Why Do Republicans Desperately need Obama to Fail?

Why do Republicans Desperately need President Obama
and the Democrat controlled Congress to fail?

President Obama has been President for barely
a month.


He is facing a Crisis equal if not greater that the
Crisis Bush faced after 9/11.


After 9/11 the country unified behind President Bush
and gave him almost unanimous support to deal
with the crisis. It was about country first, not party.


Yet even BEFORE President Obama took office
Republicans, their surrogates and the press have
ridiculed and second guessed EVERYTHING
President Obama has done.


President Obama has asked for input from all corners because
he NEEDS the help of ALL AMERICANS to deal with
this crisis the same way ALL AMERICANS rallied behind
President Bush on 9/11.


Republicans instead of offering their advice and then understanding
that they DO NOT HAVE THE FINAL SAY on what Obama
decides and backing him in a unified effort to deal with the
economic problems are instead ridiculing every decision and
proclaiming failure before the ink is even dry on the BILLS leaving
Committees!


The Country is facing multiple crisis of which any one could
create disaster for America and Americans. Yet the Republicans
seem hell bent on being obstructionists, and adding to the chaos.


Why?


Because the simple fact is that if Obama and the Democratic
lead Congress fixes the many problems left behind by the
Republican controlled Congress and Republican Administration
it will CONFIRM and VALIDATE that the Republicans were
irresponsible and incompetent during the years they had Majority
Control in the Government.


Republicans are not thinking about the Country or American
people first, they are thinking about the REPUBLICAN party
first!


The American people said 'we want change' and that change was
to let the Democrats run things. That Republicans no longer get
to demand it is 'their way or the highway', yet this is
still how they are governing.


The Republicans use the guise of they are the Minority party
and their job is to oppose the Democrats. The problem is the
Country is on the brink of a monumental collapse and this is
a time for cooperation, NOT opposition. So why do it?


Because for the Republican Party to be of consequence again
in the future, the Republican party needs the President and the
Democratic controlled Congress to fail. If the Democrats do fail,
then the Republicans can say " see this wasn't our fault NO ONE
could have prevented this from happening.


However if President Obama and the Democratically controlled Congress
succeeds, it only emphasises that not only did the Republicans not
acknowledge the crisis as they arose but even after they finally
admitted the problem they did nothing to remedy the problem either through
ignorance or incompetence.


So do not be fooled by the insincere arguments that Republicans
are trying to be bipartisan and want to help. They have an agenda,
and that agenda is for the failure of the Democrats, even if it
destroys the Country in the process.

Wall Street Still Doesn't Get It!

Wall Street is upset about bailing out an
individual who was 'irresponsible' and over
extended themselves by buying a mortgage
on a property that had a variable rate and when
it reset it was after 13 plus interest rate adjustments.

It doesn't matter that a wall street type advised
this person to take the loan. It doesn't matter
that a wall street firm approved the mortgage.

No the fault is the unsophisticated and trusting
homeowner who believed those Wall Street types
advising them at a fee.

Wall Street argues that it is wrong to give aid to
the homeowner but whine about the fact that if wall
street firms receive TARP money they have to be
accountable by reducing their pay and bonuses.

The argument of course is that to keep the talent
that bankrupted the Wall Street firm in the first place
you have to give them a bonus to stay. my answer
to that is, where are they going to go? Thousands
are being fired and there are fewer firms left.There
aren't any jobs out there to go to!

No wall street thinks that they are entitled to their
bailout but the ones bailing out wall street are not
entitled to their own bailout.

Main Street must be held responsible and must be
punished for their irresponsible finances, but Wall
Street should not be accountable and should not be
punished and in fact by action of how the TARP
money was used to pay unearned Bonuses, REWARDED!

Like I said, Wall Street Just doesn't get it!
