Barack Obama: Will He Be Re-Elected?

Will Barack Obama's foreign policy in Egypt and Libya help him or hurt him? I don't want to defend Hosni Mubarak here, but he was a friend to the west, now it appears that extreme religious elements are taking over the country.

With Libya, Gaddafi was becoming more friendly towards the west. Now, like Egypt, the people who have replaced him are unknowns. They are likely aligned with religious extremist groups.

America - under George W. Bush and now Obama - has been too focused on being a police-man (imperialist) overseas and has not been focusing on the home-front. Unemployment and recession are serious problems in the United States.

The first president Bush basked in victory - and high poll numbers - from the First Gulf War. However, by the time of the 1992 election, the focus had shifted to Americans' number one concern as recession hit, jobs.

We all know how that election turned out. Will Obama face a similar fate?

Barack Obama and his Problems

The man has a lot on his plate. Add BP to it. A lot of these problems he inherited from the Bush era. I sure don’t want to be in his shoes even if I can.

Stephen Harper Resuscitating the Economy

Remember during last year's election Harper kept repeating that the fundamentals of our economy were strong. Then after the election he and his Finance Minister Jim Flaherty told the Parliament that there was no need for incentives or stimulus for the Canadian economy. Instead they wanted to finish all the vital signs of the opposition by cutting their public funding. Then the Harper government had a near death experience (the dreaded coalition) and Parliament was prorogued.

Early this year Harper started talking about stimulus to get back his vital signs and also following the lead of Barack Obama for stimulus. Although Bush is gone, Harper still needs ideas from Washington. This 'bright economist' has no ideas of his own. The Obama government offered warranties for new cars in order to give a jolt to restart the auto industry. Now Harper has again slavishly followed that lead and is offering the same in Canada.

Does this man know what is he doing? Is our economy going to be resuscitated or is it doomed to die, and maybe will have rebirth under a different administration?

Economy: Will Barack Obama be able to deal with it?

The US economy has two suitors right now – George W. Bush and Barack Obama. Bush has been squarely rejected. Will Obama be able to handle her or fall flat? Will he get on top of the economy or vice-versa? Time will tell how the scene unveils itself.
