State TV and the Army - Egyptian Crisis


Lets Get Real:

Thus are we seeing democracy Egyptian style, the Muslim Brotherhood won a fair election last year, but they have failed to Govern for the whole of Egypt, they have put Party interest over State interest, thus the move to make Egypt more Islamic, this has caused the Middle Class to take to the streets, the economy is in the toilet, the recent violence in Egypt has put off tourists, thus high unemployment,   Lets see if a new leader can change the future of Egypt, but also keep the peace deal with Israel.   The US will have to keep a careful eye on Egypt for the near future, it can not afford another Syria.   The Arab Spring has turned very nasty and bloody, lets hope Egypt does not have a Civil War

Who Controls Egyptian TV - Crisis in Egypt


Lets Get Real: 

What Egypt does not need a badly developed plan for a Coup, if the Egyptian Army has a plan it should follow through with it, and quick, a two Government structure could lead to a Civil War, those demonstrating do not want a Civil War, thus it can be argued that the Oval and US Defence Department should be telling the Army to act fast and get opposition leaders in who are ready to take charge, there should be fresh elections with an few months, those contesting the election should only be allowed to stand if they support a secular Egypt, even a moderate liberal Egypt, not if they want to turn Egypt in to another Iran.   Thus Egypt faces a crossroads, it either goes down the road of Turkey or Iran, lets see what the hours and days bring folks. 

Major Fault with ObamaCare - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: Reports a major plank of ObamaCare will be delayed in till 2015, those small companies with over 50 workers will not have to cover them in till 2015, the individual mandate still stands. 

Lets Get Real:

This is political folks, the Oval is scared stiff of the 2014 Mid Term Elections, it does not want Democrats to lose more House seats, and this is on the card folks, also the Republicans could narrow the Democratic edge in the Senate.   The Oval is scared that the Republicans could even take the Senate, this would be a nightmare for the Oval, the House would repeal ObamaCare, it might even pass the Senate with a narrow Republican majority, then the Oval would have to veto the Bill.  Lets face it folks, after 2014 comes the run up to the 2016 Presidential Election, the only domestic achievement of President Obama is ObamaCare, if the Republicans take the Oval then ObamaCare is in danger of being repealed, this would not look good for the Obama legacy, Immigration reform could die in the House, there are still battles over the debt ceiling to come, thus folks it is not about Obama NOW, its about the future of the Democratic Party, thus the objectives of Obama and Congressional Democrats might not be the same thing folks, its about winning in 2014 and 2016.
