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. 

A Republican Senate ? - Mid Terms 2014

CNN - Politics: Reports " But the best the GOP can hope for is a slim majority, which would do little to end the era of gridlock and partisan division that has stifled Washington for years.. "

Lets Get Real:

The Republicans only need 51 votes in the Senate, and they can make sure that NONE of Obama picks to the Federal Bench go through, they can make sure that the Oval Office can not make recess picks by keeping the Senate in session.   The Obama agenda is dead on the Hill anyway, this would confirm Obama in the domestic field would be a lame duck President.   Interesting the article does not state that the Democrats if they keep the Senate by one or two seats will be in the same position as the Republicans, the difference is that Obama would get his judges through, it will be long Tuesday night, a lot of close calls. 

Terrorism and the 2014 Mid Terms - War on Terror 2

Telegraph: Reports " Midterm elections: Fear of terrorism once against haunts American politics..Republicans in New Hampshire and across the US gain ground as voters lose confidence in Barack Obama's handling of the Islamic State "

Lets Get Real:

The 2nd Obama term will have two words that define it, Iraq and Syria, the US it has been predicted will be bombing IS in Iraq and Syria for YEARS, that means that through the 2016 Presidential race the WARS in the Middle East will be front and centre.   It is a given in US politics that when it comes to national security the Republicans win, for a while President Obama turned that around with the death of OBL and the spin that Al Qaeda was dead and buried, then he bottled Syria, and did not see the rise of IS.    It has been argued by the military experts that Iraq and Syria need Western trained troops to push back IS, the air campaign alone will not work, what is the point of pushing back IS if there is no one to hold and keep the land won.   The US voter is no fool, they do not like Wars but understand that they need to be fought in a smart manner, the present ONLY air campaign is not smart overall, the fight against IS requires ground and air support, one does not work without the other.   The Oval is seen as weak, thus it can be predicted that the Republicans will keep the House and have 6/10 chance of taking the Senate.
