Obama SPIN on his Stimulus Bill

The New York Times: Reports on the latest attempt by President Obama to sell his perceived success with his economic package, the article states the following on the Obama spin, " has created or saved as many as two million new jobs, lowered taxes for 95 percent of Americans and spared the country a..........disastrous depression. ". At the start of the Obama Administration the spin was that if the Hill did not pass the Obama Economic Package the rate of those of work would go beyond 8%, it now 9.7%, it is expected that by the Mid Term Congressional Elections that the rate of those out of work will be between 10% and 11%. Thus by the empirical evidence the Obama Administration has failed, lets give it the benefit of doubt of money sent to districts that don't exist or jobs that don't exist, or numbers that are just wrong. In some states the rate of those out of work in nearly 20%, thus this is why Obama will lose House and is on the way to lose the Senate.

The Taliban = Cowards

BBC News: Reports that the Taliban of Afghanistan are using human shields to counter Operation Moshtarak. This is the act of cowards, not worthy of the rules of War. These terrorists when caught should be summary executed as the cowards/ terrorists they are, they have shown by this action that they don't care about the people of Afghanistan. On the other hand, UK troops should not allow human shields to prevent them defending themselves. In other words if the Taliban are using human shields and are a threat to the UK soldiers there is only one cause of action, take out the threat. The loss of innocent human life is sad but UK soldiers have to defend themselves and the mission. There can only be one winner.

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.
