53% Disapproval for POTUS

Rasmussen Reports: Has its latest daily tracking poll on President Obama, today Obama has a 53% Disapproval rating, while 46% of likely voters approve of the job performance of President Obama. The latest unemployment figures were a disaster for the Oval, the rate has gone up from 9.1% to 9.2%. If you include those in part time work and those in jobs well below their qualifications the rate of unemployment is between 16% -20%. The one silver lining for the Oval is that the Presidential Election is a year away, thus if Obama is going to change his economic polices this is the time. In 1984 Ronald Reagan had just below 7.3% unemployment but won with 59% of the vote, 49 States and 525 Electoral votes, but this was due to the perception that the US was in the boom years, this is not the perception in the US NOW, Obama has to become a Reagan Democrat or face being a Carter Democrat, the Oval does not have much time, does Obama want a second term, or cant he admit he was wrong.

Ex - First Lady Betty Ford has Died

BBC News: The wife of the late President Ford, Betty Ford died on Friday. Of course Mrs Ford gave her name to the Betty Ford Centre and supported her husband through his political career, in 1976 President Ford faced a challenge for the Republican nomination from then ex Governor Ronald Reagan. The Ford Campaign won the nomination but lost to Jimmy Carter in 1976. In 1980 Ronald Reagan wanted ex President Ford to be his running mate against Jimmy Carter, but in effect Ford asked for a Co- Presidency, this was a no go with the Reagan’s, the demand was on live TV. The modern Republican Party is more Reagan’s than Ford’s.

US Unemployment Rate = 9.2%

The New York Times: Reports that the US unemployment rate has gone up from 9.1% to 9.2%. The Obama re-election committee in Chicago must be dreading the rate going beyond 10% in 2012, the state of the US economy is down the dire Obama economic record, over spending, big liberal programme in ObamaCare, and the idea that you tax the rich and thus this will not affect the rich from investing or hiring people, yes some Harvard crap that Obama has not learned is rubbish. Obama = Carter, the Republicans need a Reagan to clean the mess of Obama.

Pakistan and North Korea

Guardian: Reports that Generals in the Pakistan Army received money for the illegal transfer of nuclear information technology to North Korea. This is the problem that faces the Obama Administration when it comes to Pakistan, from the ISA, the Intelligence network of Pakistan to the Army, they play both sides, are corrupt, and want to be on the winning side. Thus ISI is in bed with the Afghan Taliban, as they see the Taliban as a counter to India, they don’t see the regional problems in the same way as the West. The security structure is corrupt, by selling nuclear technology to North Korea the Pakistan Army has made North Korea nuclear armed power, and thus limited pressure can be placed on North Korea, when it is threatening the South. At the end of the day Pakistan is heading to be a failed State, the US should have forces ready to take over the nuclear arms of Pakistan, they can not be trusted.

Syria and the US

Telegraph: Reports that the Syrian Government has accused the Obama Administration of interfering in the developing crisis sin Syria, the US Ambassador has visited a opposition stronghold. The Assad Regime is diverting attention, trying to provoke the US, while suppressing its own people, the UK is press is in high morale anger against the Murdoch Empire, the Assad Regime could wipe out Cities and the left wing media would find a way to blame Mr Murdoch. That’s the real world folks.

The Hacking Scandal and David Cameron

BBC News: Reports on the defence by Coalition PM David Cameron of giving his former spin Doctor Andy Couslon a 2nd chance after resigning as the Editor of the News of the World over the hacking scandal. Folks lets be clear, those that broke the law at News of the World should face Court and Jail time, but lets also be clear, this is the real world, the left wing media are jumping with joy at the chance to attack the Murdoch Empire, but as David Cameron noted his spin Doctor didn’t start a war in Iraq, thus a punch at Tony Blair. A press inquiry in to the ethics of the press will go nowhere folks, all the newspapers have dirty they don’t want out, thus after the press attention from the hacking scandal has gone the press will go all defensive and argue that you cant have the State running what papers can and cant do, everything is political folks, that is the real world, it is reported that Mr Coulson is to be charged, lets see who else will face the Courts, will not be surprised it if is kept at the level of Editors, that’s the way the system works folks. Both Labour and the Tories will back seeking press support before the 2015 election, and all this horror stories will be fish and chip wrapping, sad but the truth.

Greece vs. Credit Agencies

Telegraph: Reports that Greece has attacked the credit agencies for marking down the credit level of Portugal to junk. The argument being from the Greeks is that by devaluing Portugal debt this will lead to the crisis that Europe wants to avoid, but the TRUTH is the TRUTH folks, Greece is bust, so is Portugal and Ireland. The Greeks will get a 2nd bailout, as posted yesterday Moody’s the credit agency has stated that Portugal will also need a second bailout, one only has to wonder when Ireland will have its hand out for 2nd bailout. Lets recall folks this money does not go to the Greek people, it goes to the banks of Germany and France, all the games by these Countries is short term break to make sure their banks are secure before Greece has to default. The more France and Germany play games the more the crash when it comes will hurt Europe. The people that will be shafted will be the people of Greece, Portugal and Ireland.
