I don't want BO to succeed insofar as his policies are bad for America. Other than that, I don't care.
You believe those policies are bad for America.

I believed Bush policies were bad for the US. I was right but I would prefer to have been wrong and see America succeed.

So you want America to fail then?

Way to spin what he said. Why should we support policies we believe will harm America?

And if you suppoted policies that you thought would harm America, then you supoorted harming America.

So you were opposed to Reagan's deficits, you must REALLY be opposed to Obama's; I mean, they are so much larger % of GDP!

to you want obama to succeed and lead us down a road with government in control of health care, the bank and insurance industries as well as the auto industry...or do you want him to fail and let some of these business fail with him?
If by "succeed" you mean a nationalized economy and the end of the free markets, then I hope he fails spectacularly for the whole world to see. Does that make me a Rush Limbaugh clone?

I feel like the questions is a "trap". (If I do not want Obama to succeed I am unpatriotic.)

I want America to succeed. I want America to thrive as a free Republic. I want America to succeed as a capitalist society. I want the American people to succeed by working hard and fighting for their rights under the Constitution.

To me this mess is not about one man (Obama). It is about saving a country that is at risk of losing its identity.

So, if Obama stands for policies to support Capitalism, the Constitution, and the will of the people through a Republic society - I hope he succeeds. If not, I cannot say I hope Obama succeeds in changing the core values of the United States. There may be some policies of his I will agree with but policies that deter the US from success I will not support.

Yes, laughable indeed.

I thought it was hilarious when pro-war people fumed over anti-war Americans because of bad policies regarding a meaningless war which did nothing but push America further into debt....The anti-war people could not convince the last messiah to stop that madness.
Hmmm, I want Obama's pro-national socialist policies to fail and I thought Bush's stupid war in Iraq was a monumental boondoggle and waste of American money and lives. What does that make me?

What if they don't, will you then start voting democrat. (If you already do, I apologize). :)

If Obama institutes policies that revitalize the free markets, reduce the size and scope of government, and return dignity to all people regardless of race, creed, color, orientation or stage of development, then I hope he is a shining success. The precedent he has set does not bode well for that to happen. If he continues on this path, I hope the scope of his failure exceeds even that of Jimmy Carter.

Guess you missed post #8.

#8 was posted by me, and i fully stand behind it.
The republicans can dissent all they want, but when they start praying for the President (and therefor the country) to fail, that is treason.



And mistaking Obama for a center-right politician is only a mistake that a foreigner can make.

Actually, on the world stage, center right is exactly what he is. Only in the skewed vision of the USA is he considered left wing at all.
