Tuesday: He's not done well for the Country. He's hurting us. He's a horrible president and more and more people (liberals and independents - those that voted for him) are coming to this same decision.
Temo: Re: Why would you want the leader of your country to fail??? That does not make sense to me.
Tuesday: You wanted Bush to fail in his Iraq policy. You didn't support his administration's policy on waterboarding. You wanted him to fail.
Saying you wanted him to succeed and then acting otherwise. I'll take your actions before your words.
As for me, YES, I want Obama to fail. I want his Health Care bill to fail. I want Cap and Trade to fail. I want his Foreign Policy to fail. I want MOST of his attempts at changing the US to fail.
Do you not understand that the reason Obama is so unpopular and that the Democrats stand to lose the House and the Senate is that people want them to fail. They don't want the Democratic vision for America. They are rejecting it.
That's what is meant by wanting him to fail. We want Obama's efforts to fundamentally change America to fail because we believe he is taking us in the WRONG direction.
Temo: Re: You wanted Bush to fail in his Iraq policy. You didn't support his administration's policy on waterboarding. You wanted him to fail.
Artful Dodger: No people stated that it was a foolish policy, it was illegal, it was ill planned, Blair lied, Bush lied. That is not the same as wanting to fail, that is honest opinion.. Many people did not want to send our troops into a war that did not need to be.
As for waterboarding.... IT IS TORTURE. If you support torture by the USA then you cannot condone when other regime's do it. It is considered a crime by most if not all normal people and courts in the whole world.. it is considered a war crime by just about every court in the world.
