Why Bill Daley Quits as White House Chief of Staff

Bill Daley has resigned as White House Chief of Staff. Budget Director Jack Lew will take over for Daley.

Why? Nothing seemed especially amiss. Republicans have not shown they can beat President Obama. Why break what isn't broken? Because something is broken and we just don't know yet. Keep watching.

Donald Trump?

Who really thought Donald Trump was serious about running for president?

A lot of people, apparently. Liberals as well as conservatives.

One born every minute. In political circles, even faster.

President Obama Announces Re-Election (What About Palin)

Well, President Barack Obama wasn't go to announce his re-election but on April Fool's Day, but he did today.

Tough times ahead though. He is no longer a new face. No novelty. No history. All about his record, for better or for worse.

He made many promises, kept a few, but the economy is still tanking. The health care debacle continues, but will be cheered by those who think health care is an inalienable right, like life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (such rights do not exist in many countries).

The Republicans could take this one, if they only had a candidate with both a clean record and without histrionics. Mitt Romney looks like a front runner. Ron Paul has possibilities. I don't see Sarah Palin seriously running, though I expect her to stump and fund raise.

ABC talk about this: 'Hope' and 'Change' Meet Reality: President Obama's Reelection Roadmap:

Donald Trump for President? Could he beat Barack Obama?

Go ahead, laugh at the prospect of the Donald heading into the White House.

Remember though, as goofy as it seems, he is still a serious business man. He is not a cartoon like Charlie Sheen (see Songify This: Winning - a Song by Charlie Sheen), or even Richard Simmons, or other made-for-TV personalities.

Could he help the economy? Could he do worse than President Obama or President Bush?

Could he tell the radical Muslims or Moammar Gadhafi where to stuff it?

Employment?

Would he, unlike Obama, actually get us out of war in the Middle East?

If he runs seriously, it could forever change politics.

I'd love Donald Trump to step up to Osama bin Laden and sternly say, "You're fired."

Matt Damon joins the growing list of celebrities unhappy with President Obama

Matt Damon quotes a friend, "I no longer hope for audacity," as noted here:
Matt Damon joins the growing list of celebrities unhappy with President Obama

Does this mean Barack Obama would lose the 2012 election? Not a chance. 2012 is in the bag -- not because America is impressed with him (they aren't) but because voting against him would being saying, "We were wrong in 2008." Too much pride. America is not that humble. Damon is in Obama's pocket in 2012 no matter what he says today.

Emanuel Quits Ala Palin, Except He Can't Run for Mayor

Poor Rahm Emanuel. He quit his post serving out nation halfway into it to run  for Mayor, reminiscent of Sarah Palin when she ran for Vice President.

Big difference is Palin had people suing her right and left for Alaska related things.

Bigger difference too is that Sarah Palin was legally allowed to do exactly what she did. Emanuel neglected to research fully his concern, and now, the courts say he can't run.

Court: Emanuel's name can't be on mayoral ballot

My best guess is President Obama ran him out politely, that their relationship was good (hence the support for Emanuel's Chicago run), but that our good president wanted someone else in Emanuel's position.

Strange Glee in the White House With Tea Party Victory

Strange glee. The Tea Party crowd won an election in Kentucky. Rand Paul, Ron Paul's son won a primary. It made national news. Why are the Democrats happy?

Meanwhile, our dear President Barack Obama suffers from an all-time low approval rating (42%). While he has pushed the barely supported health care bill forward, nothing has changed. Life in 2010 is pretty much the same as the day before he entered office. He has another year to fix this, but that will come quickly. He cannot delay.

Are the Obama people really concerned Paul's modest victory represents something? Maybe not, but with the gust of wind which blew him into office now a mere breeze, they need to gather up the troops. Since part of the campaign for 2008 was reactionary, they want to grab the antiTea Party movement who do not realize one election in Kentucky is just that.

The Tea Party victory gives the Democrats something to threaten lapsed followers with. "Look, if you don't start lapping at out heels, Sarah Pail will be president. and you know she is not a feminist."

In other words, the antiTea Party movement's energy and fervor needs to be manipulated back into the Obama camp, otherwise the very deft and bright Hillary Clinton will use her increasing influence to steal away the 2012 election. She's already raising interest in her work in China, and her tough talk about Korea.

Sarah Palin Steps Down as Governor of Alaska

Though her opponents have shrilly decried her ideas and her dialect, Sarah Palin might be sayin', "You betcha," to skeptical Obama supporters when it comes to 2012. She steps down this month as governor of Alaska.
