How Much I Support Our President

Quote:
America wanted change and we got it. Apparently the first thing that changed is that dissent is no longer the highest form of patriotism. Rush Limbaugh found that out when he was accused of wanting the President to fail. How dare he not support our President! According to Jon Stewart what Rush said was almost treasonous.

As someone who did not vote for President Obama, I don’t want to be lumped in with the haters, so here is a list of examples showing just how much I support our President:
  1. I support him as much as Code Pink supports our troops.
  2. I support him as much as N.O.W. supports Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
  3. I support him as much as the Hollywood community supported Theo Van Gogh.
  4. I support him as much as Nancy Pelosi supports the Catholic Church’s teachings on life.
  5. I support him as much as Al Gore supports cutting down on his personal carbon footprint to save the world.
  6. I support him as much as John Edwards supports The National Enquirer’s right to publish pictures of his girlfriend and baby.
  7. I support him as much as Western gay rights groups support Mehdi Kazemi.
  8. I support him as much as the Castro brothers support Oscar Biscet’s right to free speech.
  9. I support him as much as Ted Kennedy supports renewable wind energy off the coast of his summer mansion.
  10. I support him as much as Bill Clinton supports Hillary’s ambitions for higher office.
/snip

I hope that clears everything up. Now could someone please tell what time the oceans are going to start receding because I’d really hate to miss that one.

I agree. Now can I get off Nonno and Andy's lists as a hater?

The only example that needs to be cited is:

I support Obama as much as the Left supported George Bush.

There's a difference between supporting a President and wanting him to fail. You obviously wouldn't support his decisions if you disagree with them. But a lack of support for someone is NOT the same as wanting him to fail. They are two entirely different definitions and the fact that this article is trying to tie them together is just stupid (but what can you expect from a blog?).

Every American should want their President to succeed, because it's in the best interest of the country, let alone your best interest. Do we really want a repeat of the Great Depression? Do we want to lose wars or have the country collapse under its own weight? I think not! So if these are possible consequences of hoping a president fails, why would you wish that upon yourself and your neighbors?

It's not about political parties. That's what alot of you don't understand. No party is always right. Each party is probably "more correct" around 50% of the time. Maybe one party can land up to 60-65% (random #) at one point in time, but it always bounces around back and forth. Obama isn't that bad, he's actually smarter than most people who are posting in here that think they're brilliant. Rooting against him and hoping we fail, just so your party can start winning seats over the next 4 years, is just stupid. End of story.

Oh and before I forget, we all know Limbaugh is a racist moron. Oh well. I don't even think he tries to hide the fact that he's racist. But who cares? Get over it and just don't listen to him, Demmies.

Actually, I hope the entire Donk agenda of socialism fails. If Republicans support socialist policies, I hope they fail too. What most Donks don't understand is support shouldn't be blind to a party. That's one of the reasons the Depression lasted ten years longer than it should have. But our brilliant President wants to enact the same policy. No, I disagree with a policy that has never worked. And I hope the President fails in enacting failure.

I want what's best for the American people, not the American government. Government is subservient to the People, not the other way around.

1. How will repeating the polices that allowed FDR to keep the country in a depression be good for the country?
2. What part of Soetoro's "stimulus" bill will do anything other than entrench the Democrats in power for years to come? (again, just like FDR)
3. Why do you consider Limbaugh to be a racist?

1) Don't know. I'm not necessarily a fan of what he's doing and I don't know if it'll work. Regardless, I really hope it does work since we're stuck with it whether we like it or not. I want this country to be fixed as soon as possible and not root against the guy and hope for 4 more years of failure that we can't afford.
2) Don't see how it can entrench the Dems in power. We get elections every couple years. If they screw up, we get someone else. The GOP was blamed for the economic woes because they were in power. If they get worse or stay the same while the Dems are in power, especially after those massive bailouts, the people will have their heads.
3) He's had various racist ideologies that he sugar coats. I haven't listened to much of what he's said in years, but one incident stood out in my mind. I remember him saying Donovan McNabb was only considered good because he's black, even though he'd just led the Eagles to a few NFC title games in a row and had some pretty solid statistics. Sorry but why do we have to throw race into discussion about a QB? He can't even discuss sports (which was his job at the time) without getting into race. Spare me.

FDR's economic policies (public works projects) kept private enterprise out of the market.

The Dems controlled congress for 50 years after FDR

McNabbs stats were good, but not so much better than other QBs at the time. He was getting press because of his race, RB just pointed it out.

Spare me

That whole diatribe is completely ridiculous.

Obama and the rest of the Dems (not to mention a few Republicans) are trying to turn us into a Socialist country. Of course I hope they fail - all of them, including the Messiah himself. It is NOT in the best interest of our country if they succeed, nor is it in the best interest of the average American. The only people it benefits are the ruling class.

It does not benefit you, Beta84, and why you would want them to succeed is beyond me. Maybe you think you will be a part of this ruling class? Maybe you were born yesterday and don't understand how Socialism has turned out historically? I do not know. But I do know that I not only don't support them, but I actively hope they fail.

At least now I understand why you all hope they'll fail. Wow. I couldn't buy this type of amusement back home.

If you don't see it, then you are a fool or so invested in the Left that you are blind to their agenda.

I'll say one thing for them: they are masters (ha) at brainwashing. All these things you sheep are applauding, they are not good for this country, they are against the freedoms guaranteed in our Constitution, and they are detrimental to our national security.

But feel free to blame Bush. The Leftist media told you to do that, and I don't expect you to do any different.
