No Private Chats Mr President - Speaker Boehner

The Hill: Reports the following on the new path to be taken by Republican Speaker John Boehner, " ..he’s telling Republicans he is done with private, one-on-one negotiations with President Obama. ".

Lets Get Real:

This is the right mood music folks, no more one to one cosy chats, hard ball all the way, make all discussions as public as possible, make an fallout a Oval Office problem, its not very diplomatic, but this Chicago politics, the Oval will respect that, he is a Son of Chicago politics. The Speaker should not offer POTUS a dam thing, NOTHING, make it ALL about cuts, if POTUS brings up tax hikes, dismiss them with contempt.    Time for Republicans to be Reagan Republicans, and WIN. 

The Next Battle CUTS - 2nd Obama Term

The New York Times: Reports on the next battle between the Oval and the Republican House and notes the following, " A stalemate next time will bring no threat of higher taxes, and Republicans may stand firmer, demanding cuts that undo Mr. Obama’s recent gains. ".

Lets Get Real: 

This is time for Speaker Boehner to show some backbone, no deals, no private chats, no NOTHING, if POTUS wants a debt ceiling deal make his eyes water, if his arrogance gets in the way, close down the Government, and keep it close, make the Oval suffer real hear burn, show Democrats that more than one side can go over the cliff, its will hurt the Republicans in the short term but they will win, at the end of the day President Obama would have to solve the problem, his watch, his time, and he should not get a dam thing through the House, NOTHING, not even the White House Budget.  It Chicago politics 101, if you give the guy money and he does not get that fact, cut him off, CUT IT ALL OFF, that means every government programme, even defence.  The liberals will howl, they always do, people will not be happy, but at the end of the day the US Government might just get a government structure that works.     I am sure POTUS wont mind staying with his move star friends, as the White House is a Government building, no money, even for the lights.   Yes folks this kind of approach would take back bone of steel, and nerve, but that is what political leadership is, or the US will go down the route of the Roman and British Empires, and US does not have a Crown at the end of day. 

Hating the Rich - France

Guardian Live: Reports the following in its 3.21pm post, " The French government's 75% tax rate on incomes over €1m may have been knocked back by a constitutional court, but president Francois Hollande wants to reintroduce it next year,.. ". 

Lets Get Real:

This is your future United States, you have in President Obama a close cousin of President Hollande, he has stated he wants to increase taxes further, for those of you not around in the 1970s, income tax was around 90% if you were rich in some Western countries.  Thus the economic black hole that millions suffered through, why do you think Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher won in the late 70s and early 80s, they understood that Government does not help, it destroys the will to get rich, the reason that President Obama does not get this simple fact is that he has NEVER worked in the private sector, he has spent his entire pre political life in the public sector, he has NEVER invented a dam thing, had to pay other people with private money, make money for investors.  Obama is the worse kind of liberal, work shy in the private sector, he has never had to work, everyone tells him he is brilliant, his tax hike agenda wont last after 2016, you can take that to the bank folks, there will be no Son of Obama as Bush 43 was seen as the heir to Ronald Reagan.   That is a tragic nature of Obama, when your ego does not match real reality, but your own version of it, in the real world Obama would get the sack from the private sector, its the TRUTH folks, and the worse part is US voters get that fact, and they still voted for him, all Empires end at the feet of hollow leader. 

Israel, Iran and Syria

Telegraph: Reports the following on Israeli perspective on the effects of an Israeli strike on Iran and the reaction of Syria, " Iran's ability to retaliate for any Israeli strike on its nuclear facilities has been "dramatically" reduced by the disintegration of President Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria, an Israeli intelligence report has said. ". 

Lets Get Real:

This folks could be the Israeli Government telling itself what it wants to hear,  think Iraq and what the then UK and US Governments wanted to hear about weapons of mass destruction, in other words the Israeli Government should not take action before it has firm defences against Hamas in Gaza and Hizbollah in Lebanon,   If Israel does strike Iran these Iran supported terrorists groups will have to obey their financial Master which is Iran.  On the other hand Iran might want to get the US in to the action, thus hit its Navel presence in the Gulf or hit US bases in the Gulf States.   The Israeli political spectrum is going hard right folks, thus the new Israeli Government might be under pressure to call two state peace solution dead and STRIKE Iran.    In 2012 we have seen the drums of War start between Israel, US and Iran, those drums have not gotten more quite because POTUS has gotten a 2nd term.   In fact those drums are going to get louder, the first couple of 2013 could be very interesting folks, watch this space.
