Many Americans believe that Obama has had few, if indeed any, meaningful successes of his own during what has been passed off as his presidency so far. Contrariwise, many Liberals have and will continue to present a laundry list of the boy’s supposed “wins.”

While the drivel spilling from the maws of the Obama Regime, its remaining cultists, and the Liberals is laughable, it’s not fair to call Obama atotal failure. It’s not all bogies, double bogies, and triple bogies on Obama’s scorecard and not every success was the result of a Mulligan.

There’s one area where Obama has more than made par…

Obama’s class warfare has brought us to the point where successful people feel they have to apologize for getting it right.

Yes! Obama has been quite successful at class warfare. It is, in point of fact, the defining point of the boy’s presidency.

To be fair and to give Obama the props which are his due, as the First Black President the boy is de facto a Black Leader and Black Leaders have to dream and dream big.

The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of integration and equality and of a nation where Race didn’t matter. His successor, Malcolm X dreamed of a race war and the annihilation or subjugation of the Whites.

Obama Has A Dream

Obama’s dream is somewhere in the middle of those two and skewed a lot towards the Left, or so he and/or his handlers want people and the Liberals’ constituents to believe because it’s Obama’s first, best, and last hope of keeping his job.

Yes, Obama has been singularly successful at class warfare. The question is whether this singular success, being mere words from his bully pulpit, will be enough to gain him victory in the 2012 elections.

Throughout much of its history the Catholic church has relied heavily upon its religious orders. The orders fulfilled varied missions and duties for the mother church that were not best performed by the clerks regular.

 VS  

This has, not surprisingly caused some friction and competition between the various religious orders. It’s natural that they compete for funding, prestige, and postulants.

Two young men considering a religious vocation were having a conversation. “What is similar about the Jesuit and Dominican Orders?” the one asked.

The second replied, “Well, they were both founded by Spaniards – St. Dominic for the Dominicans, and St. Ignatius of Loyola for the Jesuits. They were also both founded to combat heresy – the Dominicans to fight the Albigensians, and the Jesuits to fight the Protestants.”

“What is different about the Jesuit and Dominican Orders?” The first asked.

“Met any Albigensians lately?”

That about sums that one up. The Dominicans ensured that the Catholic church’s “catharsis” was complete. The Jesuits, on the other hand, weren’t nearly so effective.

Obama doesn’t like it when things get in the way of his grand reelection scheme. The boy has little patience for anyone or anything that obstructs his goals and he’s more than willing to sidestep around such obstructions.

Obstructionist!

After all, small-minded, self-absorbed, narcissistic boy masquerading as a man or not, Obama is a Liberal who studied constitutional law and their sort only do so in order to learn how to manipulate and suborn it.

After all, Obama is the First Black President and it’s not as if he’s going to complacently allow a document written by a group of rich, old, White slave owners to obstruct his being seen by history as more than a footnote or cautionary tale.

No, Obama doesn’t like it when things get in the way of his grand reelection scheme. The boy has little patience for anyone or anything that obstructs his goals and he’s more than willing to sidestep around such obstructions.

Muslim are angry. All across the Middle East, the Far East, Asia Minor, and Africa Muslims are angry.  They’ve seemingly been angry at the world and each other for approximately 1380 years.

The adherents of the “Religion of Peace” have consistently vented that anger in centuries of violence whose feral savagery shocks the sensibilities of the Civilized World.

Indeed, the only places where you find happy Muslims is in the West, in the nations of Europe and in America – nations where Muslims don’t rule and Islam has no control over the laws and behaviors of those nations.

Yet, despite this, Muslims blame the Civilized World for their problems and their anger instead themselves, their leaders, and Islam. They blame us to point that they’ve started a jihad against us.

Sadly, you can’t reason with creatures like that; they’re just too far divorced from sanity, normative human thought, and basic reason. You can only contain them or exterminate them for the public health.

Right now Liberals’ and Feminists’ panties are twisting. The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just overturned the lower court’s decision to block a Texas law requiring that females seeking abortions to have a sonogram exam and to listen to a physician’s detailed description of the fetus.

US District judge Sam Sparks had previously ruled in August that it violates physicians’ free-speech rights – by what legal basis nobody knows.

As Technorati’s contributor, Stephen Alexander writes:

In Texas, the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a Texas law that mandates women seeking an abortion to have a sonogram examination and to listen to a physician’s detailed description of the fetus, including whether it has developed limbs or internal organs.

The people who support the law say it is designed to ensure that women are fully informed about abortions. More importantly, they want to discourage women from undergoing the procedure. The law, enacted last year requires all women seeking abortions to have an ultrasound scan, except for those who certify that they are rape victims. Victims of rape are permitted to avoid hearing a description of the fetus or embryo.

Texas’ law will now go into effect and it’s doubtful that anyone will successfully challenge it in the SCOTUS.

Oh yeah, Liberals and Feminists panties are twisting over this ruling. Of course, if these females had kept their panties on in the first place or showed a bit of common sense when they took them off, this issue would never have come up.

It’s, after all, a choice; women have a choice about when, how, with who, and with what protections they have sex.

Periodically there’s talk about green automobiles. Let’s be honest about the expectations for these “green automobiles” though. Insofar as the Leftists and Warmists are concerned, this is the only “green automobile”:

Green Automobiles

Nothing else or “lesser” will satisfy them. The Leftists, these Liberal and Progressive domestic enemies of America, want cars abolished or strictly controlled because they hate the liberties that individual transport provides and the Warmists are true believer of their doomsday cult who will do anything in their thankfully dwindling power to destroy the economies and industries of the Civilized World.

A while back Obama blamed technology, specifically the internet, for America’s job loss and continued unsustainable levels of unemployment.  While it’s abundantly true that, in three long years, Obama has spent most of his efforts in blaming everyone other than himself and his Liberals for America’s issues,  I’ve got to admit that he’s got a point this time.

That is what technology does. It removes the need for low-end manual effort, effort that is considered unacceptably hazardous, and effort that requires tedious repetition and accuracy.

It’s been three years since Obama was installed as the POTUS. For three full years now America has writhed under the class warfare and utter uselessness of the Obama Regime. Our economy remains in the tank; jobs have continued to be, to put it kindly, thin on the ground except for the ever-growing public sector; and what there is of our foreign policy is a joke wrapped in a riddle, wrapped up in an enigma.

Throughout it all Obama’s continued response is to blame everyone and anyone except himself, with special emphasis on any who are productive, successful…and White.

It’s Been Three Years

At what point will Obama own up to his failure? At what point will he, if ever, reject the sad myth of his being too Black to fail and accept responsibility for what he’s done and so often over the last three years failed to do?

My guess would be sometime after the boy is dead and brought up for judgement, not before.

It’s perfectly fair to say that Obama has not been a boon to America’s economy. Nothing he’s done and nothing that he’s championed has improved the nation’s economic situation as a whole.

In point of fact, much of what Obama has either done or shilled for via the bully pulpit has had a chilling effect upon America’s economy.

There has been one significant uptick though, one segment of the economy that has responded positively to the Obama regime. Nationwide, firearms and ammunition sales have soared since Obama was installed as POTUS and that recovery shows no signs of slowing.

Obama’s Economic Boom

Indeed, 2011 Christmas firearm sales were record breaking, and the previous records weren’t that old.

With a few days left in December, the FBI reports the number of background checks has already topped the previous one-month record — set only in November — of 1,534,414 inquiries by gun dealers to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System also known as NICS. Almost half a million checks were done in just the last six days before Christmas.

Two days before Christmas, NICS ran 102,222 background checks, which was the second-busiest day in history. The one-day record was set this year on Black Friday, the big shopping day following Thanksgiving, with 129,166 searches. By comparison, the previous one-day high was set November 28, 2008, when gun dealers made slightly less than 98,000 requests for background searches.

In a larger context, the record for firearm purchases in a single year was set 2010, when the FBI reported that approximately 14.4 million background checks were requested. In 2011 that figure topped 16 million, an estimated 10% jump sales.

NOTE: FBI background searches aren’t the same thing as firearms sales. They can’t be used to accurately track multiple firearm purchases by the same individuals at the same time – i.e., if I buy 10 AR-15′s, 2 Mossberg 500′s, and a HK USP45 (w/o suppressor) as one purchase it would generate only one FBI background search.

So it seems that Obama’s economic boom is vastly ironic and probably not one that he’s comfortable with.

Trojan® Brand Condoms are America’s #1 condom and have been trusted for over 90 years. For approximately 90 years Trojan has been the go-to prophylactic choice in America, outselling every other brand of condom year after year after year.

This is a bit strange since the brand is “oddly” named. It just shouldn’t call up imagery that people would find comforting in their birth control.

Trojan condoms is a pretty piss-poor name for a prophylactic. Think about it

The Trojan Horse entered through the city gates, broke open and loads of little guys came running out and ruined everybody’s day.

Definitely bad branding, but somehow Trojan condoms have overcome that and continue to be the best selling brand.
