Landrieu's Big Defeat - 2nd Term Blues

CNN - Politics: Reports " Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu lost her Senate runoff race Saturday night, felled by the red tide that's swept the South and ties to an unpopular President that she couldn't shake. "

Lets Get Real:

The Democratic Party have to get a new face for the leadership of the Democratic Party, the Party has nearly been wiped out in the Southern States, ObamaCare is still not popular.   Those at leadership level within the Democratic Party have to have a serious think about getting rid of ObamaCare before ObamaCare takes care of them, in other words, the end of their political careers.  When a policy hurts you as much as ObamaCare has done to the Democrats you have to start asking yourself, is it worth it, what if the Republicans take the Oval Office in 2016, and allow ObamaCare to wither away, no money or support.   Thus time for Democrats to grow up and get rid of ObamaCare, if you lose your not much help to anyone, including yourself. 

Botched Rescue Attempt - Deaths of Pierre Korkie and Luke Somers

BBC News: Reports " US special forces who tried to rescue photojournalist Luke Somers from al-Qaeda in Yemen were not aware of the identity of the other hostage held with him, a US official has told the BBC. "

Lets Get Real:

This can be the cost when you have to use US Special Forces to rescue your citizens.   The worry is that he US did not know that Mr Korkie's freedom had been bought, this kind of information should have been know by the US State Department.   The Obama White House like the Kennedy White House likes to use US Special Forces if not ground troops, this time it diid not work, there will be other cases and it will work.   In the War on Terror it never ends, if its not IS its Al Qaeda in Yemen, or other franchise groups.    This War will take a long time, and will last in to other Administrations, the death toll never ends in this war.  Our thoughts are with the Somers and Korkie families.
