CNN: Reports on its latest poll on the job performance of President Obama, 42% approve and 54% disapprove of Obama in the Oval. The liberal CNN points out that both Clinton and Reagan had the same poll numbers, but in November 1994 Clinton lost the House to the Republicans, the Democrats didn’t get control back in till 2006. Thus the Obama White House is a negative to moderate and conservative Democrats, they will need to run away from Obama, the President will do some good in getting the money in for candidates but most would rather have a root canal than a picture of them with Obama. Thus lets postulate that the Republicans take the House, what will Obama do, Clinton moved to the centre and won re-election in 1996 but Obama has not given any signs that he will move to the centre, he is a extreme liberal. Thus the election of 2012 will have the following outcome, Obama will lose by around 48/49 States, ObamaCare will be revoked, and the Republicans will control the White House and Congress. That is of course if Obama’s runs, might make a bet that he calls it quits and does not run in 2012.

Wobble Miliband ?
Guardian: Nice line from a Guardian writer about the new Labour Leader Ed Miliband, the article states the following on “ Red Ed “ Miliband, “ Labour has ended up with a wobbly and unpopular jelly in place of a leader. Am I wrong? ”. It comes down to what David Mililband does, he can stay but he should demand the job of Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer, Ed Miliband wont really be in a position to say NO, Christmas is not far off!! Or David Senior could walk off, leave the Labour to his Miliband Junior and come back to save the ship when Miliband Junior hit’s the rocks and the Labour seeks a new Leader. Lets see what would you do if your family stabbed you in the back folks?.
The Bestseller that NEVER WAS ?
Fox News: Reports that the US Defence Department has bought the entire stock of a new book; Operation Dark Heart; and burned all the copies due to a threat to National Security. Its is alleged that the US intelligence knew that 9/11 terrorist leader Mohammed Atta was a threat to the US before 9/11. As this covers the Administrations of Clinton, Bush 43 and Obama one can assume that the security threat of the book is more political, it is interesting that from the UK its only Fox News that is leading with this story. Why is the main stream media ( MSM ) not following up this story, could it be that it makes the Clinton Administration look bad, lets see if this story gets picked up by other outlets. Burning books, makes this blog not that comfortable.
Obama = Carter
Telegraph: Reports on how the new Bob Woodward book has damaged the Obama Presidency, its shows a weak President when it comes Afghanistan, how Obama cares more about the Democratic Party than winning the War in Afghanistan. This blog has noted for sometime that Obama will either be a one term President or might not even run, like LBJ, President Obama needs a fawning crowd, the crowds have gone and joined the Tea Party movement. If in the 2010 Mid Term Elections the Democrats lose the House and the Republicans get close to parity in the Senate the Obama Agenda is dead on the Hill. Thus my developing prediction that Obama just might not run, it is very hard when the crowd stop loving you, go ask Tony Blair Mr President.
Not " Red " Ed = Ed Miliband
BBC News: Reports on Ed Miliband’s first TV interview as Labour Leader, Mr Miliband stated that the Labour Party under his leadership would not go to the left. Two pieces of advice for Miliband Junior, don’t have David Miliband in the Shadow Cabinet, if Ed makes David Chancellor then the Blair/Brown years will look like happy hour in the pub. Politics is a brutal business, you cant have two Milibands in charge of the Party, this is not a banana Republic ( no pun on David Miliband's his fondness for bananas ), in politics your either in or your out, and its easier to get rid Labour Leaders in Opposition than when in Government, in Opposition it only needs 12% of MPs to set off an election. If the public opinion polls in a few years don’t show a Labour lead the MPs will throw Miliband Junior out and seek his replacement, does Ed trust David not to stab him in the back after what he has done! Thus Miliband Junior should find a job anywhere else for David Miliband. The second piece of advice is also about personnel, what ever Ed Miliband does he should not place Ed Balls as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Balls would be after his job fast. The new leader should make a striking gesture and appoint Andy Burnham as Chancellor, show that the past is the past. Also lets be honest if Mr Miliband does fall during the first hurdle, then Labour could do worse than elect Mr Burnham, he has the makings of a new Tony Blair, some more years training in the arts and he just might be the next Labour Leader.
The Ed Miliband Years
In modern politics; in the TV age; you have to have IT, this is defined as STAR power, in recent elections in the US that IT was President Obama, in the past it was JFK and Reagan. The reason for this post is the fact that Ed Miliband is the new Labour Leader and he does not have IT, in 1994 when Tony Blair was elected he had IT, and lets be honest up to Iraq and even after he still had that appeal, he did win the 2005 election after all, its only of late that the elite in the media and politics has turned on Blair. It can argued that neither Obama or Blair have aged well, Reagan looked great at the end of his Presidency, his predecessor Jimmy Carter looked old in 1980. That is the fickle age folks, one minute a rock star, then please get out of the way and let the door hit you on the way out for good measure. Also how can Ed Miliband ask the UK voter to TRUST him when he has just stabbed his own brother in the back, it might be the norm in the Labour Party and Labour Party voters but its not the norm to the rest of the electorate. There is a classic example of this, when Obama threw his white ill grandmother under the bus by stating she had perceived racist views to save his black racist and left wing Pastor, the elite media thought he was honest and fawned over him ( the elite media in the US are parental racist, thus its okay for an African - American to be racist but not a white working class guy. Lets be clear racism is WRONG, colour, white, black, brown, does not matter, is the character that counts, and when it fails its about the person ), but Obama’s poll ratings have gone down the toilet ( due to the fact that he ran as a moderate but has turned out to be a extreme liberal, you seen trust folks, once you lose that voter looks at your character on the whole, as noted above Obama crossed a line with his denouement of his grandmother, to protect a Pastor that had got him up the ladder in Chicago politics ) , one of the reasons is that Obama was WRONG, there are some lines you don’t cross, and throwing blood over the cliff is wrong with the exception if they break the law, armed robbery you get the idea! Thus what Ed Miliband has done with cost him, Labour cant see that, what lesson does that send out to families, its okay it seems in the nuclear family to sabotage family members, destroy their careers in many respects, think about that! Thus if Ed Miliband will stab his brother in the back can he be trusted not to stab the VOTER or the COUNTRY in the back ( the tea party in US is based on the idea that Washington D.C under the Democrats and Obama have spent the US in to ruin), something things are more important than politics.
