Why I Want Barack Obama To Fail As President
Red State ^ | 21 Jan 09 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 01/21/2009 6:50:46 AM PST by PurpleMan

Now we arrive at where I stand on Obama’s relative “success.” I did not vote for the man. I do not support his socialist ideas. I stand four-square against his votes for infanticide, his votes to gut the Constitutional right to self-protection, his vague ideas of nationalizing various industries, his intention to enlarge government to unheard of proportions and his softening on terror producing countries. And since these are the things his entire life’s career point to as probable goals to “succeed” upon during his presidency… well, I want him to fail. And I want him to do so spectacularly. If Barack Obama is but a Trojan Horse for communism to push its nose under and into the tent, I want him to fail in the attempt.

Simply put I want these ideas to fail miserably because success for them would mean the destruction of this country. So, wishing Obama to succeed would be hoping for the destruction of my country if success means the accomplishments of goals like I mention above.

I want him and his policies to fail as quickly as possible, so that he will be a one-termer.

It’s that simple.

Well, as Obama goes so goes America...therefore, while I do not agree with him in principle or political philosophy, my hope is that he will succeed as a president! Success to me, though, means that the nation is kept safe, the economy will flourish, and life, liberty and pursuit of happiness will prevail among our citizenry. (Life including that in the womb; liberty meaning for all whom are citizens and pursuit of happiness for all regardless of race, religion, or creed.)

Here’s a comforting thought,....imagine the Messiah departs this world. Thank God we have a plagerist cretin waiting in the wings to assume total control,.....and if he passes on to the grerat beyond,...we have an out of control leftist who’s had her facial skin pulled tighter than a tympanny to hide the fact that she is brain dead. Thank God almighty we have these fine individuals to protect America!!

I want him to expose the hypocrisy of the MSM.

I want people to ask why dissent was patriotic last week, but not this week.

I want people to see the smooth transition to the Obama administration vs. the blocked transition of the Bush administration.

I want people to see the voice vote for Obama nominations vs. the attacks against, say, John Ashcroft, whom even Jean Carnahan voted against after Aschroft declined to contest that illegal election.

Color the crowd in the national mall in brown shirts and it takes America back to 1939 Germany and Hitler.

Way cool!! You are already blaming 0bama's failures on Bush. BDS wins again!

"Way cool" ???

And obammer hasn't failed just yet....but the messes he's stepped into certainly doesn't bode well for success.

On the other hand, if obammer does anything at all to get the economy righted again, it will be a good thing for the millions of workers who have lost their jobs, their homes, and in some cases, their families.

And the economy is just one issue.

By the way (BTW), what does "BDS" stand for.

I am not so sure the Dems will fail. Obama really can’t do anything anyway, it is Reid and Pelosi who are in charge. If they argue and do nothing we will prosper, if they get together and do something (like the pubs did) we are in a world of hurt.

Here’s to a do nothing Congress and President :)

Hey, man, you beat me to the punch. I was just going to post something entitled,”I Hope He ISN’T SUCCESSFULL”

Why? Four years is better than eight years of this insufferable, egomaniac, narcissistic, pretentious, loquacious, ubiquitous, phony, radical, superficial, media-created, charlatan, inexperienced, unaccomplished fraud of a gasbag. I can’t stand even watching Fox News anymore, it is all about BHO 24/7. I find myself watching reruns of Hogan’s Heroes during the time slot I used to watch the news. I find that a lot more enjoyable and relaxing then watching the news these days.

Say whatever you like about GWB, but at least the man was humble and circumspect—not in your face 24/7.

Of course I want the economy to succeed like everyone else but I know BHO’s radical socialistic policies will only make it worse.

Another thing. I’m sick of all these so-called conservative commentators gushing over how wonderful it is that an African-American was elected president. I’ve never heard so much racist caca in all of my life. I could care less about BHO’s skin color. It is his radical left background as a Saul Alinsky-trained community agitator as well as his close associastions with dangerous radicals and race baitors such as terrorist leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn and Louis Farrakhan and Rev. Wackadoodle which I find highly disturbing.

This country is truly pathetic electing such an obvious phony and a demonstrable unaccomplished fraud.

What has he EVER freaking accomplished? I’m tired of all of the hot air.

“...it is Reid and Pelosi who are in charge.”

Don’t be so sure. I doubt that a Chicago politician (or his staff) now the titular head of the party, raised on Alinsky’s “Rules For Radicals” will stand by and allow others to usurp his power.

I would venture to say:

As much as Nixon
As much as Kennedy
As much as Bush 41
As much as Clinton
As much as Carter.

Succeed? Succeed at what? Succeed at destroying this country, succeed in raising taxes, succeed in entrenching the idea that half this country should be forced to pay the price of welfare issues? Maybe we should rejoice when this communists asshat destroys our military and ability to defend our country from his islamic friends? I don’t want this idiot to succeed at anything.

Yep...Logic has been inflicted with a sad case of BDS. Someone didn’t do his homework or independent study. It does help to recognize propaganda when it is shoveled your way.

That is exactly what I am hoping for : ) War! If they are able to get together and do anything we are screwed.

The Republicans got together with the Democrats and gave everyone everything that they wanted and that is why we are in this financial meltdown right now.

I want the country to stay safe but isn’t it ironic that the cities which voted for him like NY,Chicago, DC, etc are probably targets on the Islamic nutcases radar

I want him to succeed only in ways that help America. That’s it, everything else, I hope he falls on his face.

In simple terms, you want him to fail in every item on his agenda. I want the same.

I certainly hope he fails as a president and his agenda goes down in flames along with people waking up from zombie cult mode.
