Rats Leaving a Sinking Ship - NY Democrats

The New York Times: Reports that Democratic House Members as skipping the Democratic Convention that will make President Obama the Democratic Nominee for President, the article notes the following, " ..the reality that even in some pockets of a state as reliably blue as New York, Democrats do not see the president as a political asset. "

Lets Get Real:

The question this blog will ask would Republicans have done this Ronald Reagan, as President Obama is suppose to be the liberal Reagan, the answer is a big NO. One can assume beyond the agenda of the uber liberal press these Democratic politicians have their ears to the ground, and when it comes to it, would rather get elected no matter the impression it gives. Of course the State of New York is a safe Obama State, but these House members, the voters could split their votes, vote for POTUS but vote for a strong Republican House to restrain any liberal ideas Obama might have, that should worry Democrats across the US. As a great Democratic Speaker once stated, all politics is local, is the local telling the elite media something they do not want to hear.

Israeli Tensions - Iran Crisis

Guardian: Reports on tensions in the Israeli Government on a strike on Iran, Israeli PM Netanyahu, has in essence told Israeli President Shimon Peres to shut up, the Israeli President wants the US to help in any attack on Iran.

Lets Get Real:

The left wing elite media, that includes the Guardian in the UK, also the BBC and the Uber Liberal New York Times will never support an attack on Tehran, the equate Israel with Iran, they seem to forget that Israel is a democracy and a close ally of the West. Thus expect more of these stories, they liberal elite main stream media will look for any discord within Israel, they will try to create and define public opinion against any Israeli strike. Lets see who wins this argument folks, lets hope its the RIGHT side.

Israel vs. Iran - Iran Crisis

Telegraph: Reports on the prospects of a Israeli strike on Iran, the article states the following, " the option of destroying Iran’s nuclear facilities with a series of air strikes is being considered more seriously than ever before. "

Lets Get Real:

This conflict is coming folks, don't think its not, the Israeli Government does not trust President Obama, they are worried that he will appease Tehran should he get a 2nd term. Thus one can postulate that in October or early November Israel will strike Iran with a few hours warning to the Oval. The Israeli Government has form of hitting threats without telling the Oval, this was done to Reagan in 1981 and to Bush 43 in 2007. At least these leaders were seen as close allies to Israel, the came can not be said of President Obama, thus Israel has nothing to lose in such a strike, the US would have to support, even follow up with a strike to keep Tehran from hitting US Naval bases in the region or starting a regional War with Israel. The clock is ticking folks, its a lot closer to War than you think.

A Problem like a Biden - VP Biden

The Hill: Reports that the Obama White House has stated that it is keeping VP Biden on the ticket.

Lets Get Real:

If this blog was VP Biden it would be worried, the White House might say it is keeping Biden, that does not mean that Biden will be told off the record that he should tell the POTUS that he wants to spend more time with his family. If POTUS at the Democratic Convention places Clinton on the ticket he will get re-elected, okay he would be powerless but he would get a 2nd term. If Hillary Clinton was VP the Clinton team would not allow Obama to do anything that would damage a Hillary run in 2016. If the Polls go South on Obama he might have no choice but to place Hillary on the ticket, that is art of politics folks.

Obama MORE Government Spending - Obama/Biden Advert

Lets Get Real:

This is without doubt the worse policy advert the Obama team have done, its message is simple, somehow Government spending is good, while building a business up from the ground is wrong, even if you have to borrow money from your relatives. The Chicago Team need to do a lot better than this if they want POTUS to get a 2nd term. It could be that Team Obama when it has to deal with REAL policy issues do not have a clue, a clueless team lead by a clueless POTUS and VP.

Medicare vs. ObamaCare - Romney/Ryan Advert

Lets Get Real:

At last the Romney/Ryan Campaign is hitting POTUS were its hurts, with older voters. The advert points that Medicare is being gutted to fund ObamaCare. The fact that ObamaCare is still not popular hurts the Democrats. The Democrats were celebrating the choice of Rep. Paul Ryan as Romney's VP choice, but the problem is in attacking Ryan the Obama team had to move on to REAL issues, not Romney's private business record or his taxes, but issues that effect older Americans, and they vote unlike younger voters. Thus good week for the Republicans, also VP Biden just keeps on giving, his remarks to an audience that was half African - American that the Republican ticket would put the people back in to chains was a new low even for Democrats. There was no need for Biden to put on a Southern accent, it was cheap shot and placed the Democrats on the back foot, POTUS might like Biden but he should consider placing Secretary Clinton on the ticket, that would be a hard ticket to beat.

Greece and the EU

Guardian Live - Greece: Reports in its 11.44am post that the Greek PM Antonis Samaras " is expected to present his case for Greece's financial programme to be relaxed next Friday, August 24, to Angela Merkel in Berlin ".

Lets Get Real.

There is an old saying folks, beware of Greeks bearing gifts, if I was Chancellor Merkel I would keep my purse close, the Greeks are after German Euros again. The Germans have to be firm, they have to say NO, if the French and the IMF want to bailout the Greeks, that is great, one can guess that the French taxpayer wont mind throwing their tax Euros down the Greek toilet, just to keep the EU happy, also the Countries that give to the IMF will be pleased that this another Greek bailout. Lets see folks.
