Tony Blair and Rendition

Guardian: Has an exclusive report that a Libyan Islamist and his family were sent to Gaddafi’s Libya and faced torture conditions under a MI6 rendition operation, the operation happened before a visit by Tony Blair to Libya. One does have to wonder who in the UK Labour Government gave the green light for sending a family in to a torture environment, the article notes that the operation followed approval at Minister level. Thus a few Labour Ministers might face some very tough questions, it has to be asked did former PM Tony Blair have any knowledge of such operations, at least someone at Secretary of State level must have given the green light.

Greek Default

Telegraph Live: Report that Greece is going to default, this has been denied by Greece. This would not be a great surprise folks, in fact Greece would be better off if it did default, then it could start from scratch, even better it should default and leave the Euro. The EU would then have to keep Greece going through loans, thus far its money down the toilet, also some EU countries are asking for collateral if they loan to Greece, have my doubts about the story but would not be surprised folks, lets see, time will tell folks.

The Obama Jobs Plan

BBC News: Reports on President Obama’s 450 billion jobs plan, its elements contain tax cuts for small business and welfare spending. The speech was typical class warfare folks, Obama wants to tax the rich to pander to his liberal base, the august Joint Session of Congress was used as a political theatre. If Obama wants to play political games then the Republicans should pass the popular tax cuts and then say no to the rest, force Obama to come out of tax hikes, that might go down well with the liberal New York Times, but it wont work in a re-election year. The political opinion is that Obama wants the House to say No so he can argue in 2012 that he is running against a do nothing Congress, aka Harry Truman in 1948, the problem for POUTS is he is no Truman, the House Republicans were elected to say NO to Obama, after he passed ObamaCare, Democrats are having flashbacks if they think this trick would work with Obama as the nominee, this is blog is close to calling this election NOW, and it would be negative for Obama, lets see what other tricks Obama has, they better be good, otherwise he wont be Truman, he will be Walter Mondale.

Obama and Taxes

Telegraph: Reports that President Obama in his speech to a joint session of Congress will state that taxes will have to go up to pay for another Obama Stimulus. As noted in previous post folks the Oval wants to spend between 300 -400 billion dollars in stimulus spending, after the failure of the first Obama stimulus. It is fair to say that POTUS is pandering to his base again, the Republicans should just tell him to get lost and grow up, that’s the problem folks if all through your life you are told you are fantastic, the best, you start to think its true. Either Obama is very stupid, even Harvard does not Graduate fools or the Oval has given up on re-election and wants the Oval to be the new Titanic of US politics. The Republican House WILL NEVER pass tax hikes. Thus the majority of this new plan is DOA on arrival on Congress, Norway should never have given Obama the Novel Peace Prize for nothing, his ego as hit hubris, and the result will be a massive defeat in 2012, it cant be to soon for this feckless politician, such a shame.

Romney and Perry on ObamaCare

BBC News: Reports both Governors Romney and Perry promised to repeal ObamaCare if elected. The leading Republicans Candidates should stick to attacking President Obama over the state of the US economy and his passing of ObamaCare. The liberal main stream media will cover for Obama, will try to divert the agenda from the Obama weak points to abortion, issues that nearly 90% of the liberal media follow without thinking. They will try to cause social issues to become the MOST important issue, both Romney and Perry should not play that game, they should stick to the Bill Clinton Campaign line of 1992, it’s the economy stupid.

Romney vs. Perry = Presidential Debate

The New York Times: Reports on the Republican debate at the Reagan Presidential Library, it notes that Governor Perry is running to the base to win the nomination, while Romney is seeking a more moderate conservative campaign, one that will gain Independent voters. In the normal course of events it can be argued that Governor Romney has the better Campaign strategy, but these are not normal time folks, it can be argued that US voter and Republican voters want another Reagan, it can be postulated that President Obama is morphing in to Jimmy Carter, thus the US voter might want a frank speaking Conservative Republican nominee. That’s not to say Romney is out, not my first choice, but his answer to the charge that he had created less jobs than Michael Dukakis, a former Governor of Massachusetts, was to hit back that Perry has created less jobs than President George W. Bush when he was Governor of Texas. Thus it will be an interesting fight between Romney and Perry folks, the others in the race don’t matter, harsh but true folks. This blog still gives the edge to Perry, does recall Reagan.

Obama and the 300 Billion Plan ?

Bloomberg: Reports that President Obama will request that the Congress passes a three hundred billion job package, the packages contains tax cuts and government spending. Well we have discovered that POTUS is not serious about Government folks, this is another spend like you’re a drunk sailor plan. The US is fourteen trillion in debt and part of the plan contains the idea to raise taxes, does the Oval have a deaf ear, or does the Obama hubris have no bounds. The Republicans should tell the Oval if this is the plan don’t bother turning up, there is closed sign on the door, better things to waste time on. Thus one can see the argument, the Obama Campaign is going to run on, the daft idea that if the Republicans would just listen to the STAR then the world would be perfect. It seems Harvard Law Graduates are not that bright, or is it just liberal Harvard Law Graduates. Well if the above story is true this blog will not bother with the speech, less of strain just to read the White House transcript, at least you can read rubbish in your own time. The Republican candidates at the Republican debate at the Reagan Presidential Library should all attack the Obama plan as foolish liberal agenda gone bonkers, it seems Obama has not learned a important film business lesson, if your last film was flop, learn why and change, otherwise hope you have a career as a character actor, otherwise your finished, and the need to get a real job, thus Obama might find he returns to Harvard to be a law Professor in 2013.
