The Republican Senate and the Oval Office

The New York Times: Reports " Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who is likely to lead the new Republican majority in the Senate next year, on Wednesday vowed a spirit of cooperation and compromise.. "

Lets Get Real:

The above are soothing words, the kind of words that the liberal NYT likes to hear,  the actual reality will be different, the Senate and the Republican House will start to make life HELL for the Obama Administration, so far the Oval has been protected by having a Democratic Senate, NOW the game has changed, as noted in my previous post the Republicans will drag members of the Obama Administration past and present before the Republican Senate to investigate scandals over the past six years.   The election of the Republican Senate means that the US voter has made it clear that they are VERY unhappy with the Oval Office.   Lets see what POTUS does, can he make deals, can he rent votes in the US Senate as President Reagan did in his time with a Democratic House.   The next two years are going to be tough for President Obama. 

The US Mid Term Election Results - 2nd Obama Term

CNN - Politics: Reports on the Mid Term Election results, the Republicans keep the House as expected and take the Senate with 7 picks up, the article notes the following, " A Republican tide ripped the Senate away from Democrats Tuesday, giving the GOP full control of Congress and the power to pin down President Barack Obama during his last two years in office. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the Republicans can start to place real pressure on the Oval Office, expect the Senate to have a joint investigation with the House when it comes to the scandals of the 2nd Obama term, the first scandal will be the deaths of the US Ambassador in LIbya in 2012, a few weeks before the Presidential Election.   Then there will be the domestic scandals, the use of the NSA to spy on Americans, the failure of ObamaCare and its results.   That should keep the Republicans busy, also Obama will have to work with the Senate to get his Government posts filled and his picks for the Federal bench.  Its a good to be a Republican 

The End of the Obama Era and the 2014 Mid Terms

Telegraph: Reports " Barack Obama in political quarantine as campaign draws to a close..The President is having a fittingly subdued end to a subdued campaign season, cloistered in the White House with his advisors "

Lets Get Real:

IF the Republicans take the Senate the Oval could use Foreign Affairs to make sure he is till in the game, the Oval could try in its last two years to help create a Palestinian State, one that  Israel can live with, if not happy at least not opposed.  Then we come to the bad boys of International politics and not in a good way, Iran and North Korea, the Oval could try to get a deal that allows Iran to have civil nuclear power but not become a nuclear military power, on the other hand when it comes to North Korea the game is to get them to give up their nuclear material and bombs.    The above problems are hard to solve, but given two years the Oval could have a chance to try and get something from his 2nd term.    THIS BLOG is not holding its breath for a good result, but talk is better than war at the present. 

IS Update - War on Terror 2

Guardian: Reports " Isis fighters capture second Syrian gas field in a week..Hardline Sunni group posts photos on social media showing Islamic State flag raised in Jahar gas field in Homs "

Lets Get Real:

The more money that IS can get the more it is a threat, it has followers but it can also pay for terrorist hit abroad, the IS structure as shown on CNN is to play their PR to children, they are following the Soviet model, feed them a false distorted view of Islam and then develop them as future fighters.   IS is a cancer on the Islamic faith, it needs to be removed before its warped ideology becomes the norm in the Middle East.  After the 2014 Mid Terms the West has to take action in Syria and Iraq, this means not just more bombing, it means actual ground troops, this is the only way to defeat IS. 

Mid Terms 2014 on POTUS

The Hill: Reports " Republicans get what they want: A midterm election about Obama "

Lets Get Real:

If Obama's loses the Senate on Tuesday he will have to decide how he is going to run out the clock on his Presidency , does he work with Republicans on agreed issues, or does go extreme left and and use the powers of the Presidency to go around the Congress.  In 1986 before Iran - Contra broke Reagan lost the Senate, in that last two years he got tax reform and the passing of INF Treaty with Russia.   Thus POTUS does not have to be a lame duck President, if the Oval chooses to give a green card to millions of illegal immigrants then he could face trouble in the House and the Senate, there have been some wild calls to Impeach the Oval, if it goes down this route  those calls would more and less wild, thus what of relationship does Obama want with Congress is up to him.

IS update - War on Terror 2

BBC News: Reports " Islamic State 'kills 322' from single Sunni tribe

Lets Get Real:

There is NO talking to IS, there can NEVER be any talks, you can not appease these kind of low lifes, its either them or us, so lets take the battle to IS, lets bomb them and use UK/US Special Forces to either capture or kill them, IS down to its roots have to be destroyed.  IF IS is allowed to grow any more you can say goodbye to Syria and Iraq, they will no longer exist, thus back to the same argument, the West needs to place ground troops in Iraq and Syria, to roll back IS and make life safe for the good people of Iraq and Syria.   The more people fall under the influence of IS and the more money they have the harder they will be to destroyed.  Time to hit Syria and Iraq with a fist of steel, but remembering to learn the mistakes of the Iraq War, you need the manpower but also need the support of the local people, make the West their best hope for peace and a good life.  TIME TO ACT.
