The relationship between Israel and the United States is about to get heated with the President of the United States Barack Obama's meet with the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Even one of the AIPAC attendees said he was concerned about where the relationship would stand in 1 year after the conference this year. He has a good reason to be concerned and the problem is not the United States, its the choice Israel made or choose to make. As my mother used to say,"You lay on your bed as you prepared it"

During an interview with the Pakistan President Zardari, Wolf Blitzer was asking him about recent comments made by Obama during his Press conference by twisting the information. Obama said he was concerned about the fragility of the Pakistani civilian govt to provide basic amenities for its people; instead, Blitzer was claiming it meant that Obama is worried about the stability of the govt to survive.

I was watching much of the News yesterday and John King. I kept getting the same message coming from the GOP. The message is simple. They want to do all they can to win the Latino votes or increase their percentages. I rarely hear about them cutting into the Black votes even though they have a Black man as the head of the GOP.

Few days ago, i wrote a diary declaring Obama as possibly the smartest politician this country has ever seen. Before that, i wrote another diary about Obama possibly being the greatest President we have ever seen. Those two diaries seem like a stretch considering that we just passed 100 days of this administration. Somehow, my sentiment are not only resonating, but the chickens are coming home to roost.

I was watching Newt Gingrich this evening online. He came on Washington Journal and he was talking about Health Care system, and as a typical Republican, he tried to scare the heck out of the American people talking about health care rationing and how folks in London cant get treatment for Lung Cancer. I find his arguments not only false when it comes to health care system, but i am also amazed about how STUPID we are as a country to believe such arguments.

I have followed the previous Obama conference as i am sure most of you have. What i dont understand is why a journalist trying to ask a question have to appear insulting or demeaning to the President of the United States Obama. I want to believe that i am not reading too much into this, but the 3 examples below is quite clear.

I know its become the famous picture for the conservative pundits and even MSNBC and CNN. I wasnt surprised to see the picture of Obama shaking and laughing with Chavez on TV again today. But the Media have all refused to tell the American populace the truth. Maybe they have no idea or have simply conspired to deny it, but there is a reason behind embracing Chavez. America is trying to save itself from its own policies. He did the right thing for America and not for Venezuela. America needs Venezuela more than Venezuela needs America and i will tell you why.

In this second installment following my controversial diary, "Obama and greatest President in US history," I have chosen to analyze the Obama mentality and how his policies are implemented from my own perspective. His policies are engineered in such a way that he is sure to win in 2012 regardless of who the Republicans put forward and i will tell you why.

I was just watching CSPAN with General Petraeus testifying and a congressman from Texas told him he was concerned about Afghanistan. According to his history, Alexandra the Great and the Soviet could not defeat the Afghans. He wanted to know if enough is being done to prove to the Afghans that we are there to help.

I know its too early to say, but i think some of us can reason with this statement. The latest poll of polls from CNN shows Obama average about 64%. Though this is comparable with Carter (64%) and less than Reagan (67%) around the same time, Obama will end up with a greater approval rating than both of them (both below 50%).
