Dumb Question of the Month

Yes, yes, yes - let's get down to the meaning of the word "success". Once again, Obama has presented himself as the blank canvas upon which others can project their vision of "success"...just like they did their hopes for change. And, you have clearly delineated the issue: whose definition of success?

Obama is, indeed, succeeding in the first steps of pushing his ideology of a more socialist United States. He is so busy doing this and that and this and that -- we can hardly follow or pay attention to true work at hand: the health care changes and other expansive governmental/societal changes embedded inside the gigantic "economic stimulus" bill. Ah, very clever. So, he succeeds.

Do I want him to succeed? NO. Do I hope this plan fails - you bet. And it will. And as Rush explained today on his show, I hope all the people who thought their definitions of "hope" and "change" and "success" were the ones they were electing - will now see, clearly, what they have wrought upon our country. My definition of "hope" is that the great citizens of this country chafe at the bit of government control and liberal greed and take hold the reins once again in the next election.

Who cares if he succeeds? I want our country to succed, both now and in the future. If he fails, but the country succeeds, good. If he succeeds and the country fails, big problem.
