I only thought that it would be interesting to see the reaction after the election events.<br /><br />Leave it then.

I know that Americans are always looking for the next 'big idea', a weakness and a strength in their political culture. Big ideas are good but it takes big people to execute them. Obama is a little man; he always was. Big words can never change that. <br /><br />I did actually publish the original of this last August on My T. You are actually the second person recently who has suggested that I return there. Change or not I could never go back, not after the campaign of pornographic vileness that pursued me there at the end. It's not at all what I expected on a blog site run by one of the great British dailies.Anastasia F-Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284602529524462457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-59427799850779567692010-11-04T05:41:01.176-07:002010-11-04T05:41:01.176-07:00Harry, thanks.

I have been having a short break and wh...Anastasia<br /><br />I have been having a short break and when I saw your Post I immediately wondered how many comments and/or reads you would get.<br /><br />You may or may not know that that I have Blogged extensively on Obama [of whom I am not a fan] and on America [of which I am] and I am disappointed with the mid-term results; some are still outstanding but that won’t change what I will say.<br /><br />I agree with your views but there is an important point that you must understand about modern American Politics. It defies all logic but that is America and I don’t see that changing in my lifetime.<br /><br />They have as many factions [all sorts of labels like right and left, conservative and liberal, you name it] like the UK but unlike the latter the two-party system has become so firmly entrenched in American Politics that all the labels have become just words with no meaning.<br /><br />Each Party starts out in any election with a virtual guarantee of 45% of the vote, even in landslide elections. The remaining 10% determines the winner or the size of the shift for that one election; next time they start the same thing all over.<br /><br />Enter Obama 2008. He had the added novelty of being African-American just at the right time and he used it so well. Americans are very quirky in politics; personally I think that Obama is no African-American [whatever that means] but that he is a full-blown African Politician [and please I am not referring to his birthplace wherever that might have been] and he has the innate vision of the African Politician. It appealed to the quirky 10% and to all those that can more or less be defined as “ole moneybags] and that made him the natural heir to the White House.<br /><br />Has that changed with mid-term? Regrettably the answer is NO [though it is choking me].<br /><br />You must run this Post in MyT and see. It’s mostly a new crowd there now with very few of the old-timers left but I don’t know that it will attract more than a few half-hearted comments from the die-hards. England, as America and many others are becoming more secluded in their own affairs.<br /><br />My prediction for 2012? Keep this.<br /><br />If the World Economies can curb the excesses that caused the worldwide mess in the first place America will also recover and Obama will become a Saint with a landslide win in 2012. If the economy does not recover [or if Obama manages to mess it up for good] he will be a one term President. That 10% [see above] will decide on that in November 2012; the two 45% groups will remain unchanged.<br /><br />You have an excellent Post though some won’t understand what you are saying because they only understand what they want to understand.Ike Jaksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983698717949531392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-58582979804448908672010-11-03T22:24:59.375-07:002010-11-03T22:24:59.375-07:00Very interesting analysis about Obama.Very interesting analysis about Obama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-82297323708783779752010-11-03T20:02:03.896-07:002010-11-03T20:02:03.896-07:00The elections went relatively well, we ousted many...The elections went relatively well, we ousted many Democrats who are essentially communists.Next we need to oust Obama so we can get the country on track.The situation in America can still be corrected through the political process but I am not sure about Europe ?.
