Financial Reform - Blocked in US Senate

The New York Times: Reports that US Republican Senators have blocked President Obama's financial reform bill in the US Senate, the Republicans argue that its bailout charter for Wall Street. This is a good move by the Republicans, if they can paint Obama as an ally of Wall Street vs Main Street they can use this in the 2010 Mid Term Elections. The US voter is sick to death of Government spending, if the Republicans can make it stick that Obama is funding Wall Street abuse of the tax payer then they could take the House and the Senate. Its an election year folks, everything is fair game, politics never ends, that is the Chicago Way.

Is the UK the next Greece?

BBC News: Reports that Greece has asked the EU/IMF to bail it out of its own financial mess. This could be the future for UK folks if there is a Hung Parliament, the UK voter has to smell the tea, if you vote for a Hung Parliament, which of the political parties are going to make the real cuts that will have to take place, real cuts in benefits and public spending. One gets the impression that the UK voter is having a Mid Life Crisis, but the voter needs to get one fact, the Government cant be the nanny state, it cant solve all your problems, in other words get your head out of your backside and see the the UK is drowning in red ink, there have to be deep and massive cuts in public spending. The Labour idea to increase NI Tax is a job killer, if people vote for young but dim but Mr Clegg they will end up with a Lib Dem/ Lab Pact, in that Pact you will have PM Gordon Brown in power, its that simple and brutal folks, Brown will hold on by his finger nails to the No 10. Thus if you don't want to see the UK like Greece and back in the 1970s see the real world, you have only one option, you might not like it, but its the real world, you have to vote Conservative, otherwise your voting for another five years of Gordon Brown.

Right Call - The UK Debate Last Night

Iain Dale's Diary: The Conservative Blogger calls it for the Conservative Leader David Cameron by a narrow margin. As stated last night in my live tweets of the debate, it was a Cameron win, but the debate was more equal, and Nick Clegg found it hard going when it came to the EU, not a good idea to say that he had worked for the EU in the past, that's the problem with Liberal Democrats they are so extreme pro EU they are out of touch with the voter in the UK. Also it should be noted that the young voter is not an automatic pro EU, in fact they can be very Conservative when it comes to Europe. Also PM Gordon Brown had a good line when it came to the LibDems want to get rid of the the UK's nuclear arsenal, the good line from Brown to Clegg to " Get Real " when it comes to Iran, shows the weakness of the Lib Dems and the real world. The Lib Dems sounded like Neville Chamberlain, they seem to trust Obama to come to the defence of the UK, ask the Czech Republic and Poland if they trust Obama. The best attack came from David Cameron when he called the Labour Party out on its false allegations that a new Conservative Government would cut the benefits to older voters, Brown stated that he not signed off on these political leaflets, rubbish folks, they are even in his own Seat leaflets, in that he is attacking the SNP, but same point. Lets see the polls after a few days, don't trust instant polls, Kerry won the debates in 2004 and still lost the election to Bush 43.
