Karl Rove - Wants President-elect Obama to Succeed
Fox News ^ | 6 Nov 2008 | O'Reilly Factor

Posted on 11/09/2008 6:52:39 AM PST by subbob

O'REILLY: All right. Are you worried about Obama? Are you worried about this man?

ROVE: Look, I think…

O'REILLY: Come on, tell me the truth as an American, not as a pundit, not as a…

ROVE: Let me tell you what I feel as an American. First, as an American, I love my country and I want my president to succeed.

O'REILLY: So you want him to succeed…

ROVE: I want him to succeed.

O'REILLY: ...even though he's in the other party.

ROVE: That's right. Look, I was there when a president came in whom a lot of people in this country said, we don't think he's president, we will never accept him as legitimate. And I saw how bad it was for the country.

O'REILLY: The Bush haters.

ROVE: The Bush haters. And so I don't want to be one of those. I want to be a person who says I want our new president-elect to succeed. When he takes that oath of office after January 20, it's the obligation of every American to give him a chance. And we agree with him when we think he's right. We hope he's open to persuasion if his mind is open and not made up. And when he's wrong, we do have an obligation to say with all due respect we disagree.

This is very similar to what I told my close friends on Wednesday morning, after I got over my disappointment of Tuesday's results.

If you want to see & hear Rove in his own words, the video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC9YOGhrltw

The segment above starts 1:08 into the video.

I want Obama to succeed in not screwing up America.

But I want his agenda to fail.

And I want him to be a one-term POTUS.

So the Bush Haters...win?

The left was able to take BDS and turn it into control of Capital Hill, now Rove wants to jettison that in favor of some sort of lukewarm “Best wishes, hugs and kisses”?

Well, Rove might, the DC Republicans might, but I won’t.

If Zero can succeed in implementing his Marxist ideas, conservatives should have an easy walk into office in four years.

Rino Rove will soon publish a new book, How I turned the president into the biggest dork in American history.

yes, Republicans will NOT openly campaign, promote and try to cause economic disaster as the Democrats did when they were not in the White House. Nor will they try to secure American military defeat simply for political gain as the Democrats did, that would be treason.

For America to succeed, Obamacrats have to fail utterly. Opposing the lib regime is patriotic.

I hope you’re right before he can appoint some his pals to the SCOTUS.

Being more magnanimous than your opponents is the SMART thing to do.

We are not liberals. We don’t call our opponents illegitimate. We don’t whine about the results. We don’t burn down our towns when things don’t go our way.

Conservatives pull themselves up by their bootstraps, regroup, and prepare for the next battle against liberals in the never-ending war of politics.

Zero's definition of success is redistribute socialism.

Is Rove a socialist now?

Success for this Marxist means full implementation of his Marxist agenda.

I will pray for his failure every inch of the way.

This just serves to prove that Republicans as a whole are far more patriotic than Democrats, who will sacrifice the entire country to gain power, as they did during the Bush years.

But no one in the media will ever acknowledge this.

I am just upset that their treasonous behavior, rather than being condemned, is instead rewarded with electoral success.

Afraid not. Marxism is a sloooooow, sloooow rot. We’ve built up so much wealth in this country from capitalism that it will take a while to rot, but rot it will if Obama’s Marxism takes hold.

Succeed? Okay, that means he gets another four years and the next Senate and House will be dem/socialist for at least another twenty years not to mention the Supreme Court.

Rove is finally coming out - as a pure political being. No moral compass; does not care about the nation only the next political race.
