Bill Sammon has a remarkable report on certain Democrats desire for Bush to fail prior to 9/11. The morning of September 11, 2001, strategist James Carville and pollster Stanley Greenberg told reporters they didn’t want George Bush to succeed.

Sammon writes, “‘We rush into these focus groups with these doubts that people have about him, and I’m wanting them to turn against him,’ Greenberg admitted. The pollster added with a chuckle of disbelief: ‘They don’t want him to fail. I mean, they think it matters if the president of the United States fails.'”

It does matter, but the country, the economy, and the president are not all the same. In this case, the less Obama’s campaign policies are enacted, the better the country will be in the long run.

In related news, Democrat and culture critic Camille Paglia calls the Obama administration harsh words. She states, “The orchestrated attack on radio host Rush Limbaugh, which has made the White House look like an oafish bunch of drunken frat boys. . . . Has the administration gone mad? This entire fracas was set off by the president himself, who lowered his office by targeting a private citizen by name.”

Also, “If Rush’s presence looms too large for the political landscape, it’s because of the total vacuity of the Republican leadership, which seems to be in a dithering funk.” [via AmSpecBlog]
