Banning an alleged Hostage Taker - US Blocks Iran Choice for UN


Lets Get Real:

One has to wonder what Iran is playing at, one could postulate that they want to sabotage the talks between the US and Iran, there have been reports that conservative elements in Iran have told the new President that he better get a deal or he is out, if Iran's President thinks he will not get a good deal he might be using the hostage card as way to say he tried but that the US was never interested in real talks.  Of course it could be conservative elements in Iran that picked this choice, knowing that it would have this effect.  The Oval Office must know it can not fight to many battles, it is low in the polls, it needs to keep some appeal to the floating voter and moderate Republicans, they would not be happy if Obama allowed an alleged former hostage taker to become Iran's Ambassador to the UN.   

Kathleen Sebelius OUT as Health Secretary - 2nd Term Blues


Lets Get Real: 

This might be a short term victory for the White House, Secretary Sebelius has been the public face of ObamaCare, thus the Republican attacks have been centred on her and her Department, with the White House spin on those that have signed up for ObamaCare the actual problems could came later, how many of those signed up have paid the first month's insurance, how many had insurance before ObamaCare, does the new law get the millions who had no cover some health cover at last, sooner or later the Obama Administration will have to answer those questions, then if the news is negative the Republican Party will move its critical comment to Obama, while Sebelius was Secretary she took the majority of the political hits, now its the turn of the Oval Office.   The question was the Secretary pushed or did she decide to go after some good news, the memoirs of those that took part IN ObamaCare will be very interesting to historians.
