Romney on ObamaCare

The Hill: Reports leading Republican Candidate Governor Mitt Romney has stated that the US Supreme Court will declare that ObamaCare is illegal. This is the one issue folks that can almost make sure that any Republican Nominee wins over President Obama, the final decision by the US Supreme Court is expected in June, so about five months of Campaign on issue no matter the decision. Of course Governor Romney bought in RomneyCare for his own home state, and to his credit the Governor is not walking away from that idea, in fact he is making a virtue of it, stating that the Oval has over stepped the mark with its Federal Policy for the whole of the US, that it should be up to the individual State to decide how to look after the heath of its residents. As stated in this blog if the US Supreme Court did decide that ObamaCare was illegal, at least it would be off the table as an issue between June and November 2012, on the other and if the Court decides it legal, its more trouble, the Republicans will make it an issue very day, also with the US Supreme Court allowing Corporations to spend money on Campaign the business community could be a major thorn for the Obama Oval. This blog cant wait for next year folks, Iowa coming up soon folks.

Great Unwashed ARRESTED - NY

BBC News: Reports that 250 of the Occupy Wall Street protesters have been arrested. What has taken the NY Police so long, how come this blog has not seen any water cannons being used, or Police on horses taking down violent protesters. These people have gotten out of their BEDS because of the class warfare rhetoric of the Obama White House, the Democrats are using envy to make up for the fact that the Obama Administration has failed on the domestic front. The left wing media has given these commie protesters a clean bill of health, in fact in many respects they are being used by the elite, do you think rich liberals really want to give up THEIR money, that BS folks. The Democrats want a balance to the Tea Party movement, thus they support the occupy wall street thugs, this is a cynical Chicago move folks, the Obama Oval is fighting dirty, expect worse next year folks.

56% Job Disapproval for POTUS - Rasmussen Reports

Rasmussen Reports: Reports on its daily tracking poll of likely voters and their opinion of POTUS, today Obama has a 44% Approval, while 56% Disapprove of the Obama record. Lets look at what the main stream media is focusing at the moment folks, the occupy protests in the US and UK. The Democrats and the Labour Party have allowed themselves to be seen as supportive of these great unwashed demonstrators, in the UK so far no major violence, but that is not the case in the US. The class warfare rhetoric of the Oval and the Re-Election Committee has given the occupiers political legitimacy that they should not have, their rhetoric would not be out of place in Cuba, they don’t live in the real world, they belong to the left wing view that they are owed benefits from birth to death, they don’t have to work, the rich will make the money and then the rich will be forced to hard over what they have earned to a bunch of great unwashed mindless political zombies, who have no clear agenda, and if they did have would not get elected dog catcher. Time for the US and the UK to read the Riot Act, tell these idiots to clear off or they will get arrested, then if they don’t move send in the water cannons. Clear them off the street and arrest the ringleaders. Time to action not words, peaceful protest is one thing, being a pain in the backside is something else, get a move on Police.

40% Job Approval for POTUS - Gallup

Gallup: Reports on its daily tracking poll of the job performance of President Obama, today POTUS has a 40% Approval, while 51% of Average Americans Disapprove of the Obama record. As a wise political operative stated in 1992, it’s the “ Economy Stupid ”, and in 92 the economy was not that bad compared to the Obama years. The Chicago re-elect committee has to create the impression that if Obama is re-elected in 2012 the economy will turn around and if the Republicans are elected it will get worse. If unemployment is still around 9% in November 2012 the Oval will have to go negative, the election cant be allowed to be a referendum of the Obama record, thus the Obama re-elect will have to rubbish the Republican nominee, at the moment the Committee have a problem, they cant just attack Romney and spend the kind of money they have, the reason there a least two other viable Republican candidates in the shape of Herman Cain and former House Speaker, Newt Gingrich. Thus the Oval and the Democrats will have to wait in till at least February for clear candidate, then expect a ugly campaign folks, it’s the Chicago way.

Spain and the Bond Market

BBC News: Reports that 10 year Spanish bonds have reached their highest since 1997, today the cost to the Spanish Government was 6.975%. Thus folks after Greece, Italy the bond market has Spain in its sight, with high unemployment and debt and a new government expected the 10 year Spanish bond is close as the article notes to the danger zone of 7%. The New Government is from the right, thus tougher austerity is expected, the question that has to be asked folks will that be enough, or will Spain have to go cap in hand to the EU. The German Government has made it clear even with the odd trial balloon that the European Central Bank will not print money to bailout the PIIGS, thus expect more up and downs on the markets and mass protests in Greece and Italy when the further austerity hits the people on the street. Next year is going to be tough folks, in the UK it can be expected that unemployment will reach three million and the economy could fall back in to recession or very limited growth. Welcome back to the late 70s early 80s folks.
