The Republican party has made it clear that their intention is to try and destroy Obama, even if it means destroying the economy and larger nation in the process. It's all about ideology, and they have made the decision that if Obama succeeds, then Liberalism wins... because for decades we'll be able to contrast the destruction of Bush versus the success of Obama.
The thing is.. their strategy might have worked against Hillary Clinton. Against Obama? Sorry.. nah gunna happen. Americans actually like Obama..
It still seems weird to me that Republicans would rather just oppose anything and everything rather than seem a part of the solution. They've made a huge gamble. If it doesn't work for them, they are done... and it destroys everything that conservatism stands for..
And keep in mind.. Obama is very young.. he's going to be around for a long time after his term(s) end.
Sully actually get's it..
I have to say even I am a little taken aback by the force of the Republican assault. Even in a downturn as swift and alarming as this one, even after an election that clearly favored one approach over another, even after the most conciliatory efforts by an incoming president in memory, these people have gone to war against the president. The president should stay cool. The rest of us should realize what motivates the GOP: the opportunism of selective ideology.
Of course, he would say this isn't true "conservatism".. He's wrong.
