Did ANY of Us "Want" the Busheviks to "Succeed?"

There's a lot of smoke and furor over the open admission of some in the GOPuke noise machine that they want Obama to fail.

SO?

I wanted Bush to fail, from the first moment of his regime. I worked for his failure. I gave money for his failure. I donated time and energy for his failure. I wanted him to fail utterly, totally, and completely at the job he was installed by the CorpoRat masters to do: destroying the commons of the US, privatizing the Government, and eliminating the ability of the people to resist.

I wanted the Dims to MAKE him fail.

Who among you wanted him to "succeed" in clusterfucking the country for the profit of his CorpoRat masters?

Not me!

I wanted him to FAIL, horribly, totally, wholly, eternally, embarrassingly, again and again...

What about you?

Did you want him to "succeed" in his attack on Iraq? I didn't.

"It sounds wrong...

Well, remember: (0.00 / 0)
He took a fairly healthy country. The baseline was the comfortable acceptability of the Clinton years. So that meant that his projects were all idiotic and destructive, like privatizing social security. When he failed at that, I was relieved.

Example: I would have been thrilled if he'd actually succeeded at actually improving public education, but I certainly wanted him to fail at what seemed to be an attempt to dismantle public education.

But I'm with you the rest of the way.

p.s. I can totally understand both why some Republicans would want Obama to fail - on the Marxist Left one would call this position accelerationism - but I also understand why they're getting killed for it by the press. It's basically admitting that you privilege your faction over the common good, and requires some pretty amazing intellectual gymnastics to make it seem otherwise.

You write: Example: I would have been thrilled if he'd actually succeeded at actually improving public education, but I certainly wanted him to fail at what seemed to be an attempt to dismantle public education.

But since it was never the intention of the Busheviks to 'improve' public education--and there was  nothing in their plans that could be construed that way--but to dismantle it--drown it in one of Grover's voluminous bathtubs--it was always rational to hope --indeed, to act in order to make-- his plans would fail.
