For me it is a dilemma. I am fundamentally opposed to the philosophy he has articulated prior to the present time. I believe if implemented his core beliefs expressed would cause far more damage than good and lead the nation into a path of degradation. Just because Obama and his advisors say something is good doesn't make it so. I don’t mean to sound political here, but rather one who is an adherent to the country our ancestors have handed down to us.

In short, I do not have a lot of trust in Obama. And that lack of trust stems from his biographical past experiences, his hidden history, his campaign rhetoric, his associates and associations, and some of his current advisors. I want success, yes - for the nation, not a personality.

I want the country to succeed.

To wish for Obama and his agenda to succeed is to wish for America to fail.

Not true. It depends on how "succeed" is defined. If it is, "succeeding by bringing to reality his core principles of leftism," no, I hope he fails big time because I love this country.

If it means, "succeeds because he adopts the only positions that will work, namely free markets and personal liberty and small government," then heck yah I hope he "succeeds."

It all depends upon what they mean by "succeed."

If it means keeping the nation safe and strong, then I'm all for Obama succeeding.

How can a patriot want an unpatriotic president to succeed?

Explain that, you silly liberals.

And I also encourage you to use Obama’s name as a swear when you need to. It works pretty well.

for “sh1t”:

“I had to go take an Obama.”
“You are so full of Obama.”

for “f@ck”:

“Go Obama yourself.”
“Get the Obama out.”
“Obama you.” (and the horse...) - optional
“Obama off.”
“This is really Obama’d up.”

Rolls right off the tongue.

From Wikipedia:
Sieg Heil is a German phrase, which means "Victory Hail" or "Hail Victory". During the Nazi era, it was a common call at political rallies. "Sieg Heil" was reserved for mass meetings such as the ones at Nuremberg where "Sieg Heil" was shouted in unison by thousands. Often a Nazi official would shout into a microphone "Sieg" and the crowd would answer with "Heil," and there might be several repetitions of this at times in ever-increasing volume. At such rallies there was often a display of banners carrying the slogan "Sieg Heil" along with the swastika. The NSDAP (Nazi Party) made a pin badge in 1933 displaying a victory wreath, the Swastika, and the words "Sieg Heil".

The expression itself is older than Nazism as it is a salute to Lady Victory, or Victoria, atop the Berlin Victory Column.

Patriots with a new pin badge.

If he succeeds and never, not once, violates his oath of office, then his success will be great. But if, and when, he violates his oath of office by crapping on the Constitution, then I hope and pray for his failure.

One is not a patriot if you want Obama's Marxist-Democrat-Liberal policies to succeed. THAT would be traitorous to the founding of this great nation and the blood shed for our freedoms. I will not be PCed into thinking PBHO is some sort of savior.

This is based on that the phony is coming in to take charge. Now correct me if I am wrong but haven’t the last 8 years the left were saying that we have to fight Bush and the right?

Why in the world would we want someone to succeed that promises..

much bigger government,

much more expensive government,

much more controlling government,

much more intrusive government,

much more litigious government,

much more socialist government,

much more US sovereignity lost to world government,

a reduction in US military weapon systems,

and a much more far-left social agenda across the board?

Patriotism is supporting and defending the Constitution and the Republic.

If supporting the president were the criteria then the democrat party and all of their supporters are traitors for not supporting Bush for the last 8 years.

I wish him failure in implementing his Nazi policies and whatever ill that fate may visit upon him.

To: Unlikely Hero

I want Obama to fail to get his agenda passed because if Obama is successful, the country will fail. I don’t care about Obama’s legacy. I care about our country and the future of our children.

I don’t want socialized medicine. I don’t want dumbed down public schools with a goal of fairness, rather than competition. I don’t want income redistribution. I don’t want renewed unionism, trade protections, and judicial restoration.

Obama does not want what is best for this country, he wants what he thinks is best for the world, a decreased United States that does not stand above the other countries economically, militarily, or culturally.

If you like all Obama’s goals, then go ahead, drink the Kool-Aid and wish him success. Just remember that once done, Obama’s changes will be very difficult to un-do.

Ask “Chimpy” what he thinks about giving a fella a chance.

The best thing for America in the next four years is for Obama to fail.

Towards that goal, it is incumbent upon all true patriots to make sure that the next four years mean a lame duck president.
