Why do Republicans fear the success that President Obama brings? (rating, party)

[LexusNexus]

Since this great man has been inaugurated, Republicans have done nothing but be unreasonable in obstructing this President. What are they afraid of? Could his plans for the country be any worse than the disaster that Republicans represented for 8 horrific years of George Bush? Are they so afraid of the enormous SUCCESS that they know this man can bring, that being unreasonable, petty, trite obstructionists is the only way they can feel relevant?

An excellent question, A_Lexus. I'll be curious to read what these Republicans have to say for themselves. As always, great thread!

[SourD]

lmao. Someone is drunk on their koolaid

Since when has the other party not obstructed their opponents?

Neither party plays well in groups. To put things in perspective, Obama's approval rating and Bush's approval rating after one term are roughly the same.

How can one fear something they have never seen?

This tripe again?

[never-more]

What are the successes Obama has done, A_Lexus?

[Hot_Handz]

I guess you can use the word "failure" interchangeably with success....depending on who you ask.

Posts from the OP and the likes read like some motivational speaker at a self help seminar.

It's nauseating

I'm not a Republican but I haven't seen anything resembling success come from Obama or anybody in his administration. Somebody please clue me in here. I must have missed something.

Great man??? Bhhwahahahahahaha!! Ok.

He's been very successful at spending beyond our means, driving the national debt through the roof to the tune of 4 trillion more since his immaculation. He's very successful at reading from his teleprompter. He's very successful at dividing the nation with his class warfare rhetoric. The man is a failure and the sooner he's gone the better off we'll be.
