I've been saying this for months. Its obviously that many (not all) in the GOP are rooting for America's failure rather than give any credit to Obama.
Limbaugh started it with his wishes that Obama and America fail.
Wow, congratulations Disney. You made it through three whole lines before stating some idiotic bull**** as if its fact. Great job! You prove once again to be really desiring for honest discussion :roll:
Yeah, I think its idiotic to cheer that Chicago didn't get it. At the same time, I don't think thats rooting "against" America. People felt the President shouldn't be wasting his time going over there and by it having absolutely zero effect maybe in the future he won't make such an idiotic, in their mind, move again where as if it succeeded he'd just be more encouraged to do it again.
Its kond of like in sports. Say your team drafts a QB and you really really disagree with it. And that QB starts stinking it up, but bumbles his way into a few good plays, but over all is just horrible. It gets to a point where you've realized this team made a mistake, we need to get rid of this QB, that you honestly don't want to see him have a few good games at the end of the year because it may encourage the team to give him a big fat contract, when in reality you know the team needs to move on and get rid of him and get a new one.
Some people don't like that Obama's constantly doing these seemingly "fluff" things for publicity, from completely fluff like Letterman and ESPN, to smaller "fluff" like the Olympics. As such, when he actually does those things these people hope they don't work out well because it gives him less ways he and his advisors can delude himself into REPEATING the action.
It wasn't "WOOO! ****'em, we don't want the Olympics, WOOO SCREW OBAMA, **** America, we shouldn't have Olympics". It was much more likely "Excellent, now maybe he'll see he's not some god like figure that would just show up and make it in the bag and thus shouldn't have gone out of his way to go over there in the first place and won't do such things in the future".
And really? You didn't want Bush to Fail Disney?
So you were for Bush's bailout plan? You hoped Bush didn't fail at getting a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage? You hoped that Bush didn't fail at getting the Patriot Act passed and portions of it not being scaled back? You hoped Bush didn't fail at keeping GITMO open or claiming that what he was doing wasn't Torture? You never hoped he failed at keeping our troops in Iraq for as long as he felt needed? You didn't expect that the tax cuts were going to help all classes of people and be a benefit to the economy and revenues, thus wanting them to remain in place? You never wanted him to FAIL at any of those things? You wanted gay marriage to be constitutionally banned? For "torture" to happen? For Gitmo to stay open and for us to be in Iraq as long as Bush wanted? You wanted all that?
Because that's the context of what people are saying that they want Obama to is that.
They want his proposal for Health Care to fail, becuase they think its bad, just like those on the left wanted the Patriot Act portiosn to be stripped away, because they thought it was bad.
They want his cap and trade policies to not pass in the same way people didn't want the constitional amendment about gay marriage to not pass.
They don't so much want the bad stimulous plan to "fail" as they fully expect it to fail, and as such would rather it show signs of failing sooner or later to justify it to the people to fix it sooner rather than later...just like so many democrats during the run up to Bush's tax cuts were saying that it won't work, fought against extending it when it was in place, and talked during campaigns of needing to raise taxes because we couldn't "sustain it".
You're bull**** post is dripping with hyper partisan bull****, hypocracy, and utter worthless content from 3 lines in and onward.
