Is Obama the NEW Neville Chamberlain ? - 2nd Term Blues

BBC News: The following article has this piece on Chamberlain, " Churchill characterised Chamberlain as "an upright, competent, well meaning man" fatally handicapped by a deluded self-confidence which compounded an already debilitating lack of both vision and diplomatic experience. ".

Lets Get Real:

Lets give President Obama the benefit of the doubt that he is a well meaning man, but that benefit of the doubt should be taken in context of a President who takes the Nobel Prize for doing nothing, and does not have the grace to give it back, honour is selective in the Obama White House, in one of the debates with Governor Romney, POTUS was smug in stating that he was getting used to his new health law being called ObamaCare, yes folks the guy is egotist of the first order.  Lets come to the Obama foreign policy, or better still, his surrender in FP, he allowed the US to get pushed out of Iraq, thus allowing Iran the ability to have air space to give weapons to Assad of Syria, he marched the US military up the Hill for action, then decided he did not have the bottle for action, and decided to cut his Secretary of State off at the knees by appeasing Syria, Russia, NOW he is doing the bidding of Iran, there is only once choice that THE Oval faces, does the US allow Iran to become a nuclear armed power, if the answer is NO, the US should be attacking Iran not taking its game playing calls.  Then the Oval has told the Taliban of Afghanistan that the West is leaving in 2014, if your clever Afghan your on the last plane out, its not in the interest of the Taliban to talk to the Oval, they want to be seen as winning over the US, after USSR was thrown out of Afghanistan at the end of the 80s.   Being a well meaning man does NOT cut it in Foreign Policy folks, it never has, thus Obama is the NEW Chamberlain. 

Latest Obama Poll Dive - 2nd Term Blues

Gallup: Reports on its latest job approval poll for President Obama, today POTUS has a " 44% Approval rating, while 49% of Americans Disapprove of job performance of President Obama in the Oval. ".

Lets Get Real:

This blog does wonder why the Establishment Republicans in Washington D.C are so afraid of taking Obama on, he is no Reagan or Clinton when it comes to the day by day politics that makes D.C work.  In the 1990s the US Government shut down, the Republican did not lose the House, and in 2000 Bush 43 won, as long as Republicans make the issue ObamaCare they can WIN, they should approve resolutions that fund everything else in the Government but not that, IF the Oval wants to close down the Government over his ego, so be it, but the Republicans should keep it closed down, one doubts Obama will find it fun not being able to take Air Force One to play golf, stuck in D.C, powerless, the Government will be SHUT DOWN, having to get his own coffee, you get the idea folks, the Oval likes the perks of the Oval, what if there are no perks, YES folks, the Republicans should take this fight, NO BIG GOVERNMENT and the US does not fall apart, that hurts the Democrats.   Fight Republicans, Obama can share a cab with the Speaker to go around D.C,. that should make them talk, politics is ruthless folks, sometimes you have to get in to the political trenches, then you throw the opposition off its heels, NO Air Force One, No Marine One, No White House staff, No communication staff to help with the speeches, how long do you think Obama would last before giving on a 1 year delay on ObamaCare. 

Israel on Obama's Appeasement of Iran

Guardian: Reports the following from Israel, " The peace overtures in New York have not been echoed in Tel Aviv, where the mood is one of isolation and gloom  ".

Lets Get Real:

Folks, in the past the Israeli Government could count on the US Administrations to come to its defence if the balloon went up, if your IN Israel tonight can you you really swear that the Oval would come to the support of Israel if it was really under threat, the disaster that has been the Syrian policy shows that the Oval does not have the bottle for ACTION, thus folks the Israeli Elite has to make its mind up that it has to in the defence of Israel take action against Iran outside of support from the US.   Once the military action is taken the Hill will support Israel, no matter the view point of the Oval, the Israeli Government should even consider the use of low level nuclear bombs to close down the nuclear threat from Iran, it can not wait for Iran to go nuclear, the US is going down a isolation road, this not new as mentioned in this blog, its not the power it was once, you can not be with a 17 trillion debt and the Democrats wanting to make the US a welfare state like Europe.  It is time for Israel to recall what the road of Appeasement did to the Jews during World War 2, millions of men, women and children killed, NEVER AGAIN, folks, time to defend Israel folks. 

Obama's FAILURE in Syria - Appeasement in Syria

BBC News: Reports the UN Security Council Resolution on Syria agreed by Russia and the US will not have a trigger for military action should Syria failed to follow through with its agreement to get rid of its WMD. 

Lets Get Real:

Thus folks, Russia, Syria and Iran has won, IF you really think Syria is going to give up its WMD is a middle of life or death Civil War you are a FOOL, AND must work in the Oval Office.   The Russians, Syrians and Iran are playing Obama, they are telling him what HE wants to hear, the question is WHO is telling the Oval the facts of the real world.   As stated in previous post folks, the Government in Israel can NOT TRUST the Oval, it has supporters on the Hill, thus Israeli should play the Obama game, tell him what he wants to hear and then strike Iran, the Oval will be blocked from taking any sanctions against Israel by the Hill, Israeli supporters on the Hill can not afford to go annoy the Israeli lobby in the US, some things even Democrats will not do for Obama.   Weakness folks, so sad, and the end results is known, history is never learned folks, just repeated. 

Obama on US and Iran Relationship

The White House: Reports on the following from President Obama on Iran, " Just now, I spoke on the phone with President Rouhani of the Islamic Republic of Iran.  The two of us discussed our ongoing efforts to reach an agreement over Iran’s nuclear program.  I reiterated to President Rouhani what I said in New York -- while there will surely be important obstacles to moving forward, and success is by no means guaranteed, I believe we can reach a comprehensive solution. 

I’ve directed Secretary Kerry to continue pursuing this diplomatic effort with the Iranian government.  We had constructive discussions yesterday in New York with our partners -- the European Union, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia and China -- together with the Iranian Foreign Minister.  Going forward, President Rouhani and I have directed our teams to continue working expeditiously, in cooperation with the P5-plus-1, to pursue an agreement.  And throughout this process, we’ll stay in close touch with our friends and allies in the region, including Israel. 

We’re mindful of all the challenges ahead.  The very fact that this was the first communication between an American and Iranian President since 1979 underscores the deep mistrust between our countries, but it also indicates the prospect of moving beyond that difficult history. 

I do believe that there is a basis for a resolution.  Iran’s Supreme Leader has issued a fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons.  President Rouhani has indicated that Iran will never develop nuclear weapons.  I have made clear that we respect the right of the Iranian people to access peaceful nuclear energy in the context of Iran meeting its obligations.  So the test will be meaningful, transparent, and verifiable actions, which can also bring relief from the comprehensive international sanctions that are currently in place.  

Resolving this issue, obviously, could also serve as a major step forward in a new relationship between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran -- one based on mutual interests and mutual respect.  It would also help facilitate a better relationship between Iran and the international community, as well as others in the region -- one that would help the Iranian people fulfill their extraordinary potential, but also help us to address other concerns that could bring greater peace and stability to the Middle East. 

A path to a meaningful agreement will be difficult, and at this point, both sides have significant concerns that will have to be overcome.  But I believe we’ve got a responsibility to pursue diplomacy, and that we have a unique opportunity to make progress with the new leadership in Tehran.  I also communicated to President Rouhani my deep respect for the Iranian people.  ".

Lets Get Real:

Folks, this blog does not what to say, this is the problem when the US elects a President whose ego does not match his skills, Obama does not wish to see the reality of the Middle East, the Tehran Regime is playing him, its easy to do, in Obama we see the modern Neville Chamberlain, another politician who thought he knew better than every one else on how to deal with the problems of the World Stage.   Lets hope the Israeli Mossad is on the ball in Iran, lets hope it tells its leaders when Iran is on the edge of becoming a nuclear armed power, then Israel will have to act, it will have to play Obama, tell him what he wants to hear then strike Iran.   The security of Israel can not be trusted to President Obama, one would have thought he would have grown in office, in fact he has become a extreme dove, the West has three and half years of weakness folks, then the US will elect another Ronald Reagan or Bush 43, there is always a reaction to weakness folks, its the way the World works, for good or ill, lets hope the Republicans pick another Reagan. 

Obama's DIVE in the POLLS - 2nd Term Blues

CNN - Politics: Reports the following on President Obama's job approval polls, " The president's approval rating stands at 45%, according to a CNN average of four national polls conducted over the past week and a half. And a CNN Poll of Polls compiled and released Thursday also indicates that Obama's disapproval rating at 49%. ".

Lets Get Real:

Folks sooner or later, every US 2nd term President finds that he losses support on the Hill, either through scandal OR just the political cycle, in many respects a 2nd term President is a lame duck the moment he wins, the less power a Oval has is directed by his poll numbers, as noted my morning tweet, a CBS/NYT poll had POTUS on a 43% Approval rating, the US economy has not returned to its 2008 level, there are millions of Americans who have given up looking for a job, thus they are not counted in those seeking a job, thus the unemployment rate is low, not due to people getting hired but because people have fallen in to thinking what is the point, also with ObamaCare if you hire a person for under 30 hours do not have to give them healthcare, thus many working class and graduates find themselves doing part time jobs or jobs that do not require a degree.   On the international stage Obama has had to deal with the Snowden scandal and that disaster that is the US policy over Syria, in many respects 2nd term Presidents have more freedom on the World Stage than at home, Obama has failed to get that fact, he makes demands of Congress as if he is back in early 2009, well folks the political train has moved, there are the 2014 Mid Terms coming up, the Democrats will not get the House back, but they have to fight to keep the Senate, and then we have 2016, every 2nd term President finds at the end if he ran naked around the White House the press would not be interested, there is Iowa in 2016 then comes NH, then the Primary debates and then we have the general.   That is the thing about democracy folks, it moves on, new leaders and issues, thank goodness for democracy folks. 

ObamaCare Part 2 - 2nd Term Blues

Guardian: Reports the following on the fight between Obama's White House and the US House, "  Obama stands firm on healthcare in face of escalating Republican stand-off.....GOP outlines demands for host of political concessions amid twin threats over US debt ceiling and Affordable Care Act ".

Lets Get Real:

The Republicans in the House and Senate have to stand firm on the debt ceiling, not allow their leaders to roll over, the Republicans should not shut down the Government, this blog does not think it would be a political disaster that the elite media is throwing out every time, when you look at the results of the last shut downs in the 90s, the Republicans did not lose the House and in 2000 Bush 43 won the Presidency.   If you remove the threat of a shut down the job of the Oval is to manage the debt of the US, thus if the Oval wants to spend more it needs to raise the debt ceiling, well the Republicans should make the Oval pay, the price being a delay for 1 year in ObamaCare.   The elite establishment will argue that the US will lose its credit rating, what does having a 17 trillion debt do the long term credit rating of the US, the welfare state of the US is killing the US dream, it does not work in such a vast Country as the US, the US is not Belgium, a European welfare state does not work when you have a population of over three hundred million and growing.  To save the US the Republicans have to stand together, delay ObamaCare.
