this reconciliation strategy could work. ”. The Republicans will build an Altar to Obama if he is that daft to try to muscle the House to pass the health care reform, the Republicans can call the TV event a major con on the American people by the Washington Elite. As this is an election year the Republicans will run on a simple slogan, repeal the ObamaCare, the House will go Republican and the Senate could even go Republican. If Obama is that daft he deserves to lose big in 2012, he had the chance to be a post racial, post partisan President, he will have flunked that test. Thus my prediction that Obama will lose big in 2012 and might not even run, he could face a challenge from his right by Hillary Clinton. Thus Obama is no Reagan or JFK.

JAWS out for Rahm Emanuel

The Hill: Reports how Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel has become the guy to blame for the failure of the Obama first year. Lets be honest folks its not the fault of Mr Emanuel, its the fault of President Obama, but the Democratic Party cant say that they have elected a political dud after just a year thus they have to have someone to attacks, thus Mr Emanuel is the perfect fall guy for Obama, the left don't like him as they see him as keeping President Obama from going more left wing; YES I DON'T GET THAT EITHER; also he was a close aide to Bill Clinton, thus that worries the left wing, they wanted a charismatic Walter Mondale with Tax hikes and health care reform. It can be argued that Mr Emanuel was leaking political blood in the water for some time, thus if health care reform fails the Obama team will need someone to blame, thus my argument of late that Mr Emanuel will find that he wants to run for Mayor of Chicago, thus a clear and clean with dignity exit from the White House. Mr Emanuel is a loser, and Obama throws them under the bus, just ask his former White House lawyer who had promised to close the Guantánamo Bay within a year and failed, he was out, it started with negative stories in the press and then he was out, lets see if Mr Emanuel can see the light and gets out before he is sacked.

Binyam Mohamed Case

Telegraph: Reports on the release of secret information by order of the UK Court of Appeal, the information concerns the case of Binyam Mohamed a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner. The information from our US Allies states that Mr Mohamed was tortured by the the definition of UK law. This Blog is calling for an Enabling Act to be passed by Parliament but also a Crown Statement to the effect that in future the PM acting as the Head of Government will use the powers of the Crown to set aside any such judgments. That also the PM under the Enabling Act can sack any Judge who thinks they know better than the UK Government acting on behalf of the Crown. The Judges should be reminded that they are there by the grace of the Crown, and that grace can be removed also their pensions. Haven't the UK Government heard of shredders.
