Writer James Delingpole on Telegraph.co.uk notices similarities between British Prime Minister Tony Blair and U.S. President Barack Obama. James is not a fan of either. Among other similarities he finds these:

Do you believe in polls? The Gallup Poll two weeks before the 1980 election showed Carter 47% Reagan 38%. Carter outspent Reagan also. The Reagan blowout swept 12 Republicans into the Senate and tipped control to the Republicans. No one seemed to consider the possibility of that happening. Walter Cronkite told us on election eve that the contest was “too close to call.”
Another faulty poll: the Texas A&M football team was ranked in the pre-season Top 10 and finished 6-6.
The trouble with Mitt Romney: “He seems to be the perpetual ‘We’ll take him if nobody better comes along’ candidate,” says Steve Tobak.
One report says the USA is on track to become a net fuel exporter for the first time in 62 years, says HotAir.com writer Tina Korbe. One important catch to this:
