Obama Gift to the Republicans - 2012 Race

The Washington Post: Has the following review of President Obama's remarks that the private sector was doing fine, " It would be hard to imagine a greater gift than the sound bite that Barack Obama handed to Republicans on Friday.. ".

Lets Get Real:

One has to ask does President Obama want to win the election in November or has he deep in his heart given up, POTUS is a clever politician, you don't come out of nowhere to win the Oval without having some political smarts. The President is starting to make as many political mistakes as VP Biden, he allowed his VP to force him to come out in support of gay marriage well before the Oval was ready, now he has stated that the private sector is fine, he latest TV advert is more concerned with creating public sector jobs, not jobs in the private sector. Once the US voter thinks a POTUS is out of touch he is heading to lose an election, thus the case with Hoover, Carter and Bush 41. The President can not afford to many BAD WEEKS, any more and Democrats running for political office will decide its in their interest not to have Obama campaign with them, its that serious folks. The Obama Oval needs to revise its election plan, all this class warfare and tax hikes statements might work with the uber liberal NYT, it is not going down well with the US voter. Either Obama wants to win or he will join a very small club, one term Presidents who didn't get re-elected, that is the stark choice folks.

Euro Won = Spanish PM

BBC News: Reports that the Spanish PM Mariano Rajoy has stated that the Euro has won due the EU giving Spain a bank bailout of 100 billion euros ( £80 billion pounds ).

Lets Get Real:

The problem with the deal folks is that it will send the Greeks up the wall, the deal is austerity light, there are no demands for austerity, this is due to the fact that the new Conservative Government in Spain has followed a tough austerity plan since coming in to office. The Unemployment in Spain stands at 24%, there is a lot of youth unemployment, the property bust has taken Spain to the toilet. The lack of demands for austerity with the deal with Spain will make Greek voters ask why they should suffer with their Country in effect being run by the EU, while Spain gets a soft bailout. This could be the nail in the coffin folks of those Greek Parties that support the previous austerity deal agreed by the last Greek Coalition Government. This deal could cause as much problems as it solves. Nothing is free folks.

Worse Obama TV Ad YET!

Lets Get Real:

This is without doubt one of the worse political adverts this blog has even seen, it has to be seen a few times, just to see how bad it is, the President is still blaming Bush 43 for the present economic crisis, he wants to spend on the public sector, that's why POTUS thinks the private sector is fine. This new spending would come from taxing the rich, tell Bill Clinton that is a good idea. If this is the best that the Oval can come up with then the Oval is in BIG TROUBLE. Even this blog could produce a better advert in favour of POTUS without his Hollywood millions. Very poor Chicago Re- Elect Committee.

Obama 's Bush 41 moment - 2012 Race

Lets Get Real:

This remark by President Obama that the private sector is doing fine will come back to haunt him, its very much like Bush 41 saying No New Taxes, sounds good at the time, but if that promise is broken then the voters think a POTUS is out of touch. The Romney Campaign is going in hard and negative, that is how they won the Republican Nomination. They are going to define Obama as a liberal elitist who is out of touch with voters. If they can paint this picture then Obama is toast in November. Lets see what the Obama Oval comes up with to counter this attack.

Spanish CREDIT Downgraded - Fitch

Guardian: Reports that the Fitch Credit Agency has downgraded Spain’s credit rating, to just above junk status, the article notes the following, “ moved the eurozone's fourth-biggest economy a step closer to an international financial bailout. ”.

Lets Get Real:

The Spanish Government should swallow its pride and ask for an immediate loan folks, it is reported over the last few days that Spain might need three hundred billion euros, one of the biggest bailouts ever, well if its going to happen then Spain should ask before it is to late. If Spain takes the Euro down with it the entire EU could be at risk. GROW UP SPAIN, get your begging bowl out, and be quick about it, we have no time for ego, only rich people with money can have a ego, and Spain your broke.

100 Billion Euros AND Spanish Banks

Telegraph: Reports that the Fitch credit agency has predicted that it could cost a hundred billion euros to bailout the Spanish Banks.

Lets Get Real:

It has surprised this blog that the Stock Markets have gone up over the last few days, they seem to jump to positive dream land at the slightest rumour that Germany is going to agree to Euro Bonds, the Germans are not going to folks. The German Coalition Government is making it clear that even before Germany is willing to think about Euro Bonds it wants political union in the EU. The German version of Union is for Berlin to tell the rest of EU how to run its budgets. Lets see what the poor people of the EU think of that move, this is without doubt the worse idea since Captain Smith thought it was a good idea to raise speed going through a ice field. The EU Elite have always wanted a Federal EU, the one way to destroy the EU is to push for Berlin to control the EU. Lets see how French and other EU voters think of that idea. The idea that Berlin should control the economy of Western Europe was an objective if Germany had won World War One. Yes folks its that bad idea. Also it seems that Greece has gone off the radar, lets recall they have their 2nd General Election on June 17th, also French voters go to the polls in their Parliamentary elections. Lets see if the left can also take the Parliament in France or if the right combine to thwart that idea, it is said that we get the leaders we deserve, Europe must have a weak gene pool.

Obama and the 2012 Presidential Race

The New York Times: Report the following on its projection should the US election be held today, the articles states the following, “ The first look at the 2012 FiveThirtyEight presidential forecast has Barack Obama as a very slight favorite to win re-election. ”

Lets Get Real:

A very interesting article folks from the uber liberal NYT, it looks at national, state polls and economic factors. Also as noted in my posts the Chicago Re-Elect must be happy that President Obama is around the 45% mark when it comes to likely, registered and adult voters. It is not as if POTUS is in the low 30's%, so there is still a chance that US conservatives will have to get over the fact that POTUS will get a 2nd term. What might happen folks is that the US voter will re-elect Obama but pack the the House and Senate with Republicans, in other words nothing gets done and ObamaCare would be attacked every year by the Republicans. But as noted by better experts than this blog its a mistake to project the US Election from June, very rarely do the polls get it right, this long way to go folks.
