Election 2012

While Obama can say he got Osama on his watch, it is way to early to think this will make the key factor for an Obama re-election victory. In a year this will be old news. Was the next terrorist attack prevented? It seems to be the consensus of many people. We are going to be attacked by people looking for retaliation. The war on terrorism continues. Economic issues will continue. People will ask "What did President Obama do that other Presidents would not have also done?" His supporters are going to be upset at the lack of change. Only if the next election was being held this November, would the death of Osama bin laden be a strong enough factor to give him a victory. But we have more than year, and so many things can change in a year.

Congratulation President Obama

With the death of Osama Bin Laden, Congratulations are in order to the President. Good job. Job well done.

Now I hope the President is ready. It is correct, this victory for the United States, and the world, will not go unanswered. Every plane landing or taking off from Reagan International should have (if it does not already have) air marshals on board. The President and family will need increase security.

Some criticism I am already hearing:
Why did it take so long. You knew of the house in August.
If Gitmo had been closed we would never have gotten him.
What else would the President do? He did what other Presidents would have done.


At this early stage I do not know if these criticisms are correct.

In Louis L'Amour books, the ambush would not take place until after the people would leave the narrow space. This is when they would relax thinking the danger is over. We must not relax yet, we must be on alert. From what I have heard the President is not relaxing. (No golfing today Sir)

The Trump

Review my Thursday, January 27, 2011 post entitled "Portrait of a Presidential Candidate" I decided I should address the Donald Trump. Donald Trump does have the executive experience one would need. Any CEO of a company could do a good job. I don't know if they have the political experience to deal with Washington. But if your trying to bring change to Washington, electing someone who is not willing to play the political games could be a good thing.

If Donald Trump is willing, and is serious enough, he could be a great candidate and a great president. Is he willing to address all issues. Will he be willing to cut taxes and cut spending? Will he reduce the size of government? What will his posistions be? He already has books out, and there is a biography. We could use his toughness in Washington.

The American people need to be willing to elect a congress who is willing to change. No matter who is elected President, change will not occur unless he/she has support of congress.

Errors

I am a bit reluctant to go back an edit for errors. My first goal is to record my opinion at that time so I could look back later and see if my thoughts are in line with how the future turned out. So if I go back and edit it will be because of my poor grammar but not with the intent of changing the idea. Since most people are not seeing this (O.K. no one else is seeing this at this time) I am not too concerned with correcting errors.

Computerized and Archived

As what may be happening around the U.S. records are being computerized. The actual document exist some place in storage. Also a book for each year has been kept, indexing the births. It will be quite difficult to go through all the boxes of records. It may not have been kept in a neat order since the certificate of live birth would be sufficient for most purposes and its will have been rare for anyone to see a copy of the original.

concern

I just saw a picture on the Drudge Report of the first Family. I found myself quite concerned about Malia Obama. She looks too skinny. I am worried her mother's anti-obesity campaign may be taking its toll and Malia is turning anorexic.

Lybia =Bay of pigs

Is Libya going to be President Obama's Bay of Pigs? Will the rebels who want to take over not have enough support and be killed. Because they expect U.S. support but President Obama pulls back his support.
