We don't want Obama to fail. We want him to change. And since he not only won't change, but is doubling down on what has already failed, it's fair to point out these things.
Failure assumes the negative end state of an objective. I'm not sure what all President Obama has done that's reached that point.

Spence, in 2006 when the Iraq War went really bad, do you not remember how liberals were covering that? They hated the war, the war was going badly, and they weren't exactly shy about blaming Bush.

What's good for the goose...
As I've stated above, much of country believes they were misled, this totally changes the dynamics of the situation.

The GOP hates President Obama simply for who he is, not even his policies really...so much of what Obama has proposed has been undertaken by many others and even Republicans over the decades.

P.S. We could fill the oceans with what you don't understand.
Ohhhhhh good one. You and Scott must be working on these zingers together to come up with such stinging lines

"I did respond to it"

False. You said Obama was too preoccupied with the economy to deal with immigration. I said that a skilled executive can handle two things at once. I just checked that thread. You have not responded to that. Spence, if FDR can handle the Depression, the Nazis, and the Japs, all at the same time, why can't Obama handle 2 things at once?

" I'm not sure what all President Obama has done that's reached that point."

I'm sure you're not, because you won't read that in The Daily Worker or in The Huffington Post. How about this...he added $5 trillion to the debt, and still increasing annual debt by $1+ trillion annually; all that money spent, and unemployment is higher than when he took office; the real estate market hasn't recovered; he promised to cut the deficit in half in his first term; he has done exactly nothing to address social security and Medicare; gas price has doubled since he took office, and I don't know that he has a clear energy policy; the Middle East hates as as much as they ever have; he hasn't done a thing to discourage Iran; his one legislative achievement (Obamacare) is deeply unpopular in every poll I have ever seen; he hasn't kept lobbyists out of his administration, which he promised; he promised not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $250k, yet the "penalty" for not having insurance has been called a tax by his administration and the Supreme Court. He said he didn't see "red" states and "blue" states, yet he constantly says things like "Republicans have to sit in the back of the bus", and that Republican policies caused the subprime mortgage crisis.

Where am I wrong on any of that? Can you dispute any of that?

I give him kudos for killing terrorists and for deportations.

"much of country believes they were misled"

Yes, many of us feel we were misled about the war. Here's what you can't grasp...many also feel just as misled because Obama promised a lot of things that didn't happen...he promised bipartisanship, and he's as polarizing as any President I have seen. He doesn't know how to deal with those who dare to disagree with him.

you guys are kidding right or have an extremely limited memory? Hell, Bush was ALWAYS called Mr. Bush on the nightly news and never referred to as "president". I posted that here a bunch of times. Give me a break on Obama hatred gone mainstream. When a top news reporter resigns because of reporting manufactured info about Obama, then I'll agree.
