A good Point/Counterpoint in the matter of whether we wish Obama success.
POINT:
I think any new President receives a certain amount of goodwill from the country. That is an American tradition. Even Rove said that it is important for this Presidency to be a successful one… because it matters to our country right now.
I felt this way about Bush when he took over after those awful last years of Clinton. It’s a pity that Bush had to start with the Florida mess hanging around. Fortunately we did not have that this time around. It matters to all us that this is a successful Presidency.
COUNTERPOINT:
I want the country to be successful under this President. There is a difference.
I'm a Counterpoint gal.

I want the country to be successful in spite of our new President. I’ve had friends already make comments such as, let’s hope he does the right thing and let’s hope he surprises us. Myself, I’m not ready to roll over and be submissive.
ReplyDeleteI just hope that my friends and I make it through without the ruling kleptocracy getting in our faces too badly, and that no one I know gets killed or injured when he creates an international incident.
ReplyDeleteYou can't negotiate with terrorists.
ReplyDeleteAnd it finally dawned on me that the Left bomb throwers are just that: the terrorists of American politics.
They don't want to "reach across the aisle" accept to stab us through the heart.
I'm not "negotiating" with them...or with their Dear Leader.
