The New York Times: Reports on the upcoming battle between the Republican House and Obama White House over raising the debt limit. It should come as no great surprise but the liberal NYT is trying to place the blame for the level of the debt on the Republicans, it does not seem to get the fact that their LIBERAL President had added trillions to the national debt with his failed economic package and ObamaCare. The Republicans should make it as clear as water to President Obama if does not want the US to go in to default the price will be the repeal of his beloved ObamaCare. The Republicans in the House should make it clear that this is not a bluff, a US in default would place ALL Liberal reforms since the New Deal on the chopping block. The Republicans should make it simple, either Obama revokes ObamaCare or ALL Liberals reforms from FDR onwards will be revoked as a price for the Congress to act once the US goes in to default. This is called Chicago politics folks.

No Money or Food = Benghazi
Telegraph: Reports that Eastern Rebel town of Benghazi is running out of food and money. A rebel army needs food and money, but at its base it needs to feed the population that support the rebels, otherwise over time the Gaddafi regime will start to look good for the basics of life. Thus the West, in this case the Allies of UK the France will have to fund the rebels with food and money, the endless War, and it feels like an endless war plays in to the hands of Colonel Gaddafi. In the case of the UK does PM Cameron want to have to justify why the RAF is still bombing in Libya six months or a year later, time for arms and UK trainers to be sent in to the East of Libya, all under cover, a D notice etc, but this War has to end soon, and that does not mean six months.
Budget Fight - All Win = Republicans and Democrats
The resolution to the 2011 Budget fight is a way for both POTUS and the Republicans, from the view of the Republicans they have got nearly forty billion of cuts, while POTUS can argue to his liberal base that abortion for women will not be cut, President Obama stated the following about the deal, “ …This agreement between Democrats and Republicans, on behalf of all Americans, is on a budget that invests in our future while making the largest annual spending cut in our history. Like any worthwhile compromise, both sides had to make tough decisions and give ground on issues that were important to them. And I certainly did that. Some of the cuts we agreed to will be painful. Programs people rely on will be cut back. Needed infrastructure projects will be delayed. And I would not have made these cuts in better circumstances. But beginning to live within our means is the only way to protect those investments that will help America compete for new jobs -- investments in our kids’ education and student loans; in clean energy and life-saving medical research. We protected the investments we need to win the future. At the same time, we also made sure that at the end of the day, this was a debate about spending cuts, not social issues like women’s health and the protection of our air and water. These are important issues that deserve discussion, just not during a debate about our budget. ”. Thus stressing that the cuts will be painful will go down well with Conservative and Independent voters, that is good for the 2012 Campaign, but POTUS should make his liberal base happy by stressing that abortion is not part of the cuts. Thus a win all round folks. Only the extremes of both parties should have a problem.

Our thoughts are with the family of Colour Sergeant Cameron.
