Obama's Berlin Speech - Review

Telegraph: Here is a review of President Obama's Berlin Speech, following in the steps of President Kennedy and President Reagan, the article notes the following, " Barack Obama bombs in Berlin: a weak, underwhelming address from a floundering president ".

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks the Obama " Star Show " is over, 2nd terms never go well, just ask Nixon, Reagan, Clinton and Bush 43, but the BIG BUT when talking about Obama's speech is the fact that Reagan had gone through Iran - Contra in late 1986, and then a Congress started hearings, that did not stop Reagan from being Leader of the West, he demanded that President Gorbachev, " .....if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization: Come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! "*  The 2nd Obama Term is going through its scandals, from Libya to the IRS, and a few other in between, the Obama of 2013 is not the Obama of 2008, a weak President is a weak leader, the US needs another Reagan in 2017.

Obama's FAILURE on Afghanistan - Afghanistan Update

Guardian: Reports the first attempts for talks between the US and the Afghan Taliban, the article notes the following, " Afghan government anger at opening of Taliban office in Qatar leads US to suspend plans to attend talks  ".

Lets Get Real:

Advice to the Oval, when POTUS gets back to the Oval has really has to sit down and work what he wants to do with Afghanistan, the news that the US was to start talks with the Afghan Taliban looked good at first, but then the Afghan Government threw a wobble and the US has had to back down, the Afghan War was the War that Candidate Obama wanted to fight, it was the GOOD WAR, going after those that had killed three thousand people in New York in 2001.   But there is a difference between being a Candidate and President, the War is not popular, it has cost to much in US lives and in US money.  The US Voter wants OUT of Afghanistan, thus this rush to start talks before all the dots had been connected folks, with the Taliban and the Afghan Government.   After 2014 the Oval can not afford for the Taliban to take over Afghanistan, this would look like Vietnam all OVER AGAIN, Obama does not want to be seen as another LBJ, when one thinks of the Johnson Administration one thinks of Vietnam not the Great Society, one has to give some credit to the Oval for getting out of Iraq, even if there was no agreement on a post war stay for the US, thus the present problems, in Afghanistan Obama does not want to be in the Oval and see people feeling on the last helicopter as was the fate of President Ford in 1975.    The US should get OUT in 2014, leave a shaky Government and make it known, that should Afghanistan become a threat again, the US will nuke them, be very clear on that, the powers never win Afghanistan, its just how much damage the Powers suffer before they get out, time to get out of Afghanistan folks.
