Liberal NYT vs. Obama

The New York Times: In the liberal NYT, Maureen Dowd states the following on the political hole that POTUS now finds himself in, “ Covering a humorous W. ( Bush 43 at the White House ).. the White House press actually seemed nostalgic for the president…a sure sign that the Obama magic is flagging. ”.

Lets Get Real:

It could be folks that the uber liberal NYT has smelled the coffee when it comes to President Obama, they might think he might lose in November, the liberal press will cover for Obama, but they wont be flushed down the toilet with him. If by November it looks like Obama is toast expect the elite liberal media to take Obama apart, they will argue he was not liberal enough, that he didn't spend more tax money on government projects. That he was to much of a hawk on National Security. That Obama failed to be a Liberal Reagan. Its still long fight folks, a few months in politics is a lifetime. Lets see if POTUS can capture the spirit of his 2008 Campaign, not over till its over folks.

Obama's Executive Action - Part Two

Guardian: Reports on how the Obama Oval defines those that are to be killed by drones, the articles notes the following, " defines a militant as any military-age male in the strike zone when its drone attacks. ".

Lets Get Real:

This blog does not have a problem with the use of drones as a form of assassination, its clean and effective, no troops on the ground, thus no US or UK Armed Forces Personnel getting killed. On the other hand Obama's hiking of drone use makes Bush 43 look like a liberal. While the Bush Oval used torture on terrorists they didn't kill them, also got good information out of them and threw them in to jail and threw away the key, also a good move. The leak of the fact that POTUS himself has the final say on those that are killed is a mistake, there have been cases were innocent people have been killed. One can assume that the Nobel Prize Committee has a letter in the post asking for their price back and the money. The uberal liberal forget that President Obama is a Chicago Pol, they are bloody ruthless in many ways, Obama has upgraded the drone strikes because he is afraid that if he didn't and something happened he would get the blame. Thus folks your asking what is the solution, Pakistan has showed its not a ally of the US, the badlands of the Pakistan and Afghan border has major terrorists havens, the Oval has no choice if it wants out of Afghanistan by 2014 but to carry on with these strikes, context means that Obama is doing the right thing, its ruthless and bloody folks, the NATO allies want out of Afghanistan, thus in this case the President should get support from the right and cover. Sooner or later the left will really turn on him, one can see the day that the issue will be before the US Supreme Court. Lets hope the Court supports Obama's kill list.

Afghanistan Front News

MOD: Has announced the name of the UK Soldier that was killed on Friday in Afghanistan, the Soldier was " Corporal Michael John Thacker, from 1st Battalion The Royal Welsh ". Our thoughts are with the family of Corporal Thacker.

47% Job Disapproval for POTUS - Gallup

Gallup: Reports on its daily tracking poll on the job performance of President Obama, today POTUS has a 45% Approval rating, while 47% of US Adults Disapprove of the Obama record.

Lets Get Real:

This is interesting folks as in my recent post on the match polls of the race between Obama and Romney had POTUS on 45%. Thus three polls, likely, registered and adults shows POTUS on 45%. It can be argued today, that if the election was today that Governor Romney would win, but its not today folks. These polls should be seen as snapshot of the Campaign, the polls should get worse for POTUS over the next few days due to bad unemployment report today, the hope for the Oval must be that the bad reports over the last two months are not a trend. Its long way to November folks, more ups downs to report on this race.

Obama vs. Romney - 2012 Match Up

Its that time of the weekend folks, the political polls and the 2012 Presidential Race.

Gallup ( Registered Voters ): In today's daily tracking poll Governor Romney leads President Obama by 46% to 45%.

Rasmussen Reports ( Likely Voters ): In today's tracking poll Governor Romney leads President Obama by 46% to 45%.

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks an exact tie between likely and registered voters, neither candidate has define the other at this point. The Obama attack on Romney's business record does not seem to have hit its target. While the Romney Campaign thus far has failed to define Obama as a tax and spend liberal. The news today that only sixty nine thousands jobs were created in May in the US and that the Unemployment rate has gone up from 8.1% to 8.2% should take a few days to work through to the polls. If the US unemployment rate moves up and not down over the next few months then Obama will not get re-elected. Thus expect the Chicago Re-Elect Committee to be even more nasty, expect the worse of Chicago politics. If and its a BIG if ObamaCare is struck down the Chicago Committee wont have a domestic record to run, on the other hand if it is struck down by the US Supreme Court it will remove a a major negative that POTUS has to defend. Also if ObamaCare is declared illegal it might allow Obama to fire up his base to get out to vote in November, another attempt to get health care reform passed. Thus June is a major month for both the Oval and Romney, lets see what the Supremes decide, they might decide the November Election.
