Obama Toast - NYT Prediction ?

The New York Times: Has a great article that looks at the political factors for the 2012 race and the how POTUS matches up to Romney and Perry, on the whole the article states the following prediction, “ ....the odds tilt slightly toward Obama joining the list of one-termers. ”. This should worry the Chicago Re-Election Committee, if the liberal NYT is playing it safe then they are in real trouble. The NYT does not want to be frozen out by a Romney White House, it wants to be seen as being FAIR, well as fair as you can be for the extreme New York Times. If you’re a political geek read this article, very fair and well argued, even if the economic factors did seem some what complex, this blog hates economics!! This blog has the following factors, if Unemployment is still around 9%, if the wrong track polls for the US still outweigh right track, if Iran has gone nuclear then Obama is toast.

Bill Clinton vs. Obama

The Hill: Reports that former President Bill Clinton is critical of President Obama for not raising the debt ceiling when the Democrats controlled the Congress. The Big Dog ( that’s the Democrats nickname for BC ) has cocked his leg and you know what over the Obama’s Oval. Lets recall the Obama Campaign in 2008 used the race card against Bill Clinton, against a President that many called the first “ Black President ” what ever the Clintons say they will never forgive Obama for that, also lets be honest in economic terms Bill Clinton was a better President, but more important a great politician, Clinton loves the fight, Obama needs to be loved, there is a difference folks.

42% Approval for POTUS - Gallup

Gallup: Reports that POTUS has a 42% Approval rating, while 51% of Americans Disapprove of the Obama record. Thus President Obama is back to the low 40s folks, even with the unemployment level going down from 9.1% to 9% and the press obsession with the Cain “ sex scandal ”. The G20 was a disaster in PR terms, the Greeks took over, one can see a Chapter in Obama’s Presidential memoirs, “ Those Bloody Greeks”, as Obama has spent trillions on his ObamaCare and his economic programme he could hardly lecture the Greeks or help, if he hadn’t pandered he could have helped out Greece and the Euro, Europe would have loved him again, he would have gotten points from European Americans. Thus it’s a year to go folks before the Presidential Election, as of date this blog is sticking with its prediction that Obama will lose big time.

Papandreou OUT Today - Eurozone Crisis

Mail on Sunday: Reports from Sky News that the Greek PM George Papandreou will resign today. Thus the Markets should happy folks, well if you can read the markets, at least a Coalition Government will go down well with France and Germany, the new short term Government should be able to push through the tough and extreme EU austerity package. But as stated in previous post politicians can pass what they like, will the people support the move, will they pay their taxes, will people not try to move their money out of Country. Greece is not out of the woods yet folks.

With Respect ( Not ) - France

Guardian: The left wing paper rebukes the French President for his latest attack on the UK, the paper states the following to the French President “ ..one thing we Brits are known for, it's our manners. And that, sir, was simply not cricket. ”. This blog never agrees with the Guardian about ANY subject, but good for the paper, standing up against the elite view of Paris. The French are in no position to lecture US Brits, after two failed Wars and God knows how many Republics and BENT politicians or OVERSEXED leaders the French should just accept that the UK is morally on higher ground, in the arts ITS out culture that dominates, French art is small and limited, ALL about France, lets face they have to make up for their history. Good for you Guardian.

Greek Turmoil - Eurozone Crisis

BBC News: Reports that Antonis Samaras the leader of the Conservative New Democracy Party in Greece has stated that the current Greek PM George Papandreou must step down before there can be a short term Coalition Government. Thus the confidence vote for Mr Papandreou was a short term victory, the Opposition wants his head before they will support the tough EU austerity package for Greece. The question is will the people of Greece buy in to the package, will they pay the new taxes via their electric bills, will the Unions accept the cuts in the public sector, will the Greek people accept that the austerity package only takes them back to the position that Greece has nearly two years ago, of 120% to GDP. It can be argued that the politicians and people of Greece are in a drugged state of not seeing the truth, the Greeks need to be out of the Euro, otherwise they are the servant of Berlin, and Berlin has the money and can demand how high Greece jumps, what a poor state of affairs for Greece.
