The Politics of Tuition Fees - Nick Clegg

Telegraph: Reports that the DPM Nick Clegg regrets opposing tuition fees while in Opposition. That is the problem for the Liberal Democrats, since 1922 with the exception of WW2 and the National Government of the 1930s the Liberals have not had to deal with real politics, they could jump on any popular opposition course while knowing they didn’t have to govern, NOW its is different, they are part of a Coalition Government, their words have consequences, thus this should be lesson to Ed Miliband the new Labour Leader, while in Opposition be careful what you oppose it might come back to hit you on the backside should you return to Government. The students of today will have to follow the US model, they will have work, no longer a free handout from the Government, if they want to blame anyone look at Labour, they left no money behind.

Obama on Jerusalem Building

President Obama has stated the following on the new building in Jerusalem, “ ..But this kind of activity is never helpful when it comes to peace negotiations. And I’m concerned that we’re not seeing each side made the extra effort involved to get a breakthrough that could finally create a framework for a secure Israel living side and side -- side by side in peace with a sovereign Palestine. We’re going to keep on working on it, though, because it is in the world’s interest, it is in the interest of the people of Israel, and it is in the interest of the Palestinian people to achieve that settlement, to achieve that agreement. But each of these incremental steps can end up breaking down trust between the parties. ”. At the end of the day the Middle East will only be solved when those in the Middle East want peace, its not for a Harvard Lawyer with no international political experience to force the sides or throw a close ally in the shape of Israel to the wolves so he looks good the liberal New York Times and the UK Guardian. If Obama does try to force Israel to make concessions then Obama will be a one term President, also as stated many a time the US Congress both Democrats and Republicans will support Israel, the only real Democracy in the region. In many respects Obama is turning in to Carter 11, who will be Reagan 11, that is the question folks.

Jerusalem Building and the Middle East Peace Process

The New York Times: Reports on new building in the Capital of Israel Jerusalem, the US is has been critical of the move by Israel. The Obama Administration on this occasion can be ignored by Israel, the old and new Congress will always support Israel over any sanction placed by President Obama. The 2010 Mid Term Elections have consequences on the domestic and international front, any sanction move by Obama will be overturned by the Congress, on this issue both Republicans and Democrats are united in their support of Israel. Thus should POTUS try to place pressure on Israel the Israeli’s will go to Congress and get support for nearly any action, even bombing Iran, in fact the Republican Congress that takes over in January would give Israel a Medal if they bomb Iran. As a President once said, “ Elections have Consequences ” wonder which President stated that, YES it was President Obama.
