Obama 48% Disapprove = Gallup

Gallup: Reports on its latest daily tracking polls on Obama's performance as President, its not good news for the President, President Obama has a 44% approval rating, while 48% disapprove of the job performance of Obama. Its not just the oil spill that has hurt Obama in the polls, its the general arrogance of the White House, you can be arrogant but you better be right, Obama argued to Democrats that once health care reform was passed the voters would support the move, the last poll had nearly 70% opposed to ObamaCare, when it comes to Watergate style use of job offers to get people to throw races this does not look like what Obama offered on the Campaign trial in 2008, what is worse is the fact that Obama has moved Chicago methods in to Oval and used Bill Clinton as one of his operatives. Thus we come to the oil spill, one has to think the Olympic Gods thought one way to show that Obama could not walk on water was to create a crisis deep in the water, thus the present problems for the President. One can postulate in less Obama is very lucky the Mid Term Congressional Elections are going to be a nightmare, very much like Bill Clinton had in 1994. The question that has to be asked does Obama have the talent to recover or are we seeing another Jimmy Carter with charisma. Iran is the next problem for Obama, and that could be much worse for the Oval.

Japan = Greece ?

Guardian: Reports that the Government of Japan has warned that it could be on the same path as Greece when it comes to its debt. It is simple folks, there is to much debt in the system, the generic Western Governments can not afford the welfare states that have developed since 1945, the banking disaster of 2008 and the bailouts are just icing on top of a debt from the welfare systems. Those countries that have a welfare system have to have a real and hard public discussion about the role of Government in the civic structure, at the end of the day people will have to accept that the Government can not cover you from birth to death, the Government can only be there for those that really need help, the question that has to be asked do modern Western politicians have the political nerve to tell truth to the voters, if not future generations will pay the costs of the bad Government policy of today.

SHUT UP OBAMA = DPM Clegg

Telegraph: Reports on the UK Deputy PM Nick Clegg in essence telling President Obama to shut up about BP. It is great that it is the Lib Dem leader that is telling Obama to shut up about BP, this really places the Labour Party right off the cliff, they are either going to defend Obama and his his attacks on BP and thus the pensions of UK subjects or they support the move and annoy the left. This new politics is fun, Lib Dems can attack Obama as they are the Liberal part of the Coalition but also they support public spending cuts, thus the blame is shared by the Conservatives and the Lib Dems.

Cameron on Afghanistan

BBC News: Reports on a visit by the new Conservative PM David Cameron to Afghanistan, the PM stressed that UK was in Afghanistan to protect the national security of the UK. The sentiment stressed by PM Cameron was the same line as Gordon Brown, the new Coalition Government could have used the economic mess that Labour left behind as a reason to withdraw or cut UK troops in Afghanistan, it seems we are tied to the Obama Administration, even when Obama by his language is threatening the pensions of UK subjects by his attack on BP.
