OBAMA'S MAKE OR BREAK PRESENTATION.

There are conflicting reports that former Gov. Sarah Palin may run or may not, in the Republican Party primary; and even though her speech in Iowa has attracted a great deal of main stream media attention, it has forced reporters to ask the question, "Is Sarah Palin Wearing Out Republicans' Welcome Mat?"

Candidate Michele Bachmann "Downplays Perry Surge, Calls Race 'Marathon, Not a Sprint' ", is a remark that makes the Republican front runner. Gov. Perry, feel slightly giddy; particularly, with the Super PAC ad. by the Bachmann camp saying that he is, "not worthy of Tea Party support."

Now, former V.P. Dick Cheney is chiming in, with the notion of Secretary of State. Hilary Clinton challenging President Barack Obama, on the Democratic Party side, in his 2012 campaign for his reelection.

He did so on Fox News Sunday program, after his new book "In My Time", has caused a backlash from former Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, as well as former Secretary of State, Colin Powell, respectively.

He is hoping, as many political pundits are also thinking that, it will be a good idea for Hilary Clinton to jump in and disturb the cool atmosphere presently prevailing in the Democratic Party. It is only Obama, who is the party's candidate now. So, to start a disturbance for him will not be deemed as objectionable at all.

All of these news tidbits add up to how confusing politicians, past and present, want the 2012 campaign to be; and voters will find it very difficult to make up their minds in the final analysis.

If they think the choice of candidates is becoming darn hard now; they must wait and see how the general election itself will fare. Not many people will go out to vote, because there will be too much rhetoric during the preceding six months or so to election day, it will almost be impossible to know whom to vote for, either a Democrat or a Republican.

The Republican side is really tight, and the candidates are somehow becoming somewhat uncomfortable; and therefore there must be some commotion on the Democratic side as well, just to level the playing field; Otherwise, Cheney and others will not go out of their way to find someone to "dethrone" Obama, or at least make him feel a little bit insecure.

It is a tricky or even an unwelcome thing to do, on the part of these Republican fanatics, but they are doing it anyway. Therefore, if Obama wants to keep his place, he must make sure that his speech on Thursday night to a joint session of Congress, will not be just a speech, but one that will convince the majority of Americans that their trust in him, as it has been the last time around in the 2008 campaign, is still not been misplaced.

That, he is still worthy of that trust, and he has something better to offer. Or else, his campaign, leading to the 2012 general election, will be futile.

It will be a "make or break" presentation for him, not only before the U.S. Congress, but before the whole nation; and he must prepare himself for a bad reaction from his audience, of another outburst of, "That's a lie."; if his audience is not too happy with what he is saying.

He has heard that once before; however, it would come from a whole lot of people, and not just one person, as it did in a similar address to another joint session of Congress, only a short while ago.

The presidency of the United States cannot be a toss-up affair; and so, he must be streaming with new ideas in a speech that will fully restore confidence in the nation's economy.

That is what everybody is looking forward to seeing him do. Besides, actions speak louder than words; and that is what people are saying all over the country. He must therefore have the courage and come out to say what they want hear.

He must buck up; for it is not so bad as his opponents are making it out to be.
