[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

"Because if President Obama fails on the economy, we all fail, and a lot of Americans will continue to suffer."

I question his basic assumption that the economy has to rise or fall on the success of the President - ANY President.

[Piquaboy]

We all will suffer as long as that POS is in the black house.

[theDentist]

If Obama’s plans for the economy succeed, we all fail miserably, and ALL Americans will suffer.

[xcamel]

“As long as there are Democrats, a lot of Americans will continue to suffer.”

There, fixed it.

[La Lydia]

What part of “I hope he doesn’t succeed in imposing socialism on our country” does this dim bulb not understand?

"Because if President Obama fails on the economy, we all fail, and a lot of Americans will continue to suffer."

Where does he get this we stuff? He must have a mouse in his pocket.

[blackbart.223]

"I question his basic assumption that the economy has to rise or fall on the success of the President - ANY President."

You are someone who gets it. May there be more like you.

[Tarpon]

I hope this President is a spectacular failure. Can’t wait until he is holding a presser and the teleprompter goes off.

The Obama-Oprah Shows were a dsimal failure.

[TornadoAlley3]

In 2010, Melancon will be the only Democratic incumbent on the ballot in Louisiana.

[grobdriver]

"What I don't understand are people like Rush Limbaugh saying he hopes this president won't succeed," Melancon said

That's because, sir, you are an idiot.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

In 2010, Melancon will be the only Democratic incumbent on the ballot in Louisiana.

SOunds like the perfect target then!

[FormerACLUmember]

“Because if President Obama fails on the economy, we all fail, and a lot of Americans will continue to suffer.”

Translation to English: “I never read a single word in the 700,000 word Porkulus Bill.”

[Logical me]

What I don't understand are people like Rush Limbaugh saying he hopes this president won't succeed

If those empty headed nitwits understood what Rush was saying, it is Obama policies that he hopes he will not succeed. Lets go one step further. Obama is a thug I brand as a communists with his policy and thoughts, so as far as I am concerned I hope that empty suit a@@ does not succeed. Period.

[chimera]

We suffer more if he succeeds. What was it Samuel Adams said about people loving wealth more than liberty?

I hope Obomba fails miserably. We suffer if that happens. We suffer more if he doesn't fail. And besides, it probably won't take much to have Oboma fail. If the power goes out on his teleprompter, he probably crumbles into a mumbling, stumbling, bumbling failure.

[samtheman]

What part of “I hope he doesn’t succeed in imposing socialism on our country” does this dim bulb not understand?

The part that was completely covered up by the media. The part you just quoted. All the dim bulbs in the media reported was "I hope Obama fails"... and that's all the dim bulbs in the demotreason party heard.

[longtermmemmory]

and Germany only wanted Poland because they needed room to grow as a “stimulus plan”. Should the free world have hoped that “stimulus plan” succeed too?

[Redleg Duke]

It reminds me of “Ein Volk...Ein Feurher” with appologies for the mis-spellings.

[Lurk-know-more]

There be. Most likely, many more that we suspect.

[PhilCollins]

I agree with you. If Obama succeeds, many Americans (including me) will get higher income tax rates. Therefore, I hope that he’ll fail.
