Default If elected what happens if Obama fails?

I have been thinking about this more and more.

What happens if Obama gets elected and we have a democratic congress and nothing changes? Aside from taking our guns away and such, because that will surely happen.

This is what I think will happen. Republicans will be blamed because they created a mess that cannot be repaired. My biggest concern is that the most vocal Obama supporters will not call him on mistakes if they are made. This will be more detrimental to our country than any thing else.

But I would like to hear everyone's take on what will happen, should happen if Obama fails to deliver if elected.

What will happen if we keep the same destructive leadership that is destroying this nation already.

Personally I will take my chances, Obama is not just Obama he is also some very experienced and professional States men and States women. We need to change more then the president we need to change the leadership and much of the work force in the federal system.

We need people with educations not people with agendas and that is what most of the branches of the executive have become.

Okay like I said, what if Obama comes into office with high expectations and fails?

My fear is that people will no be as critical off Obama as they have been of Bush. That will push our country down the same road will it not?

You can say that about anyone running for president.

I don't think he will fail but then I have realistic expectations. I also know that he won't be alone and this country is not going to fail. The last 8 years proves we can suffer a lot and keep going.

If he does fail though. Do you think the American people will be as critical of him as they have been with Bush?

They will be as critical from day one.

I for one would never want to be president its a nasty job but I'm glad someone like Obama is willing to do it.

You can think up what ifs all day but they are not a valid argument against voting for Obama.

Jesus, no ones going to take away your guns.

There's no way Obama can even come close to the destruction Bush has caused. For one thing, Obama is an intelligent man. Bush is an idiot.

I am not trying to come up with an argument against Obama.

I am just wanting peoples honest opinions on what they think will happen if Obama does not deliver.

I do not feel that a lot of Obamas supporters are going to say what needs to be said. Like I said, chances are they are going to blame all of it on the previous administration.

I am not a nut nor am I paranoid ViolaLee, I am a realist.

I am not wanting to debate the level of destruction. I am asking, will you be as critical of Obama as you are of Bush if Obama does not deliver?

If he gets a filibuster proof majority in the congress, he can do what he needs to do to repair the constitution and end the war and make health insurance affordable and pay down the debt.

There's a lot to blame on the Bush admin, well into Obama's first term. The recession, the war, the deficit/national debt, Justice Dept corruption etc...
