Israel DON'T use UK Passports

The Times: Reports that an Israeli hit team used the stolen passports of UK Subjects to cover their tracks. This blog supports Israel, but there are limits, its not what they did, the state of Israel and its Intelligence service the Mossad have the duty and the right to protect Israel, that is not the question, it is when they use methods that affect UK interests or subjects. What if an innocent UK Subject takes the fall for an operation done by Israel. Thus next time Israel pick on France or an other EU country, hands off UK subjects.

No 2nd Term for Obama ?

RCP Blog: Reports on a new poll by CNN News that has Obama losing his 2nd Term Bid. What is interesting is that poll has the same number for All Americans and those Registered to a Party. In both Polls 52% of voters say POTUS does not deserve a second term, while 44% support a second term for Obama. If your a political operator in the White House these kind of polls should make you very worried. On the one front you have Congressional Leadership that wants to ram health care reform through with the nuclear option of 51 votes in the US Senate, but on the other hand the US voter hates the plan. Then there is the Mid Term Congressional Elections in November, if the Republicans take the House and the Senate the Obama domestic agenda is dead on the Hill. Then you have a President in President Obama who has stated that he would rather be a a good one term President than a average two term President. The last problem is the most serious for the White House political team, if a President thinks that then he has read to many of his own press statements. The Obama White House needs someone you can speak truth to power, someone Obama cant throw under the bus, Ronald Reagan had Nancy Reagan, who does Obama have at his ear. The one issue that Obama needs to see go away is health care reform, but it seems that he is to weak to prevent a nuclear option by the Hill leadership, if the Hill passes their version of health care reform the Democrats will lose the House, Senate and Obama will lose the Oval in 2012.

The Senate in Play 2010

The Fix - Washington Post: Reports that with the retirement of Senator Bayh the Republicans have a chance of taking the US Senate. One has to ask do Democrats in the US Senate want to use the nuclear option of 51 votes to get health care reform through if this causes them to lose the Senate in 2010. That's the problem with the nuclear option for health care reform closer you get to the election, do Democrats want to defend tax hikes and forcing Americans to buy insurance, policy and politics are two different things, the policy might be right if your a LIBERAL but the politics could take you off the political cliff, do the Democrats want to hand the House and Senate over to the Republicans.

2010 Mid Term Elections

Fox News: Reports on the unexpected news that Senator Bayh of Indiana will not run for a third team in the US Senate. If Republicans play their cards well they have a chance of taking the House and the Senate. The one gift President Obama and the liberals leaders on the Hill could give to the Republicans is to use the nuclear option when it comes to health care reform, if the Democrats decide to push the health care reform bill through with just 51 Democratic votes in the Senate they will hand the Hill to the Republicans in 201o and the Oval in 2012. Lets hope the Democrats are that foolish, please be that foolish Speaker Pelosi and Senator Reid.
