<p>In case you missed the sign, you have entered The Land of Pander, a country in Utopia where Plutopians like Obama reprogram optimists who dare to believe in the American Dream. In the land of Pander, hardworking, taxpaying citizens are converted into brain-dead drones, and told that the government will work within a budget.</p>
<p>Speaking of budgets, America has received another token budget from its token president. This budget is no more believable than the messenger who sent it, so bad in fact that Obama has resorted to setting up Truth Teams.</p>
<p>The Truth Teams are not meant to present the truth, but rather to stamp out the truth as it is discovered. Because in Utopia, the truth hurts. The truth exposes Obama;s major problem: His RECORD.</p>
<p>Obama has to run for re-election on the raw nakedness of non-achievement across the board. The economy gets F. Foreign Policy, F. Energy Policy, F. Even if you grade with a curve, Obama gets nothing but Fs.</p>
<p>There is an old country saying, “If you want to know how a feller is living, look at his barn, not his house.” And Obama’s barn is empty. $6.2T of spending to get nothing certainly exposes the pink jackass in the White House, packing to make room for the elephant.</p>
<p>I will give Obama an A for creativity, however. When you are at war with achievement as Obama is, you are forced to be creative. Obama took on the most important job in the world with the attitude that he “inherited this mess.”  His solution was to spend $6.2T without even passing a budget acceptable by Congress for over 3 years. Obama’s first budget was so bad that 97% of the Senate rejected it, meaning that even Obama’s own idiot savant Democrats found enough temporary sanity to know not to pick that turd up on the &#8220;clean end.” Yet, we are supposed to believe that Obama’s new 2012 election year budget will bring fiscal sanity to the nation. Apparently now Obama is ready to <em>budget</em>!</p>
<p>Obama’s latest budget doesn’t cut enough spending to make a nick in the deficit, supposedly providing $400B net savings over 10 years. Even the White House said that for every dollar saved, the new budget spends $2.50. That&#8217;s budgeting&#8230;Obama-style.  But at least Obama’s new budget is not political; because Obama is bigger than politics. This budget is for the good of the country. According to Obama, America is on the right track, he doesn&#8217;t want Congress (or George Bush) to “muck it up!”</p>
<blockquote><p>“<em>More money for America’s poor to go to strip clubs, casinos and take lavish vacations all over the world, why not! America’s problems are caused by those achievers who continue to step on the necks of the able poor. Somebody has to protect the shiftless and lazy from the deviance of overachievers.</em>” – Barack Obama</p></blockquote>
<p>When Obama wants money, he goes to an all too complicit Congress ready to rob the treasury. Need to bail out industries too big to fail, do it; as long as it helps the Democrat voting bloc healthy. Want to redistribute wealth from achievers to thieves; do so in the name of racism or classism, and Congress will turn in their male genitalia to the Sergeant-at-Arms and oblige.</p>
<p>Obama proves daily that the only thing worse than a lawnmower that won’t start is one that will. Even by Liberal standards Obama is a disaster. The cleanup crews work 24/7 on his messes, performing a never-ending cycle of dung scrubbing and hauling.</p>
<p>In the past Obama has flaunted his failures as badges of honor, and there were plenty of knucklehead Liberalis lining up to rally behind him. Obama had to win at all costs, they believed; because Obama would be transformational. Obama was transformational, transforming America back to the Carter Era, and to some degree the Stone Ages.</p>
<p>Instead of America improving on any front, America has been downgraded, literally. And the purveyor of hope and change takes <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>no</em></span> blame. It’s as if he were never in charge. Obama blames gravity when he trips.</p>
<p>This all adds up to the one fact, and that is Obama is unreelectable. Like in 2010, the real America will show up and thankfully “Other” will be in the White House in 2013.</p>
<p>That’s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/romney2.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3484" style="margin: 10px;" title="romney2" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/romney2-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>Romney Gets Last Laugh</em>, by <a href="mailto:theblacksphere@gmail.com">Kevin Jackson</a></p>
<p>Republicans are supposed to be heartless rich people.  The recent comment by Romney regarding his lack of concern for the “very poor” allowed the Left to certainly portray him as a black-hearted Republican aristocrat.  The problem for the Left is Romney is right.</p>
<p>When House Republicans have to pass H.R. 3567 to prevent welfare recipients from using their “payments” in strip clubs, casinos and liquor stores, I’d say that America has done a remarkable job in taking care of our very poor.</p>
<p>America&#8217;s safety net is so securely woven that approximately 49 percent of Americans are now firmly secure therein. The fibers of the netting are finally showing signs of wear, however, because the safety net is no longer helping the truly helpless.</p>
<p>This is because Liberals have changed the definition of helpless from those who cannot do for themselves due to physical or mental illness, to those who refuse to do for themselves due to laziness.</p>
<p>Almost all Americans know of somebody taking advantage of the system. Hollywood will occasionally expose the guy training for Krav Maga while drawing his union disability. Or what about the person feigning “mental anguish” because of the increased workload; and there are myriads of other excuses people give these days to get something for nothing. Nevertheless, the Left is quick to compare America in all ways to other nations, except poverty.</p>
<p>When you consider that almost <a href="http://www.globalissues.org/article/26/poverty-facts-and-stats">half the world’s population, over 3 billion people, lives on less than $2.50 a day</a>, one would find America’s definition of poverty laughable. Our welfare system is tantamount to hitting the lottery for an immigrant, if we use a “world” standard.</p>
<p>In 1990, this was <a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/politicalphilosophy/bg791.cfm#34">poor in America was defined as</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>“…there are some 31 million to 32 million poor Americans, a number greater than in 1965 when the War on Poverty began.”</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em>* 38 percent of the persons whom the Census Bureau identifies as “poor” own their own homes with a median value of $39,200.</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em>* 62 percent of “poor” households own a car; 14 percent own two or more cars.</em></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p><em>“Poor” Americans today are better housed, better fed, and own more property than did the average U.S. citizen throughout much of the 20th Century. In 1988, the per capita expenditures of the lowest income fifth of the U.S. population exceeded the per capita expenditures of the median American household in 1955, after adjusting for inflation.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>As the last paragraph of that report suggested in 1990 no less, the poor in America at that time had eclipsed what was defined as middle-class America of the 1950s. And what may be more startling is the aforementioned statistics didn’t account for everything that the poor were receiving “<em>in kind</em>” in 1990.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Out of $184 billion in welfare spending, the Census counts only $27 billion as income for poor persons. The bulk of the welfare system, including entire programs that provide non-cash aid to the poor, like food stamps, public housing, and Medicaid, is completely ignored in the Census Bureau’s calculations of the living standards of the “poor.” The missing welfare spending that is excluded from the Census Bureau poverty reports comes to $158 billion, or over $11,120 for every “poor” U.S. household.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>How we have allowed the Left to determine what the standard is for poor is. Because I don’t believe that our poor would be considered poor in any other country. Further, I would ask the Left what country they would prefer America’s poor to be poor in? Rwanda? Cuba?</p>
<p>Have you ever heard anyone refer to The French Dream, The German Dream, The European Dream, how about <em>any</em> dream, except The American Dream—a phrase known all over the world.</p>
<p>The American Dream is unique; sought after by every nationality on the planet. In America, you can be whatever your heart desires, as that is The American Dream. Yet we’ve allowed the Left to denigrate the American Dream. If we don’t provide our poor with manicures, game boys, and cars with spinning rims, we’re un-American, according to the Left. Well that’s not the world’s standard.</p>
<p>Should America raise the standard of poverty, certainly. But the taxpayers are not tools of politicians to indulge the whims of the poor. America was built on helping hands, not helping handouts.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/soul-city.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2954" style="margin: 10px;" title="soul city" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/soul-city-300x128.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="128" /></a>Soul City – A Black Utopia </em>by Kevin Jackson with contribution from Julie Grubbs</p>
<p>If we’ve learned nothing in the time of a black president, it is that America is more than ready to be one unhyphenated America. There was a time however when separation worked, like in the ‘50s when the black family was at its peak, and the black person at his most wholesome. Black neighborhoods were thriving, and ultimately would have led to present-day America not understanding a term like “black neighborhoods.”</p>
<p>In an effort to get back to that ideal, a ‘60’s era civil rights activist and director of the Congress for Racial Equality Floyd McKissick conceived a city built by black people and for black people. From McKissick came Soul City, North Carolina.</p>
<p><em>Architectural Digest</em> is said to have described Soul City thusly:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Soul City was carved out of 5,000 acres on played-out tobacco fields of the Saterwhite Plantation, in Warren County, North Carolina. When I arrived in 1974, Soul City was full of great expectation, ten double-wide trailers and no discernible human population. A nearby little hamlet of Manson, off U.S. Route 158, contained a small filling station and grocery store, ramshackle, picturesque First Baptist Church and a retread tire repair shop. Most striking&#8211;now as then&#8211;are the beautiful red clay dirt which line the roadsides, a hazy blue sky only occasionally interrupted by short, monsoon-like rain deluges and a stillness and beatitude which suggests Southerners only lost the War of Northern Aggression to return the land back to its mostly fallow, uncultivated state.</em><em></em></p></blockquote>
<p>This is far from McKissick’s vision of a black Utopia that would contain housing, businesses, and churches in a black cocoon of sorts, allowing black residents to live and work in the same neighborhood.  Black enclaves like Bay View-Hunter’s Point in San Francisco and Harlem in NYC existed in cities up to this point in America’s history, however those cities were run by whites, where blacks were treated more like guests of white city planners and developers. McKissick wanted a town where blacks would be the establishment.</p>
<p>Soul City was not the first attempt to build black Utopias. Previous attempts at establishing all-black communities—like Brooklyn, IL, established before the Civil War, and Promiseland, SC, founded during Reconstruction had all failed, always for the same two reasons:  Democrat intimidation and lack of money.  Soul City managed to solve the money problem.</p>
<p>In 1972 McKissick was able to secure funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and HUD in the form of a $14M bond to get the project underway. Soul City would later receive $1.7M from the state of North Carolina, and another $1M from private donors.</p>
<p>With these funds, McKissick built a state-of-the art water system, a health care clinic, and a massive industrial building called &#8220;Soul Tech 1,” a steel and glass manufacturing plant.  The city was diversifying with roughly a four to one ratio of blacks to whites by 1975, though the population remained small.</p>
<p>By 1980 there were only 35 housing units, a clinic, a tennis court and a pool, and the city had filed for bankruptcy. The former Soul Tech building was purchased by the Warren County Correctional Institution for expansion, and a number of new homes had been constructed to accommodate the population of 150. Soul City had few black businesses and was not on its way to being home to 18,000 people by 1989, as McKissick had hoped.</p>
<p>As writer <a href="http://nocrowds.blogspot.com/2007/07/soul-city-north-carolina.html">Kate Hedges puts it</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>To see Soul City in its naked, barren state, to drive its miles of paved roads which lead to nowhere, primarily used as places to dump old couches and appliances, to see its sole remaining edifice, a twenty foot high &#8220;Soul City North Carolina&#8221; sign, still carefully tended, is to see at first hand the pure love, blind trust, foolish pride which define the quintessential American mind and experience. Too often, we Americans are accused of acting exclusively out of malevolent intentions and ambitions. We see this played out daily in the streets of Baghdad, our corporate icons carelessly strewn across the world, in our disregard for other common global environmental concerns. But to see Soul City is to understand that, to an American, to want to do something is almost as important as its ill-conceived execution and final outcome. The American experiment&#8217;s still alive and well, whether it be transplanted to the gleaming canyons of Michael Bloomberg&#8217;s post-9-1-1 Manhattan, the ubiquity and gemütlich character of our neatly laid-out suburbs in any American metropolis, or to the backroads of this once-rural, now red-neck satellite-city development.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>You might think that Soul City was Democrats’ attempt to assuage their guilt about slavery and their heinous history on civil rights for blacks. But that’s not the case. Soul City was authorized by Republican President Richard M. Nixon, the very same Nixon who was responsible for Affirmative Action.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, Republican-sponsored Soul City had failed. But why?</p>
<p>In 1975, when Tom Stith of the Raleigh <em>News &amp; Observer </em>wrote a hard-hitting expose of alleged corruption, nepotism, and mismanagement in Soul City, racist Democrat-turned-Republican Senator Jesse Helms and racist Democrat-stayed-Democrat Congressman L.H. Fountain demanded an audit of the project.</p>
<p>Soul City was essentially at a standstill until the General Accounting Office (GAO) completed its investigation. Soul City was eventually cleared in December of the very same year the inquiry began.  The fate of Soul City had been sealed, however. Despite solving the money problem, McKissick could not solve the Democrat intimidation issue, though it wasn’t white Democrats wearing white sheets this time.  This time it was white Democrats in suits, who had seen to it that there would be no black Utopia or Republican success in helping black people establish economic power.</p>
<p>The more things change, the more they remain the same.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[With all the difficult issues out of the way like “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the START Treaty, redecorating the White House, and scheduling his next vacation in early February, Barack Obama is finally getting back to the Nation’s business.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/lostobama.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2755" style="margin: 10px;" title="lostobama" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/lostobama-300x162.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="162" /></a>With all the difficult issues out of the way like “<em>Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell</em>,” the START Treaty, redecorating the White House, and scheduling his next vacation in early February, Barack Obama is finally getting back to the Nation’s business.</p>
<p>Today, America will be treated to what Liberal Professor Michael Dyson deemed “sexy brilliance,” as Obama tries to dazzle America in his State of the Union address. Yep, you got it. America longs for yet another brilliant speech from the great orifice.</p>
<p>Let’s hope that we don’t have another national crisis, like a shooting in a state that the Justice Department is suing, or Obama may be called to lay hands on his flock yet again. Whether healing the wounded or raising the dead, Obama’s message is the same:  “<em>Go forth and vote Republican no more</em>.”</p>
<p>Before Obama was elected he said he would focus on the economy, even ridiculing McCain for saying that the economy was in good shape. After selection but before official coronation, Obama asked Bush to approve the bailout, saying we had to do it or America was doomed.</p>
<p>After the election, Obama was happy to dump another $1.4T into the economy, because as he put it, “These industries are too big to fail.”  Treasury raided, but doom avoided.</p>
<p>Two years later, the economy is worse than it was at the beginning of The Time of O. I’d say that the doom we are experiencing is “…<em>the one we have all been waiting for</em>.”</p>
<p>The question was posed, “<em>Where would we be without the $1.4T that Obama spent</em>?” Just a guess, but my answer:  <em>“$1.4T RICHER</em>!”</p>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/TBBL-Book-Cover-Snippet3.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2741" title="TBBL Book Cover Snippet" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/TBBL-Book-Cover-Snippet3-214x300.jpg" alt="" width="214" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #ffcc00;">Get the Amazon best-selling book <em>The BIG Black Lie</em>, available in <a href="http://tinyurl.com/263b9cb ">hard copy</a> and <a href="http://tinyurl.com/27wt6gz ">Kindle</a>. This book has been called &#8220;the funniest political book ever!&#8221;</span></strong></p>
<p>Like with most Liberals, money is the solution. Just put <em>money</em> to work, and the money will figure out what to do. Give the money to the unproductive, like unions, bureaucrats and other lazy Americans, and as Pelosi proclaims, “<em>That’s stimulus</em>!”  For Liberals, throwing money at a problem is leadership, particularly when the money being thrown belongs to somebody else.</p>
<p>It is said that Obama is <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/world-news-political-insights-obama-rides-momentum-speech/story?id=12743764">riding a high</a> going into this address. Apparently his campaign stop in AZ paid off. So what can we expect, as Obama surfs that big wave of popularity that the lamestream media will undoubtedly tell us exists?</p>
<p>First, whatever problems America has, they are not Obama’s fault.</p>
<p>Next, things could be worse. Had Obama not done whatever he has done, who knows what would have happened. If you disagree, prove it.</p>
<p>Obama supposedly will tell us that he is committed to the economy.  <em>Really</em>? At least we know the price of commitment:  $1.4T and counting…<em>plus interest</em>.</p>
<p>It is said that Obama will discuss how to cut spending, and he will discuss his commitment to economic growth through “investments” in Education and Infrastructure. Finally, Obama is said to want to boost momentum.</p>
<p>Obama started to cut spending a while back. He ordered the cabinet to cut a whopping $100 million from the $3.5 trillion federal budget! To put that in perspective, if your annual salary were $1M, your equivalent bullet-biting budget cut would be a whopping $30.</p>
<p>As for Obama’s plans for economic growth, given our economy, I’d consider that a threat! Obama knows that “investments,” in infrastructure and education are pure money grabs. Just how much road and bridge repair did our first “investment” get? I do know that we got $192M in signage to remind us of that investment.</p>
<p>As for education, America shouldn’t invest another dime in the current education system, and in fact should decommission it. It’s time to have the private sector to take over. Currently the government takes almost all the taxes for public schools, providing little to no funding for home schools and private schools, yet this is from where most of America’s brightest kids hail.</p>
<p>Finally, Obama will discuss what he will do to “boost momentum.”  In order to “boost momentum,” don’t you need to <em>have</em> momentum? I defy anybody to tell me where we have had any sustained good news. A good report of any kind from the government is almost always met a few days later with the revised “real” report, that is much less optimistic.</p>
<p>If you believe there is momentum in this economy, I have pictures of Whoopi Goldberg in a bikini that might interest you. It’s the same place where I keep a certified copy of Obama’s birth certificate.</p>
<p>Junior is driving with a learner’s permit, and he’s weaving in and out of traffic. Obama has not suddenly shifted to free market thinking, and if you believe he has, then just butter your butt and we’ll call you Biscuit.</p>
<p>Everything Obama will do over the next two years will be in an effort to get re-elected. All Obama needs is another four years, and the Liberals are set. Let’s hope he keeps the momentum by staying out of the Nation’s business. That&#8217;s the only thing that can help the state of the Union.</p>
<p>That’s my rant!</p>

<p>If you need evidence that we are indeed in a post-racial America, I have it.</p>
<p>In a conversation with one of my friends and business partners about his son, a teenager and gifted basketball athlete, the subject of what the boy wanted to be when he grows up came up.  Tom’s son answered that he wanted to be a <a href="http://www.harlemglobetrotters.com/">Harlem Globetrotter</a>.</p>
<p>Talk about high aspirations.  In fact <em>too</em> high…for a white kid!</p>
<p>In a time when America has a black president, a white kid can’t realistically dream of being Harlem Globetrotters.</p>
<p>Not to racially profile, but there is no way a white kid can dribble like Curly Neel, or fire off a hook shot like Meadowlark Lemmon, the Clown Prince of Basketball.</p>
<p>If the Harlem Globetrotters did allow a white guy on the team, he would surely be a token, a product of Affirmative Action for white folks. No self-respecting white man would want that stigma, now would he?</p>
<p>But let’s say for a moment that Tom’s kid is the second-coming of Dr. J, some dreams are just too big for America’s white kids, because white kids can’t belong to black organizations. That’s just not right.</p>
<p>Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope, as Street Ball, (<a href="http://www.and1.com/">AND1</a>), allowed a white kid, nicknamed “The Professor” to play on one of their teams.</p>
<p>To his credit, The Professor has mad basketball skills and can hoop with the big dawgs—a serious baller.  To my knowledge, The Professor remains the only white guy on AND1, and for all intents and purposes, The Professor is really just a black kid trapped in the body of a fish-belly white kid. He may very well be an albino, because he plays too well to be white.</p>
<p>The Professor talks like a black guy, walks like a black guy, I bet he even has a black girlfriend.  I suggest to you that The Professor is more black than 99% of black folks, and more comfortable around black people than Barack Obama. In other words, the jury is still deliberating on The Professor’s true ethnicity.</p>
<p>Tom’s kid, well he talks and acts “white,” except for his basketball skills, which are most definitely “black.” A real conundrum; and being honest, I’m not sure how to counsel my friend.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, this idea of these white kids not “living their dreams” got me to thinking, “To what should white kids in America today aspire? The answer was really simple, as plain as the nose on my black face: White kids should just aspire to be black!</p>
<p>I suggested to Tom that he allow his son to be adopted by a black family, who would raise the kid to be black.  It would be like that movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0878804/"><em>The Blind Side</em></a> where a rich white woman, Sandra Bullock takes in the poor homeless black kid, and raises him. The black kid goes on to play professional football, and get a movie made about his life.</p>
<p>Tom’s kid deserves a chance too. So in the spirit of equal and opposite, Tom’s son should be raised by a poor black family, so he can realize his dream.  Think of it as poor black people’s way of giving back to the white youth of America.</p>
<p>Being black would certainly make things much easier on Tom’s son. Expectations would be a lot less, as there would be built-in excuses for his failure. If white kids are raised black, they could join all the black groups that exist for minority students.  Student unions remind minority kids of their ethnicity, just in case they don’t have parents around as reminders.</p>
<p>Black groups are needed, as they perform a medicinal purpose, allowing black kids to discriminate without being discriminatory, and all white kids need to learn how to discriminate—practice for the future. Because after college, the next rite of passage for our white adoptee is for him to join the NAACP!</p>
<p>Without declaring “black,” he simply cannot join the NAACP at least not without being a guilty token. As a guilty token he could become chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. Tom could be proud that his kid put &#8220;hope in his brain, and not dope in his brain.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/one-drop.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2682" title="one drop" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/one-drop.jpg" alt="" width="190" height="256" /></a>With the advances in DNA, I suggest that Tom&#8217;s kid declare himself black, based on the “<a href="http://www.wordiq.com/definition/One-drop_rule">one drop</a>” rule. It has certainly helped Obama, given that he is considered black, when in fact he is more white than black and acts <em>far</em> more white than black. Take away Michelle Obama, and Obama is a just a black man trying <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/05/20/sunday/main618820.shtml">to pass</a>.</p>
<p>The ruse of the Utopians has lowered white kids’ aspirations. Instead of aspiring to be president, white kids now want to be members of the Harlem Globetrotters, well at least one.</p>
<p>Even more telling is that white kids likely won’t see the position of president as a “big deal,” given the performance of the present occupant—no role model there. Perhaps Tom’s son is a just a product of his political coming of age.</p>
<p>Perhaps Tom should just get a lawyer, and threaten to sue the Harlem Globetrotters so his kid could pursue his dream. Such a strategy might bring Sharpton and Jackson from under their rocks to debate the new post-racial America.</p>
<p>That’s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/puppets-on-strings.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2651" style="margin: 10px;" title="puppets-on-strings" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/puppets-on-strings.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="386" /></a><span style="color: #ffcc00;"><strong>Check out my book <em><a href="http://tinyurl.com/263b9cb ">The BIG Black Lie</a></em>, the funniest political book ever, and an Amazon best-seller.</strong></span></p>
<p>Republicans are strutting around the barnyard like the cock of the walk. They made Obama extend the Bush tax cuts, and only gave another 13 months of unemployment insurance to millions of Americans. Bravo for the Republicans…for being played.</p>
<p>Don’t believe the hype that the Liberals are up in arms about this deal. A few are, but the real puppet masters got exactly what they wanted.</p>
<p>13 months is 56 weeks. Does anybody even remember that unemployment was originally 26 weeks?</p>
<p>At 99 weeks we were at almost four times the original duration of unemployment, now we’ve added 56 weeks, more than double that original amount. Don’t think that unemployment benefits will be reduced…<em>EVER</em>!</p>
<p>Unemployment benefits are just redistribution of wealth.  The Liberals got another inch, and are still working towards that mile. If you don’t believe me, ask yourself this question:  <em>Has there been any discussion of a limit on unemployment benefits?</em></p>
<p>The fact is there <em>is </em>no limit on unemployment for Liberals. Keep in mind this is the group who votes themselves fat pensions that pay them for LIFE. Government workers and unions, getting paid to do nothing with no reduction in lifestyle. These benefits are a payoff to the poor to keep voting Democrat, because the Republicans won’t allow you to get free money.</p>
<p>What did the Republicans get? They got what they already <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">had</span></em>!</p>
<p>As usual the Republicans missed an opportunity to step on Obama’s skinny neck, and brightly illuminate the reason for the need to extend unemployment for two Christmases:  Obama’s policies can’t create jobs. In fact, Obama&#8217;s policies <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">kill</span></em> jobs!</p>
<p>Obama promised <a href="http://theblacksphere.net/new-obama-plan-now-4-1m-jobs/">4.1M jobs</a>, when he was running, yet there is no mention of this. He then promised to <a href="http://theblacksphere.net/95k-jobs-month/">create 95K new jobs</a> every month this year, yet he’s done bupkus!</p>
<p>But instead of reminding Americans about Obama’s inability to accomplish anything, and his complete incompetence, the Republicans cave on unemployment.  The millions of people whose unemployment was to be cut off needed to be reminded of Obama’s incompetence, and not sold on the idea that Republicans are heartless. Republicans are job creators. The tax cuts are a PROVEN way to create jobs and help the economy.</p>
<p>However, this Republican move is strictly symbolic. Strategy 101. Business as usual for a group that still hasn&#8217;t learned how to fight.</p>
<p>A two-year extension of the Bush tax cuts is a <em>reprieve</em>, a stay of execution and not a pardon. Businesses will see this as two-years to batten down the hatches, <em>not</em> to invest.  After all, there is a socialist in the White House, and the way the Republicans fight, he might be there four more years.</p>
<p>Since nobody else seems willing to say this I will. When did the rich stop being Americans? Do they have rights or are they to be bandied about like a ping pong ball for political expediency.</p>
<p>There is nothing wrong with being rich.</p>
<p>Most kids I know aspire to be this, so do you hate KIDS?! Most poor people I know want to be some version of “rich,” do you hate poor people? It’s counter-intuitive to hate the rich, because most of us strive to be rich. Why does the government want us to hate our potential selves?</p>
<p>And when discussing “those who make over $250K,” Democrats are quick to discuss “millionaires.” Well making $250K does not make you a millionaire. And even if it did, who is the government to put a limit on your productivity, your aspirations and dreams?</p>
<p>Claire McCaskill said on Fox News today,  [pp] “…the millionaires ‘second million’ should be taxed heavier.” Why? Because in order to be a millionaire, you must be evil, right?</p>
<p>Here’s the wrap:</p>
<p>Letting the Republicans represent taxpaying Americans is like having a pedophile watch your kids.</p>
<p>The Republicans should have <em>forced</em> Obama to let the Bush tax cuts expire, thus increasing taxes on <em>everybody</em>.  The unemployed would have had to deal with their lack of funds and lack of jobs, and they would know exactly where to put the blame. But the Republicans were afraid of being demonized, and supporting the rich.</p>
<p>The rich deserve to be supported. Outside of government jobs, it is the rich who employ people—<em>and </em>the government. It is time that Republicans stop allowing rich to be treated as second-class citizens. But they won’t.</p>
<p>So Obama is Santa Clause for the next <em>two</em> years.  He is funding reparations to the poor, payoffs for the remainder of his campaign season!</p>
<p>Most of the unemployed now qualify to be wards of the government. And if they don’t mind waiting in long lines, along with unemployment, they can now get housing assistance, a “food” credit card, a cell phone, and a host of other benefits. Welcome to Sugar Land.</p>
<p>The added benefit for most is they can go on their hustle. A hustle is a little “somethin’ somethin’” that the government doesn’t have to know anything about. A cash deal or a barter. The government encourages this behavior, because you can only go so far with a hustle. Once you’re on the hustle, the government has you right where they want you. Voting Democrat.</p>
<p>Merry Socialistmas, this year and next!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/King-Obama-59693.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2474" style="margin: 10px;" title="King-Obama-59693" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/King-Obama-59693.jpg" alt="" width="346" height="435" /></a><strong><span style="color: #ffcc00;"><em>King Obama and his One-Man Government -</em> by Rachael Williams</span></strong></p>
<p>Recovery Summer is coming to a close, but Obama still needs to go to rehab for his addiction to power.</p>
<p>Ordinarily, a president—even when their party has a monopoly in DC—is merely a mascot and figurehead for their administration.   Presidents can set the agenda and direct the political atmosphere, but their authority is kept reined in by the checks and balances set by the Constitution.  If there’s one thing that Constitutional scholars are good at, it’s finding ways around it.</p>
<p>Take for example Obama’s deficit reduction panel.  The National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform (NCFRR) was dismissed as a joke, an attempt at showing America Obama’s nonexistent concern over skyrocketing debt.  But no one was laughing in June when the panel <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/231543/deficit-reduction-panel-needs-more-money-daniel-foster">ran out of money</a> a mere four months after forming. </p>
<p>The budget is supposed to originate in Congress (but only <a href="http://theblacksphere.net/repubs-get-handcuffed/">if they feel like it</a>, apparently), and the Congressional Budget Office has the specific purpose of scoring bills to calculate how much they will cost or save.  In addition, reconciliation affords the Senate a way of avoiding the need for a cloture vote in instances where a bill can save money in the coming fiscal year’s budget.  When both houses have their distinct purposes in managing the budget and by extension the deficit, there is no need for an entirely new bureaucracy for that purpose.  Unless, of course, the aim is to bypass the House and Senate and transfer the authority to an unelected group more in line with the president’s own ideals.</p>
<p>When Andy “<a href="http://michellemalkin.com/2009/09/21/inside-seiu-president-andy-sterns-culture-of-corruption/">Union Thug Extraordinaire</a>” Stern was appointed to the NCFRR, our Usurper in Chief managed to bypass a centuries-old separation of powers and eliminate any threats to his tax-and-spend agenda.  Obama isn’t stupid—he did, after all, go to Haaaaaaahvard—and he knew that while the 52%ers fell for his faux populism the first time around, the “<a href="http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/118541-obama-tries-to-connect">I feel your pain</a>” schtick had been played by the other first black president.</p>
<p>Speaking of Clinton, at least he triangulated after the donkey bloodbath of ’94.  Carter missed out on re-election when people saw the true him—a putz in putz clothing. The Obama gambit more mimics The Carter Strategy, as he mistakes chess for checkers.  Believe it or not, Obama actually has America longing for the good ol’ days of Carter!</p>
<p>Obama’s arrogance and his constant need to find workarounds have led to his current situation.  ObamaCare is the quintessential example of this, as it contains so many bureaucratic loopholes that even the Congressional Research Service says it is “<a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2010/08/03/obamacare-the-infinite-bureaucracy-act/">impossible</a>” to figure out how many new government agencies it will spawn.  The debate dragged on for so long that the Democrats found themselves deafened by whispers of repeal as a motivation to bring out the vote for the mid-term election.  Obama took this into account and made sure that the final bill—which was not written by a Representative or Congressman—couldn’t just get stamped with VOID and thrown in the recycling.</p>
<p>While taking out the trash in November is tremendously important, it’s also important to remember that there are limits to just how much we’ll be able to do—simply because of how the bill was designed.  Reagan warned us that entitlement programs were “the closest thing to immortality in this life” and brother, he wasn’t kidding. <em>Can you spare a dime?!</em></p>
<p>It’s not even just the gradual phasing-out of Congress and the Senate that Obama is using to make over the government in his own image.  If they won’t cooperate with his plans on Cap and Trade, he doesn’t need them.  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is more than happy to <a href="http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/21600">force it upon us</a> without the consent of our politicians—much less the consent of the governed.  <a href="http://www.epa.gov/region9/ra/">Guess who</a> it is that appoints the administrators of the EP (hint: it’s not the voters).</p>
<p>The official EPA website already features several pages <a href="http://www.epa.gov/capandtrade/">dedicated to Cap and Trade</a> touting the system as “a policy tool that delivers results”.  If by “results” they mean <a href="http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/view/101703">redistribution of wealth</a> via skyrocketing electricity prices, I don’t doubt it.  Wait a second, Obama and redistribution of wealth… <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/178713/obama-constitution-redistribute-wealth/michael-ledeen">why</a> <a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/02/obamas_socialism.html">does</a> <a href="http://conservativedailynews.com/2010/07/redistribution-of-wealth-through-taxation/">that</a> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/24/business/24leonhardt.html">sound</a> <a href="http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/usnews/health-care/3968-obama-recess-appointment-calls-for-redistribution-of-wealth">so</a> <a href="http://www.americansfortheconstitution.com/2010/04/07/obamas-redistribution-of-wealth/">familiar</a>?</p>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Titanic-sinking.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2475" title="Titanic-sinking" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Titanic-sinking-300x190.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="190" /></a>The only difference between Obama and a junkie pawning his mom’s jewelry to pay for his next fix is that Obama thinks his fiscal kleptomania serves the greater good.  When he confiscates your liberties and tries to render impotent your elected leaders, he’s doing it for your own benefit.  Unless you took Hope and Change 101 at Haaaaaaahvard, you can’t be trusted to grasp just how awesome it’s going to be when he <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvJJP9AYgqU">fundamentally transforms</a> America.</p>
<p>You can forget about recovery.  It’s been Titanic!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/I-speak-jive.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2414" style="margin: 10px;" title="I speak jive" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/I-speak-jive.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="230" /></a>What up, yo? You flat illin’, if you think that in the time of Obama, the DEA would partake in racial profiling. But that is exactly what they are doing with the hiring of people who speak Ebonics! Our stimulus dollars finally created <em>nine</em> jobs! Fashizzle, my Nizzle!</p>
<blockquote><p>In 1997 the Linguistic Society of America passed a resolution calling Ebonics a form of communication that deserves recognition and study. Characterizations of Ebonics as &#8216;slang,&#8217; &#8216;mutant,&#8217; &#8216;lazy,&#8217; &#8216;defective,&#8217; &#8216;ungrammatical&#8217; or &#8216;broken English&#8217; are incorrect and demeaning.</p></blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>A language formerly considered lazy a few decades ago is now <em>en vogue</em>. To emphasize this, the government hires people too lazy to learn proper English to monitor those too lazy to partake in the American Dream.</p>
<p>In the 1800’s Ebonics was spoken by slaves to keep Massa from knowing what the slaves were doing. Ironically, the re-enslavement of America has slaves repeating history.</p>
<p>For those wondering why Ebonics speakers are needed, it may be that Democrat policies have led to there being more drug <em>use</em>, thus more drug <em>sales</em>, dare I say more drug <em>crimes</em>…in da hood?</p>
<p>Though<a href="http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/08/24/dea.ebonics/"> this article </a>says it’s not just black folks’ phones that are being tapped, conversations intercepted and translated, I’m not so sure. This program will be rolled out in what is described as “the agency&#8217;s Southeast Region &#8212; which includes Atlanta, Georgia; Washington; New Orleans, Louisiana; Miami, Florida; and the Caribbean…” </p>
<p>Let’s analyze these areas:</p>
<p>Atlanta, GA – Chocolate City</p>
<p>DC – Chocolate City</p>
<p>New Orleans – Chocolate City</p>
<p>Miami – Caramel Chocolate City</p>
<p>Caribbean – Chocolate Islands</p>
<p>As Jesse Jackson proclaimed while <a href="http://biggovernment.com/cjohnson/2010/02/21/jesse-jackson-sr-blames-unenforced-civil-rights-law-for-housing-crisis-denies-his-own-involvement-shaking-down-the-banks/">race-baiting the banking crisis</a>, “They are targeting the blacks and browns.”</p>
<p>I’m inclined to agree, as it appears this program has been gerrymandered. In Florida for example, these new agents aren’t being deployed in <em>Naples</em>!</p>
<p>But you can’t possibly think that Eric Holder or Obama wants to really crack down on drugs, ergo <em>crime</em> in black neighborhoods. Two brothas who would not prosecute Black Panthers?!  The HNIC who appointed Van Jones to his Czar network?!  Cracka <em>please</em>!</p>
<p>Neither of these light-skinned, metrosexual brothas would run the risk of losing street cred.</p>
<p>This token gesture—pardon the pun—is just political posturing, and what this administration thinks will be a win win.  Liberal blacks who will never abandon Obama will proclaim that he is cleaning up black neighborhoods, creating jobs, providing opportunities, and so on.</p>
<p>However, if a Republican administration were hiring Ebonics agents, these same blacks would be crying foul, and joined in their chorus by every race-baiting Leftist organization in America.</p>
<p>The lamestream media would report, “Republicans Targeting Blacks with Racist Hiring”!</p>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Ebonics.gif" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2415" title="Ebonics" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/Ebonics-231x300.gif" alt="" width="231" height="300" /></a>Here’s the wrap:</p>
<p>Leave it to Democrats to promote the use of a useless language to fight a war that can’t be won with the current strategy, then to attempt to sell the Ebonics as a language.</p>
<p>Ebonics is creative code that takes elements of English, and synthesizes it, so it is not understood by the mainstream. Like Jazz for example, Ebonics is no longer just “black,” but it belongs to all. Ebonics has a sort of poetry to it, as its use of metaphors requires one to think, sometimes deeply.</p>
<p>Given that definition, this administration could use some creative types capable of deeper thought.</p>
<p>Because as it stands now,</p>
<p>“O and his peeps pitchin’ straight game, hella clownin’ America. Can’t nobody fade them chickenheads, cuz they stone wack; tryin’ to git all of America to catch a ride, and laying a bum beef on the Republicans. Ya feel me?!”</p>
<p>Peace out!</p>

<p>Hair freshly dyed to present a more youthful appearance, Obama asked Americans to honor our fallen soldiers.  As the black dye covered the true color of Obama’s hair, so his words highlight the color of his black heart on Memorial Day regarding America’s finest citizens, its fallen veterans.</p>
<p>No matter how Obama tries to present himself, Obama’s tribute to the military is as he has said,</p>
<blockquote><p>…words, just words.</p></blockquote>
<p>Instead of doing what a president <em>should</em> do on Memorial Day—attend the ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery to truly honor our fallen soldiers—Obama chose instead to shoot some hoops, then to attend a BBQ in Chicago…at Farrakhan’s house.</p>
<p>We shouldn’t be outraged.  Obviously Obama needed some rest!  He has been a busy man, likely the busiest president in history when you consider all that he has done.</p>
<p>This week for example, Obama may need to unwind after all he has done to stem the flow of oil in the gulf.  It has been a massive effort on the part of his administration, and after getting involved in earnest at the 33 day point, you can see all that he has accomplished in all his efforts—the same thing he has accomplished as a community organizer, a state Senator, and a Federal Senator…<em>nothing</em>!</p>
<p>Obama did use the one thing he finds so meaningful, again “words,” as he encouraged Americans to “hit the beaches” to help the struggling coastal economies.</p>
<p>I guess this is how a sissy encourages others to &#8220;storm the beaches!&#8221;</p>
<p>I suspect that delivering &#8220;words, just words&#8221; can be tiring.  I would never know, because most good Conservatives deliver results.  I do know however it can be tired for Obama to just be him.  Then again his fatigue could be that he is exhausted from all the shopping he has done lately?</p>
<p>Spending $1T is not as easy as it seems. The purchase of DeathCare, the funding of Unions, the financial disaster cover-up can be taxing, to say the least. It&#8217;s a shame that Obama lost steam (and money!) before he was able to complete the purchase of Sestak!</p>
<p>Obama has logged lots of frequent flyer miles flying from state to state wheeling and dealing for hundreds of millions with Democrat Congressmen and Union bosses!</p>
<p>Then there is Obama’s fight with Arizona over protecting its citizens from the scourge of illegal immigrants, another tiring battle to say the least. At least in this one, Obama is teamed with Eric “America is a nation of cowards” Holder.</p>
<p>I’m sure our veterans would be happy to know that they gave their lives, so that the Obama administration would turn our country over to just <em>any</em> old body.  The country that ALL other countries of the world used to admire and used to send only their best and brightest, now willingly accepts the dregs of other societies.  The legacy of our veterans is being sold out for Democrat votes! America is being sold out, so a small group of elitists can implement socialism.</p>
<p>Thankfully Arizona doesn’t have to worry too much, since Obama and Holder are the two biggest sissies in the country!</p>
<p>When you have veterans who gave their lives to protect the 58<sup>th</sup> Parallel, you have to be happy  that they didn’t have to witness  pimp-slap of the Obama administration by North Korea, <em>daring</em> ObamaNation to respond to the attack on America’s ally and global trading partner, South Korea.</p>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/obama-shooting-hoops-2.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="size-full wp-image-2094 alignright" style="margin: 10px;" title="obama-shooting-hoops-2" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/obama-shooting-hoops-2.jpg" alt="" width="223" height="296" /></a>Here’s the wrap:</p>
<p>Obama can hearken back to the days of WWII and ask Americans to honor our fallen soldiers—as if he needs to tell true American patriots this—or he can ask us to “storm the beaches” to help the economy.  On most Americans, those paying attention, Obama’s words are hollow.</p>
<p>It may seem like hyperbole to say America is at war with itself, but it’s true.  The internal wars, like the War on Achievement, the War Against Capitalism, the War on Christianity, the War on Morality, the War Against True Patriots, The War on Sanity are wars that were started and are being executed by the person known as America’s Commander in Chief…at least by some, but not by me!</p>
<p>If this administration were to go unchecked, who will America celebrate in a few short decades? <em>Van Jones? Nancy Pelosi? Joe Biden</em>?!</p>
<p>Obama’s words about America’s fallen veterans are as empty as his suits. I am convinced more than ever that Obama has no love for America, at least not the one that most of us know and love. In honor of our veterans, I can only hope that real patriots rise up in November of this year and again in 2012 to restore their honor, and the honor of this country.</p>
<p>That’s my rant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/obama-saluting.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1338" style="margin: 10px;" title="ph.obama_00989_5-9-08" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/obama-saluting-204x300.jpg" alt="ph.obama_00989_5-9-08" width="204" height="300" /></a>At least in Iraq the people <em>knew</em> they were getting the”<em>All Saddam All The Time</em>” channel.  That’s how dictatorships work.  I can’t imagine that “Guilters” (the “white guilt” constituency who elected Obama) believed they were going to get this much of “His Half-Blackness” on their TV sets&#8230;<em>all the time</em>!</p>
<p>Because Obama believes he has a mandate from the Guilters, we are treated to “<em>All Obama All The Time</em>” news, the only difference being that he warns us when something is <em>really</em> important, by telling us about it in advance. </p>
<p>He seems to prefer Tuesdays, as this day preempts a highly rated prime time TV show like “So You Think You Can Dance,” and rightfully so!  For as we have learned with ObamaNation&#8230;<em>nothing</em> is more important than Obama.</p>
<p>And what revelation will Obama share with us <em>this</em> Tuesday?  Well, it’s a two-fer!  We will learn of Obama’s well thought out war strategy for the war in Afghanistan, <em>and</em> get the ancillary understanding of just how stupid General McChrystal’s strategy was for Afghanistan!</p>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Shameless plug:  I spent 3 weeks traveling to help feed the CA farmers, and draw attention to their plight. The gov&#8217;t is allocating water (5%), and these people are losing everything.  So donate to the Tea Party Patriots to help these great Americans.  And consider buying my <span style="color: #ff0000;">Amazon best-selling</span> book </strong><a href="http://www.amazon.com/BIG-Black-Lie-Learned-Democrat/dp/061530222X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1253287415&amp;sr=8-1"><strong><em>The BIG Black Lie</em> </strong></a><strong>. Thanks!</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is a tidbit, a sneak peak as it were on what we will learn as this <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091125/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_us_afghanistan">AP story reports</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The White House says President Barack Obama is placing heavy emphasis on how the United States eventually will withdraw from Afghanistan even as he plans to announce a troop increase next week.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I can hardly wait to hear this.  Though I got the gist of it from the AP story, I know that Obama will fill in the details of why it has taken him <em>weeks</em> to conclude what General McChrystal concluded in mere moments.  I can only imagine the dizzying spin to which America will be treated.  No doubt Obama’s will explain that his delay was contemplative and deliberate, while McChystal of course…<em>jumped</em> to a conclusion!</p>
<p>AP goes on to report,</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The president and his top military and national security advisers have held 10 meetings to discuss America&#8217;s future steps in Afghanistan. Though the top general in Afghanistan has asked the president for about 40,000 troops, military officials expect the president will deploy about 35,000, starting next year.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>I love the play by play in this article, e.g. “…<em>top military and national security advisers have held 10 meetings</em>…”  <em>Ten</em> meetings!  As if the <em>number</em> of meetings is important.  What if it had only been <em>eight</em> meetings, then what? And I’m sure these were very transparent meetings…for <em>Al Jazeera</em>! </p>
<p>Finally, last time I checked McChrystal <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">is</span></em> the top military and national security adviser.</p>
<p>It irks me that Obama is always looking for an “exit strategy!”  It confirms for me that Obama doesn’t know how to win anything…except <em>elections</em>.  So here’s a thought on strategy, Barack:  WIN THE WAR!  That makes the exit strategy so much simpler, and a lot cleaner than the “tail between your legs” strategy that you will likely employ!</p>
<p>As for the staging of this “<em>All Obama All The Time</em>” press conference at West Point, only kool-aid drinking Liberals would miss the symbolism!  The most inept “Commander in Chief” appearing at West Point, one of America’s most hallowed military institutions—and an institution that Obama is more than willing to tear down, happy to do so in fact!</p>
<p>Like his racism, Obama admitted to his disdain of America’s military during his campaign, as he believes they are butchers, imposing America’s imperialist and capitalist views willy-nilly around the world.  Remember that as with all things Bush, Obama “inherited this mess”&#8211;that includes the US military.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, don’t be surprised if Obama’s staff wrangles to get him an honorary degree!  And why not?!  Obama came to essentially the same conclusion that proven military strategist and 4-star General McChrystal concluded…only Obama’s strategy is <em>better</em>!  If only McChrystal had come to the conclusion to use only 35,000 troops, instead of the 40,000l! How stupid was <em>that</em>?!!  One can easily see that Obama is <em>much</em> more contemplative and definitive in <em>his</em> conclusion, than McChrystal!</p>
<p><a href="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/obama-thinking-2.jpg" class="img zoom rounded imgHover"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1339" title="obama-thinking 2" src="http://theblacksphere.net/wp-content/uploads/obama-thinking-2-300x224.jpg" alt="obama-thinking 2" width="300" height="224" /></a>Here’s the wrap:</p>
<p>I suggest that when Obama needs to make a tough decision quickly, he ask himself, “What would Bush do?” </p>
<p>Obama said weeks ago, that he did not want to put more troops in harm’s way. Ironically in the meantime, troops were <em>already</em> in harm’s way.  And in the end, Obama decided to go with McChrystal’s decision…to put more troops in harm’s way.  The only change is Obama wants an exit strategy…oh and to put out the fire that he has created with his lunatic base. </p>
<p>The Left is mad as hell that Obama is fighting two wars abroad, their anger tempered only by the two wars being fought on the home front: The War on Achievement and The War on Capitalism.</p>
<p>Regardless of how we feel, America will be graced with Obama on Tuesday, during prime time.  We again will be treated to watching who Liberals say is “the smartest man in the room,” the man who brought &#8220;sexy thinking&#8221; to the White House.  Let’s just hope Mr.  Sexy Thinker doesn’t have to make any <em>snap</em> decisions, as they appear to be above his pay grade.</p>
<p>That’s my rant!</p>
