Time Folks

The Times: Reports that after his win on Tuesday, President - Elect Obama will try to make the voters understand that it will take time to achieve his goals. In other words its all rhetoric folks, he will get you to buy the car but don't be surprised if the Car on the way out of the shops stalls, the economy goes in to recession, the wheels comes off, the Obama Plans cant be done, no money. The Petrol in the Car cant get you home, the USA goes in to a deep recession. Ronald Reagan had tough economic times in the early years but the tax cuts allowed the economy to boom for years. Obama folks wants to raise your taxes, tax hikes and recession, let see the last President to do that was President Hoover.

Libya and Reagan

Fox News: Reports that the USA attack intention on Libya in 1986 under the orders of President Ronald Reagan in response to Libyan terror attacks on the West was leaked by Italy to Libya before the attack. The Gipper would not have been happy that USA attacks plans had been leaked by a NATO member to a terrorist Nation. The Reagan Diaries show that President Ronald Reagan considered Libya a threat to the USA.

Terror Message

ABC News: Has an exclusive, it seems the impotent terror mastermind, Osama bin Laden is going to send a message to the USA before or after the election to show that he is still a threat. Osama Bin Laden is hiding under a rock somewhere on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan, his power has waned as the USA has been on the attack since 9/11. If does come out of his rock hiding place, lets not cover him, lets show how impotent he is, old rubbish and old news. The advantage of him showing his face is that the USA could take him out.

08 Race and the West Wing

The New York Times: A great article that points out that the West Wing was doing the 08 race in 2006. And lets be honest the West Wing had better writing, will it come down Nevada again as in the series, that would be to close! Article of the Day.

New Poll - Fox News

Fox News: Reports that 08 race has gotten closer, Obama 47% - McCain 44%. Thus another poll that has the the race at 3% lead for Obama. The weekend polls should give us a good idea by how much Obama will win on Tuesday. As the Presidential race is over it will be interesting to see if the American Voter will give Obama a majority in the Congress. It could be argued that this year we could see split ticket voting, Obama for President and Republicans for Congress, it worked well for the Clinton Presidency. The early Exit Polls should be interesting, but be warned Kerry in 2004 was leading in those before the Republican vote came in later in the day.

Closing the Deal ?

Fox News: Reports on the thirty minute political ad by Obama last night, a split result on how effective Obama was at closing the deal with the American People. I wonder about this strategy, Obama is out spending McCain in every state, after while people just turn off, its wall to wall Obama, it can become irritating after a while, thus in a odd way the McCain message might be getting through, that Senator Obama is a tax hiker who will appease the enemies of the USA.

That Magic 3% of the 08 Race

IBD/TIPP: Reports on its new tracking poll result. Obama is ahead by 3%. As stated in previous post, both Gallup and Rasmussen also have the same result. Lets see if the Obama info commercial can add a few points to his lead going in to the weekend. The Poll found the following, Obama 47% - McCain 44%. The economic attack by McCain on Obama came to late, the American voter has decided on change, they have given Obama a pass on his odd connections and his aim to spread the wealth from the rich to the poor. Lets hope its a quick victory on Tuesday, don't need another 2000 or 2004. Need a weekend break before thinking about the Obama Cabinet and 2012 race.
