The New York Times: Reports that the Obama Re-Elect Committee is looking at how Bush 43 won the 2004 election and can they use the same campaign plan to defeat the Republican Nominee. This is interesting folks, if true a great compliment to Bush 43 and his Campaign staff, do I think its realistic, H-LL no, lets start with the basic and most important, Bush 43 cut taxes, Obama has given the US ObamaCare, this has seen medical costs go up, also the Bush 43 tax cuts lead to an economic boom, while Obama is on 9.1 unemployment. Also Bush 43 was real leader, he took tough decisions, and he did not run away from them, Obama has done so many flip flops one does really lose count, so its hardly a charge he can throw at Mitt Romney, it would be to easy for the Republican to attack Obama from his flip flop on terrorists trials to his freeze of green regulation, thus not an easy charge for Obama to throw. Also lets recall Bush 43 barely won, it was down to Ohio and a good field operation by the Republicans. Interesting idea but rubbish.

Romney vs. Obama = IRAQ
The Hill: Reports that Governor Mitt Romney, the leading Republican Candidate for the Republican nomination has been highly critical of the Iraq withdrawal announced by President Obama. The effects of the withdrawal will be see in the future folks, if Iraq does not become a puppet of Iran, if he remains a close US ally then the move will be seen as wise, if the reverse happens and as stated Iraq falls either to become a puppet of Iran or worse Iran tries to make Obama look like a fool by invading Iraq then the Oval has a problem. Lets face it folks if your Iran and your going nuclear, how would you divert attention, a real or phoney invasion of Iraq, draw the world attention away from your nuclear buildings and plans, make Iraq a hot issue for the 2012 Presidential Election. Thus we shall see down the road folks, has the Oval been wise or foolish ?
President Obama - End Iraq Conflict
Historic statement folks, the end of US presence in Iraq by the end of 2011.
Green Light for NEXT Greek Bailout
Telegraph Live - Euro: Reports that the EU has agreed the next part of the Greek Bailout, thus the Greeks will get the expected eight billion Euros once the IMF also says yes. The EU had no choice folks, the Greeks in many respects have a gun at the head of the EU and the Euro, the EU wants to build a firewall around EU banks before a Greek default, thus they have to keep Greece from defaulting. Yesterday even in the face of a death on the streets of Athens the Greek Parliament passed the latest austerity package of the Greek Government. Thus the importance of the three stage agreement that has been rumoured for weeks, a bailout of the banks, a stability fund and a managed default of Greece. The basic problem is that the French Government don’t want the private banks to take a 50% to 60% write off of Greek debt, the French have stated that they have the funds to bailout French banks, BS folks, one can postulate that the French Government does not want to cap in hand to the EU for money, it would mean defeat for the President in the 2012 election. Thus economic reality vs. political reality, what will give folks.
The US and Iraq - The Iraq War
BBC News: Reports that President Obama has announced that the US will leave Iraq at the end of the 2011. As the article notes the US has lost 4.408 of its Armed Forces Personnel in Iraq, a heavy toll for a very debatable War in the end, the 2011 end date was part of the Status of Forces Agreement ( SOFA ) singed by Bush Administration and the Iraqi Government. The Iraq War at the end of the day is not American’s 2nd Vietnam War, the Bush surge of 2007 averted disaster, the insurgents on the whole were defeated by the US in partnership with the Iraqi Government. Thus what happens when the US leaves, its an open question folks, will Iraq become a puppet state of Iran, could Iran chance its luck and invade Iraq next year, all are option folks. Thus could future events make Iraq the 2nd US Vietnam War, should the worse happen and Iraq goes under, the Obama will merge in to LBJ and President Ford.
Jobs and Obama
The White House: Statement from President Obama on the US Senate’s rejection of his Jobs Plan. “ For the second time in two weeks, every single Republican in the United States Senate has chosen to obstruct a bill that would create jobs and get our economy going again. ”. What POTUS leaves out is the fact that the Republicans had Democratic support in blocking Obama. The President states the point of the plan, “ Every Senate Republican voted to block a bill that would help middle class families and keep hundreds of thousands of firefighters on the job, police officers on the streets, and teachers in the classroom when our kids need them most. ”. It shows how hollow the rhetoric is from the Oval, none of the jobs are in the private sector, Obama is just pandering to his base again, that is not being leader, does he watch the news from Greece, the public sector is going to take hit, if liberal or left wing politicians cant see that they are fools. This is about 2012 folks, even Obama states that in his own way, “ So the choice is clear. Our fight isn’t over. ”. The problem is someone has told Obama he is the next Harry Truman, sorry folks that is BS, is Obama so much in the bubble he cant see the real world any more, it can happen folks, but normally takes two terms for that effect to show in the Oval.
