That's so interesting. I have a bunch of questions about that, if you'd be willing to flesh this out a little for me. The only other person I've seen lay it out so plainly like that is Rush Limbaugh, and he's not available for my questions. I really don't mean these questions as point-scoring questions. It's just that this statement is so unfathomable to me, I'm really interested in getting where you're coming from about it.

Do you consider yourself a patriot? If so, how does hoping for the failure of the President of the United States square with that?

See, I think if the president fails, the country fails. I think we failed for almost the entirety of our last administration, as a result of that administration failing. Are you really saying you want more of that? Or, perhaps you want us to fall down the other side of the mountain instead? OR perhaps you reject my assertion that if the president fails the country fails?

What does "fail" mean, in this context?

Will "Obama failing", whatever that means, restore the America you know and love?

What will "Obama failing" produce, exactly? What would his failure be useful for?

As opposed as I was to Bush, I always hoped he'd turn things around. All I really wanted from the guy was for him to not be such a miserable disappointment. I never would have said I hoped he'd fail. I observed his actions and interpreted them as failure. But I think that's different. I don't quite know what my question is related to that... something like: your thoughts?

What about rescission? People are finding themselves being dropped the minute they come down with expensive conditions that are supposed to be covered, for any minute and sometimes even fictional reason the insurance company can find.
