The Mid Term Elections of 2010

CNN: Reports that the Republicans are heading to retake the US House of Representatives. Thus the question that will arise is how President Obama will react, if the Republicans take the House the Obama Agenda is DEAD on Capital Hill. Thus will Obama move to the political centre or will he stay with his Liberal Agenda. This is my prediction folks, Obama is not Bill Clinton of 1994, after losing the House Clinton was pragmatic and moved to the centre, Obama thinks his extreme Liberal Agenda is the Centre. Thus Obama will keep to his path and will either not run in 2012 or will face a major defeat, the ego will meet reality folks.

The FROSTY RELATIONSHIP between Bush 43 and President Obama

The New York Times: Reports on the still frosty relationship between Bush 43 and President Obama. President Obama cant open his mouth without being critical of Bush 43 or his Administration. One piece advice to President Obama, God help you if Jeb Bush the former successful and popular Governor of Florida decides to run in 2012 and he beats you, you will have to move to France. If your President there is always the successor, so its wise to treat the guy before you with some respect because your NEXT. Lets be clear Jeb Bush has made it clear that he is not running, but events can change minds, so lets open that door IF, think if your President Obama, your have just suffered the most horrific Presidential Election defeat since Walter Mondale in 1984, that is 49 states have thrown you out, and guess who has defeated you, yes the brother of the guy you have spent four years being critical off to the American people. In that moment you become a non person, no talks with your successor, why would he need you, he would have Bush 41 and Bush 43 and their Staff. All the faults of the American Economy would be placed at your door, you would be the charismatic Jimmy Carter/Walter Mondale. Thus wise up Mr President, there is always someone after you, if a Republican and a Bush well how would you like to be treated, with some respect or as a major league disaster with no second chances!

Brown NOT HAPPY = Blair’s Book

The Independent: Reports that former Labour PM Gordon Brown is less than happy with Tony Blair and his autobiography. One has to ask what has been the Brown reaction to the Diaries of Campbell, the memoirs of the Dark Prince Lord Mandelson, the book by Tony Blair should not have been a surprise, the Brown Camp pushed Blair out, thus one has to wonder do the Blair’s and the Brown’s even exchange Christmas Cards. Lets be honest folks, Mr Brown is a political LOSER, big time, while Mr Blair won three elections, Mr Blair was the longest serving Labour PM while Brown was the shortest serving PM ever. Politics is a brutal games folks, there are winners and losers, and Brown is a loser.

Independence of the Bank of England, The Idea ?

The Daily Mail: Reports on the doubts on the claim made by Tony Blair that it was his idea to make the Bank of England Independent. On this claim this blog is waiting to see more evidence, one would still give credit to Gordon Brown, one can guarantee that Mr Brown will be going up the wall in his self exile in Scotland. At least Tony Blair had the Peace Envoy job to go to after he was pushed out of Downing Street, while Gordon Brown is a backbench MP when he can be bothered to turn up in the House of Commons, has he voted yet on any Bill?

The Left on Tony Blair

Guardian: The Dame of the left wing elite Polly Toynbee has a go at former Labour PM Tony Blair, Ms Toynbee writes the following in the Guardian, “ The timing of this book – and its postscript – is a historic act of treachery to his party. ”. Its is the usual critical attack that Tony Blair is a Conservative, well YES of course he is, that is why he won three elections for the Labour Party. The New Labour Agenda under Labour was never a high tax Party, it was Gordon Brown that went old Labour, also his public spending was more old Labour. This is why the elite in the Guardian & Independent support Gordon Brown, they represent old Labour. Also it can be argued that Mr Blair supports the public spending cuts of the new government and the raise in VAT, all policies opposed by Labour. If the Guardian ran Labour the Party it would never bee in power again.

My History or the TRUTH ? = Tony Blair

Telegraph: A very critical review of the autobiography of Tony Blair, how Mr Blair allowed Gordon Brown to bankrupt the UK. It will be interesting to read the economic policy chapters of TB’s book, it is true that under New Labour that the Government didn’t keep something for a rainy day, thus the blame has to start with the PM for the majority of those years, in this case Tony Blair, but lets be clear who ran the UK Treasury between 1997 and 2007, it was Gordon Brown, before he was Mr Bean he was Stalin.
