Obama vs McCain, McCain WINS

The New York Times: Reports on the TV ratings for the Conventions, and McCain's speech beat that of Obama's and Palin's. One can see the faces of the Editors of the Liberal New York Times, they will be aghast!! What Fun!!.

A Chance ?

New York Post: A article by Dick Morris, looks at how the Palin pick for VP has give the McCain and the Republicans a second chance in November. If McCain does win, he has to thank Sarah Palin, the loathing of the Republicans by the elite media showed, with there attack on Governor Palin, her gutsy speech made her the star and made the elite media look like fools.

The War Within by Bob Woodward

Fox News: Reports on the new book by Bob Woodward, The War Within, the President is seen by Woodward has having aged in Office due to the Wars. I think this is more a LBJ complex that a generation of reporters have, as Bush is low in the Polls, they want to Bush in the role of LBJ, tired, worn out, wanting to get out. The impression of the President that most appeals to Liberal Media. On the other hand the book does state as the article points out that Iraq Surge has worked, and McCain is seen as a truth teller when it comes to the Bush Presidency. Have got my order in for the book, cant wait to read it, have read all the Woodward books on Bush, this one should be the final one on the Bush Presidency while Bush is President. Will Obama give Woodward the same access, have my doubts, Woodward will miss Bush.

Obama on Iraq

Fox News: Reports that Senator Obama has granted an interview to Bill O’Reilly of Fox News, the Senator has stated that the surge has worked in Iraq. As this was the policy favoured by Senator McCain, it shows leadership and courage by McCain. Obama has finally shown that he can see the reality in Iraq. Also one has to state that Obama has show courage by a) stating this about Iraq, the left wing of the Democratic Party will not be happy, and B) by doing an interview with Mr O' Reilly.

Update: Obama with Mr O' Reilly was weak, he cant handle hard interviews, this is down to the elite media, they don't give him hard questions, thus when he has to deal with hard questions he blows it big time, he would not admit he was wrong about the surge, its the elitist in him, if he was wrong about such an important policy he would have to question his other policy view points. As an elitist myself I can smell arrogance a mile away, its the arrogance of the Intellectual, does not matter what the truth is, the truth is what I want it to be, does not matter if the fact are counter, will simple keep my own position. The difference between VIEWS and the Senator is a matter of being self aware, is the Senator self aware or does he think his press statements are the universal truth. If Obama does become President, one has to hope that he grows in Office or the West will have Jimmy Carter Mark 11.

Tied Race

CBS News: Reports on a new Poll that finds the race between Obama and McCain tied at 42%. If Obama cant get a bigger lead in the polls he will lose the election, a narrow margin and one has to take in to consideration those that lie to pollsters. As New Hampshire showed when Obama had a double digit lead, he lost by few points. This will be a very close race, it is not a given that Obama will win, what ever the elite media might think of the race.

Another Thatcher ?

Telegraph: Reports that Sarah Palin, the VP to McCain is a STAR, her speech could make her the next Thatcher and Reagan. Lets hold on that Crown, Thatcher and Reagan had the gift of communication but it was based on a a true understanding of the voters, how at the end of the day, people want to be free and for the country to be lead by a strong leader, Governor Pailn has a long road to be another Thatcher or Reagan.

Death in Afghanistan

BBC News: Reports that another Soldier has been killed in Iraq. The total losses of UK Military Personnel now stands at 117, this will not be the last death in Afghanistan, the country since the time of Alexander of Great has seen the death of hope of many Armies, some noble some not, we are the noble country in search of peace in Afghanistan.
