Deal or no Deal

As you have already heard, the Speaker of the House John Boehner's bill has been pulled and postponed. Now I have been watching the debt crisis closesly and please allow me to put my two cents in.

A. If the US defaults it will undoubtedly send a shockwave through the financial system, and the US will lose their converted AAA ration. However as the deadline looms, such a move is unprecedented and as Timothy Geinther puts it, "unthinkable". It is my belief that the US will never default, much to the dismay of the Republicans. It is in their veiw, that should that happen the fall of the blame will rest with President Obama.

The Republicans are after all Americans so they do not wish to see the US default so they are hoping just as the Democrats are hoping that the President will pull the 14th Amendment and raise the debt ceiling. There will be little or no opposition in the courts for a move like that, but such a move is not guaranteed in the court of public opinion.

B. If a last minute deal, as the the Harry Reid's plan that had the bi-partisan backing is pushed through last minute and acquires the votes and the debt ceiling is raised. The President will come out on top.

C. If the U.S defaults and the President does not use the 14th, it is the Republicans who will bear the weight of the fault, and especially Speaker of the House John Bohner... please stay tuned for part II tomorrow.


come to think of it, this post was more like my 1cents in haha

I Bet..............SALT will open!

The movie Salt, starring Angelina Jolie will open this wknd. I predict final tally on Monday 31-34.5 million. That is less than Inception's opening wknd, partly because of the ingenious marketing, whereby the audience is unaware of the full concept behind the movie, only that Leonardo DiCaprio stars in it. Jolie is a star in her own right, but this looks like a mindless popcorn summer flick where you leave the right side of your brain home......

Those movies tend to do well at the summer box office.

Heck i might see it, so i'll blog about it......

PEACE

I'm Back 2010

Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, cops and robbers.... im back!

The Man Who Would Be King

Quiet on set. Cue sound. Cameras up.... action Spitzer. Hollywood couldn't have scripted this demise of villainous character who wall street loved to hate. Eliot Spitzer, the former Attorney General of New York who was aptly known as the Sheriff of Wall Street was brought down last week by a 4,300 dollar hooker. Awaiting his charges from the U.S attorney, Spitzer will formally step down as Governor of New York today. I have followed Elliot Spitzer's career ever since his name started to pop up on the wire services. This was very disappointing, like many people who read the New York Time's online report, i thought it was a joke. I couldn't fathom that a man of Spitzer's stature would resort to such stupidity. But then again my father always told me that when it comes to sex, "there's not one human being who doesn't want to have it"

To me the whole fiasco is a little sketchy. The federal government rarely prosecutes prostitution, nor do they set up a task force that will cost millions of dollars of tax payer money to investigate a prostitution ring that doesn't even pass the million dollar threshold. I get the whole money laundering angle, but still, i don't see this as a priority for them. Now I'm not one to start the spewing the right-wing conspiracy theories but it's worth looking into.

Elliot Spitzer is someone i believe would have made it all the way to the White House. He was very ambitious, and his crusader message would have taken him all the way. Yet his political career was cut short. There is not much to say other than he got caught. I find it hilarious to see the major news networks spending hours with analysts, experts to better explain the situation. What's there to analyze? The man wanted pussy. He set out to pay for it and he got caught. End of story.
