A contradiction? Not really. You see I want Obama to fail on a few certain items. National health care for example. Those kinds of social programs are the kinds of things that we can’t get rid of once in place. The disasters that are Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, etc. are absolute failures yet we cannot get rid of them.
However I want him to succeed in his disastrous plans for raising taxes, spending uncontrollably, etc. Why? Because in doing so I hope that the American people will see what a failure the Democrat philosophy is. Tax everybody and everything, spend every one else’s money and drive our country into the ground.
The beauty is that if he succeeds in doing these things, he will ultimately fail. Fail in getting a second term. Fail his party (much like George Bush has in many ways) and people will wake up from the euphoria they are currently in over him.
The one area in which I truly wish him to succeed is in keeping this country safe. But somehow I don’t see that happening. He won’t be able to keep Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. He won’t be able to stop Russia from exerting their influence, and already radical muslims around the world are hating on him. His soft stance on terrorists will only make things worse.
Top that off with bringing someone like Janet Napolitano, who is known for being soft on security, in to run Homeland Security, someone like Leon Panetta to head CIA with no intelligence experience at all and what do you have? A disaster in the making.
So with a few exceptions, I hope he does succeed. The only problem with that is it will make the next president’s job even more difficult than this one.
