I did not vote for President Barack Obama. I am not a Democrat but a Republican. That being said, I do not hope, wish, pray or cross my fingers and say “I want “MY” President to fail.”
Failure isn’t an option.
To utter such words to me is akin to “Treason.”
Yes you can mince the words and play with the meaning of wanting him to fail, but at the end of the day to say it out loud or in private is the must un-American thing I have ever heard. Sure you have the right to say what you want, and I will, painfully and unequivocally defend that right. However, at the same time I want you to know that wishing such thoughts on our President on our nation is disowning your heritage as a citizens of the America. You are in essence saying you want this great country to collaspse!
If this is your visceral wish, then why not leave the country and set-up shop somewhere else? But you want. Why? Because you know you can say and wish these evil un-American thoughts that are protected under the consituation of a nation whose leader you want to fail.
This country may not be perfect and some of our leaders flawed, but appreciate the ones who are trying to get things back on track. As for the other leaders, take them to task if you will _ for the mistakes they have made. But do not utter words that I would expect our enemies who are treacherous and evil to say. To do otherwise likens you to them.
As the saying goes “history will judge”. How will history judge us, once this financial crisises ends? Will it be kind or will it say when we had a chance to be great and stand together we failed short because of our own dalliances
