As a general response, I would say, first, "Chill, he's been in office for ten days."
Sitting on my *** no, hoping he will fail yes. I did not vote for him and just like the people who did not vote for Bush they hoped for his failure.
You are right. A lot of people were hoping Bush would fail, and fail he did. So how's that working out? I don't the think the USA or the world can afford eight more years of failure.
I was no Bush fan, as many Americans were not. Do you think that the people who opposed President Bush in America were really sitting around thinking to themselves, I hope this Iraq war and Afghanistan mission get really F'd up with lots and lots of casualties, so we can all gloat over his failure?
That would be really sad, wouldn't it?
You know, it is possible to disagree with him, to fight his policies (as is your right) and hope that he succeeds, because this won't just be his failure. A lot of jobs and hopes are on the line at this moment. Dude, you're an American citizen -- by all means get up and challenge your President.
But I am just saying we have never seen this kind of activity for any other president. If we have I will eat my hat, I have been wrong before and am not afraid to admit when I am.
No need to eat your hat. I'm sure we haven't seen anything quite like this anywhere in the West, but don't count on it lasting. There is a wonderful naivete to the low-maintenance liberalism that is being practiced at the moment. It will dissolve the instant people discover that they might have to sacrifice in order to succeed. For instance, right now in America, there are probably thousands of motorists sporting an "I (heart) Obama" bumper sticker.... on their SUVs, which they drive in the city. Believe me, they'll cool off quick enough.
But let’s look at the similarities between him and some other famous leader.
1) Obama is all for Gun bans I know I am a gun owner from Illinois.
OK, but he's only going to be able to pry them from your cold, dead hands, so what's the problem?
On a more serious note, I love how people bring up banning guns when they talk about Hitler instead of, say, exterminating twelve million people, or, I dunno, starting a world war. Comparing Obama (or Bush) to a facist killer is what people do when they've run out of meaningful things to talk about. Unless there's a big oven purchase in the stimulus bill, I don't think that kind of talk is helpful or appropriate.
I would also remind you that Obama has something that Hitler didn't -- the United States Congress. If he launches a major gun bill in Congress during the first hundred days, I'll halfway agree with you in that gun control is a much lower priority than peace and economic recovery.
2) Kids are singing songs TO him, you think these kids know what Obama stands for they are what 10 at the most, this is indoctrination.
Indoctrination, yes. At the behest of adults. The adults are exploiting the kids. The state itself has not ordered the children to sing. Regardless of who is in power, school children are constantly being hypnotized with BS because adults are mostly terrified of exposing children to our failures.
Media control and fear of speaking out about him, how many Leno jokes have you heard???
Leno and Letterman are afraid of Obama? Seriously, is that the watermark for public discourse?
Give it time. The jokes will come.
