Barack Obama has faced tough challenges at home and abroad
This is a blog I myself have been compiling for many months now as I realise the End Game for the USA is very close. You can’t trust your rulers, why are armed drones in your skies, how did Edward Snowden manage to leak details on US spying operations, these were TOP SECRET FILES YOUR TAX DOLLARS PAY FOR, TO PROTECT. You are being taxed with the “Fear Tax” it’s a game of “Pay extra Tax to feel safer” Do you feel safer. Many ask why I don’t blog about he UK, Well I have, many times below. I also blogged about China, Russia and South Africa and Germany to name a few. I myself fell for the “Obama” president will save the world crap.

So as you can see, I blog about the whole story, it is just the scene is being played out on an American Stage. Close your eyes and stick your fingers in your ears, but when you are slaves for real, and you are stuck in a Police State with no Guns with the inability to come here or anywhere else to tell your story, pretty much what is happening all over the Middle East, where the UK and USA are spending Billions the don’t have and killing people they “should” care for and kids also (Can you feel the Irony) I believe in God but “God Bless the United States of America” makes no sense to me and many from the USA any more. I speak from the heart here.
How President Barack Obama deals with a crisis of trust in the wake of the leaks scandal could determine his legacy.
Barack Obama has faced tough challenges at home and abroad
As the saying goes, “presidential candidates campaign in poetry and if they are lucky enough to win, they govern in prose.”
Presidential Candidate Barack Obama was especially good at campaigning in poetry.
It was clear that he was a natural in this role, leaving both his opponents Senator John McCain and Governor Mitt Romney in the rhetorical dust.
Perhaps that is why, even though he won re-election for a second term, he is unwilling to dismantle his campaign apparatus and get into the down and dirty, nitty-gritty work of governing in hard-edged, well-disciplined prose.
Mr Obama’s first term was challenging since he faced a strong Republican opposition intent on stopping his agenda dead in its tracks.
Despite the efforts of the opposition, he was able to pass a piece of hard-fought landmark legislation – Obamacare.
Mr Obama took to the international stage with the G8 summit last week
His second term has proved even more challenging than his first as the Republicans are keen to take full advantage of every misstep to make Mr Obama a “lame duck” as soon as they possibly can.

Just as his predecessors have done before him, when things are not going so well at home it’s time to take to the international stage to look “presidential” and refocus on the agenda.
It seems that Mr Obama had hoped his trip to the G8 and Germany would give him just that opportunity.
Last week he was at Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate on the eve of the 50th Anniversary of JFK’s famous speech to re-capture some of the magic of his 2008 campaign.
This time the president spoke before a much smaller, invited gathering.
Long gone were the “rock star” awaiting throng of hundreds of thousands that he so easily captivated just five years ago.
Realistically, expectations were not so high this time around and this Nobel Peace Prize winner’s only competition last week was not JFK or Ronald Reagan but Barack Obama himself.
Mr Obama has now governed for several years and the times have certainly changed.
The weight of real world problems that he has had to face may have eaten away at the idealistic hope his supporters had for him and his administration.
Optimism and idealism for “Hope and Change” seem to have given way to the hard, cold realities of the toughest job in the world.
Mr Obama has not only been facing a tough domestic opposition but he has also had to come face to face with the severe challenges on the international stage and they visibly taken their toll.

As Congress tries to wrap up some of its important legislation before the July 4 recess, the president and his family are headed for a week-long visit to Africa.
The Senate Immigration Reform Bill is front and centre, and the passage of this piece of historic legislation might need a bit of the president’s encouragement.
If passed, this is likely to be the most important piece of legislation passed in his second term.
At the same time he could also be facing the most the challenging crisis of his presidency.
The “Snowden Crisis” has put the Obama administration’s intelligence-gathering policies in jeopardy, under the public microscope, and has once again eroded the precious trust between the US government and the American people.
How Mr Obama deals with this crisis of trust and how he finds his voice to regain that trust and confidence on this issue could determine his legacy.
Most US citizens are torn. They are uncomfortable with the government having unfettered access to their private communications. At the same time, they understand the government must “snoop” to some extent, when legally justified, to keep them safe.
They also cannot understand how someone like Edward Snowden, an outside contractor, was given access to our top secrets and able to disclose them with such ease.

- What else does he have up his sleeve?
- This crisis leaves us with some very tough questions ahead:
- What role does journalism play here when it comes to national security?
- Is it within the Freedom of the Press to publish a story like this one worth the price we pay in loss of security?
- Is there a way for an individual to challenge alleged government abuse or wrongdoing without damaging national security?
- What will the fallout be in US relations with China, Russia and the ultimate country that agrees to give Mr Snowden asylum?
- Is WikiLeaks a journalistic endeavour or an enemy of the state?
- Should such sensitive work be done by independent contractors like Booz Allen, or is this a job for full-time government employees or members of the military who swear an oath of allegiance to uphold the US Constitution and take it seriously?
- How much transparency is necessary when it comes to government intelligence programmes designed to protect the “homeland”?
- How much congressional and judicial oversight is enough, and how much is too much?
- And perhaps the toughest question: How much liberty are Americans willing to give up in the name of safety in the electronic, social media, information age?
The “Snowden Crisis” is likely to test the limits of both the president and the American people on these questions and on their desire to maintain their constitutional freedoms.
At LAST! Some real coverage, some real truths, some real debate over the constitution, some real reporting, and questions with depth to them. Many including myself have blogged fairly hard about the American foreign policy and homeland situation. I may be from Scotland, UK but the actual truth of the matter is, when America sneezes, we all get a cold over here, when America gets ill, we all get ill. The market crash worldwide came on the back of the USA Market crash. I don’t think some in America truly realise the impact every decision, every move, every lie has on the World, the same World ALL our kids grow up in. The USA have had terrible time abroad with relations with China and Russia sinking to an all time low. With China now being the new financial superpower AND buying up land in the USA we enter a crucial time for the people of this Generation, and a time that can and probably will shape the World for generations to come with many issues being at hand that the American Government have backed themselves into a corner with.
Here a few blogs I did that ling this story all the way back, in some way, this is a very bleak time for not just the USA but for our World also. America has to realise their actions will hurt us all all over my Country and the World. What the USA have become is the new Roman Empire. There is infighting between (I believe) The North and the South on a political level within Politics and Government in the USA. I seen this very quickly by doing a little reading and research. This is real, the Media are slowly starting to report, there seems to be people like Ron Paul who are speaking out now, NOW IS THE TIME TO ASK FOR AND GO FOR REAL CHANGE!
Listen to your own Politicians and people who care about where the USA is headed

America is no longer the beacon of freedom it once was, it is not as resolute as it once was, the American Dream has died, the USA is a dying nation. I know Many do not want to hear this, read this nor accept this. I got called an “American Basher” by an IDIOT on here who I blocked within minutes of it being said. I love the people of the USA, most of the people I follow are from the USA, real friends, they are as worried if not more worried than I am about what could happen due to the events in the 12 blogs I have done out of nearly 800 about the USA and other countries that can and will and could at any second harm the USA, the USA has no money, never has there been a time when the USA has been as wide open to attack in ANY form. I pray and hope I am wrong, but sadly, when you have a quick glance or a good read of the FACTS I have added to the blogs above, anyone with even the smallest brain and ability to realise the USA is NOT the WORLD and is in-fact a nation on its knees with a people who are asking more each day about lies, a nation who are beginning to starve, it is slowly happening. If you are American you SHOULD know a bill was passed a few weeks ago to slash Billions of Dollars from the Food Stamp programme. This is the beginning of the end for what I see as the new Roman Empire. History repeats and people who are smart enough to connect the dots and clever enough to join them together will know what I am saying, in-fact I know many do realise my words are real here, I speak to many and am part of several sites, one the biggest there is, where most from the USA realise this is End Game. Are you prepared for your New World?
