They spent the last eight years engaged in a disgusting orgy of divisive political hatred. When we asked them to unite for the country it was in the course of a shooting war with an enemy who would like to kill us all. They told us to stuff it.

Democrats spent the last eight years blackmailing the country: give us power or we will destroy America. We’ll stab the troops in the back, leak classified intelligence, block George Bush at every turn, loudly protest and bring things to a halt, do our best to drive the economy into the ground and make this country a smoldering ruin until you let us win.

I laugh at every stumble Hussein makes, applaud his mistakes and cheer his enemies. I want him to spend the next four years cowering in a corner while our economy crashes and burns and our enemies kick his bony ass. I want him to leave office a broken man. And I want every disloyal asshole who voted for him to share his pain. These rotten bastards poisoned the well for the last eight years, and I want them to choke on it now. *No* bipartisanship, *no *compromise, *no* surrender *

We must create doubt. Question his judgment. Support his opponents. Ridicule his errors. Mitigate his successes with suggestion of unintended consequences. Refuse to praise his work. Challenge his advocates when they advocate; don’t let them own the conversation.

Speak to personal liberty; it’s fertile ground.

Ditto.

Let him keep talking like this. As he slips in the polls and more people turn into those that are part of the crowd he insults, his unpopularity will begin to feed on the stupid things he says.

I pray for Obamas plans to fail in all of their machinations. The Obama plans, and the hopes and dreams and constitutional bargain which we all make to one another are as far from each other as the east is from the west. God bless these United STates of America and freedoms our Constitution yet offers, though growing more fragile every day because of Mr.Obama’s successes.

Hey Obeymao, American Patriots always root for Marxists to fail. Your failure to grasp that concept reflects poorly on you, not on those who rightly hope you fail in your endeavor to remake America in your own warped image.

And flopping around on the floor with your commie-mop is only going to increase the mess you're claiming to be trying to clean up, you silly goon. We all know that, and we know that you know that we know that. Stop pretending that you want to clean things up by ramming failed leftist policies down our throats.

It's like you're trying to clean up a mess with a mop that has been soaking in a bucket of hot tar, and you want everyone to give you a pass, regardless of the fact that the mess you say you're trying sooooo hard to clean up will be 100X worse than it was before you started "cleaning." FU, idiot.

Socialism IS a FAILURE. You need not root for failure when it is a historically proven fact that socialism has failed in its every implementation.

We are praying that Obama will fail in his attempts at the implementation of socialism so that America will not fail as a nation, as the Soviet Union failed.

Socialism is a magnet to ilitist curruption. Socialism enslaves the people it professes to help. It kills.

The only way to root for failure is to root for Obama to succeed in the implementation of socialism.

“What I don’t have a lot of sympathy for are folks . . . “

These are code words that mean, “We have a plan to get rid of those who disagree with us.”

True he is in a position to perpetuate failure.

However, he likely reached his level of incompetence years ago when he became a state senator, not when he reached the White House. Recall he voted “present” 150 times while a state senator. It appears in his first elective job he was unable to make hard choices. Too bad the people of Illinois chose to make him a US Senator, giving him the platform from which to spring to his current position.

Obama was the Illinois state senator who voted “present” 150 times rather than make choices. Obama was the “elected” editor of the Harvard Law Review who did not write articles for the publication.

Other than being elected to three public offices (state senator, US Senator, and US President), Obama is a man of limited accomplishment. For his prior two elective jobs, his major accomplishment was infrequently being present in the chamber. He spent most of his time as an elected official in campaign mode for the next job, not actually doing any real work as a legislator.

Having not accomplished anything of significance, Obama has no concept of personal accountability. His life history is one of standing in the limelight, receiving adulation for merely being there, not for having produced anything with his own mind or sweat. The Nobel Peace Price is another example of Obama being lauded for merely being present. He is the product of affirmative action, not years of labor in pursuit of a lofty goal.

Real leaders, who have reached positions of significant responsibility based on real accomplishments achieved over a number of years, understand accountability. The do not whine and blame, they persevere in the face of adversity by setting a course, developing a plan, and executing the plan. If the plan isn’t working, they admit the need for a course correction, modify the plan, and continue to move forward. When the goal is accomplished, they share the credit with those who helped them get there. A real leader understands she/he is not alone, they can only accomplish great things with the energy and commitment of individuals who share their goals.

As a man of limited accomplishments, Obama has no concept of the satisfaction one realizes when one achieves great things by struggling with and overcoming significant obstacles. He also has no appreciation for delayed gratification, having risen quickly while basking in the praise of naive and morally bankrupt admirers. Just as a spoiled child will not develop backbone or character as long as mommy and daddy are there to cater to its whims, Obama will not accept accountability or assume characteristics of a great leader while his fans on the left continue to applaud him for reading the teleprompter. Like the spoiled child, he will continue to accuse those who disagree with him of being mean. He will also continue to blame others for his own failures.

I have no expectation Obama will suddenly grow up and become a real leader. A man of no accomplishments cannot understand the leader’s responsibility for dealing with the consequences of his actions, whether intended or not intended. Expect more whining and blaming as the road gets tougher.

Obama, you are a stupid little man who believe that Communism works. Communism has failed everywhere, yet you are NOT intelligent enough to comprehend that.

It is obvious that you are a Communist because you have put Communists in key positions in your Government. You have surrounded yourself with Communists since your younger days as stated in your autobiography.

We are not rooting for your failure. You are a failure because of your beliefs, your actions, your poor judgment, your ego, etc. I pray that the Free World survives your shoddy leadership,

My grandfather was a school janitor. He worked hard and took great pride in keeping the floors and restrooms clean for the students receiving the education he never obtained. He was also a patriot who loved his country, family and religion. His eight children all became productive members of the middle class. He paid his taxes and would not accept charity or public money, even though his children had holes in their shoes and there was often not enough food on the table. He was not ashamed of being a floor mopper. He was proud of his country and his family. Finally, he was not a member of a union and would never have joined one.

It is ironic that my grandfather, the floor mopper, accomplished more in his life than our current president. I never heard him blame anyone for his lot in life. He made the best of his circumstances and always conveyed a positive attitude. Despite his low position on society’s career ladder, he was a leader in his church and masonic lodge. Even more important he contributed to the greatness of his country by being a model citizen.

Our current President is an arrogant elitist. A man of no accomplishments who expects the adulation of the crowd but will not accept the sweat and toil of hard work or accountability for the consequences of his actions. He has no concept of the character, quiet dignity, or patriotism of a simple floor mopper.

The mess in question was helped mightily by people like Obama who helped open the floodgates of the sewage from the mortgage industry in the form of bad loans that caused the system to collapse. There’s always been crooks on Wall Street, but I doubt the catastrophe would have been as nearly severe if it weren’t for all the bad loans foisted on the banks by the libs and the FM’s. Obama is basically trying to clean up the mess he helped create. By making an even bigger mess.

In past totalitarian collectivist/fascist regimes,

it was punishable to say anything negative about either the results or the possibility of failure of any plan that the fascist regime was implementing.

This guy is of that mindset.

My reference was from Hayek’s “Road to Serfdom”, written about the English tendency towards fascism prior to WWII.

The left always thinks that the “now” man is somehow different and superior than the “then” man, and because of this superiority, the outcomes of the same policies will be different.

Mankind hasn’t changed since shortly after the creation. Our living environments have, but not our basic being, our abilities, or our moral failings.

It can be shown over and over how the same failings lead to the same disastrous results when people put their faith in humans in positions of power.

See tagline.

“collective amnesia”

At least the great one is using the correct word here:

“collective ”
