| 27. Hoping Obama Fails Is Really, Really Stupid Politics |
|
Its like betting somebody $500 that your neighbor is sleeping with your wife. If he isn't, you're out the $500. If he is, congratulations, you win $500 but you're still a cuckold.
If Obama fails, the American public won't turn to the Republicans. With 30% unemployment, food riots, shortages, brownouts, limited law enforcement coverage, we're supposed to become more amenable to the message of tax cuts and limited government? With our national sense of entitlement, we won't take kindly to becoming a big Honduras.
We'll be looking for scapegoats, and you can believe that the 45th President of the US will be one scary SOB
