Everyone already knew Bush was going to fail. That was no surprise. He has failed at everything he has attempted in the past. There was no one that expected any different other than the continuation of crash and failure on his part.
Failed in his attempt to win a Congress seat.
Failed to find oil in Texas.
Failed Oil company. Bankruptcy (no surprise)
Failed to win Gov. of Texas on his own. Had to rely on his daddy to practically give it to him.
Failed to win POTUS on the popular vote. Daddy had to rescue him again with his S.C. appointees.
Failed to read preemptive warnings on 9-11 attack because he took the entire month of August off.
Failed war. (No explanation necessary)

Failed economy. Bankrupted the nation and it's treasury after inherieting a surplus.

Failed to intervene when corruption was revealed in the biggest energy crisis in the nations history.
Failed at support for Americans vets by cutting healthcare benefits for war veterans and the Walter Reed conditions.

Failed.
Failed.
Failed.
Yeah, it was no surprised he failed from the very start.
You fail to realize that, although it’s a rarity, you can lose the popular vote yet win an election. The SC didn’t save Bush at all; it simply stopped the foolishness by Florida’s Democratic leaders, trying to switch the definition of a valid ballot, and simply let Bush have what he won outright on Election Night 2000.
And, had the news anchors in the mainstream media not prematurely called Florida for Gore, Bush’s margin of victory there would have been much larger, making a recount unnecessary (the panhandle voters in the Central Time Zone, many of whom are conservatives, would have bumped up Bush’s lead).
The economy, the Iraq War, and the 2000 election were supposed to be the undoing of Bush’s 2004 campaign. But, he got re-elected.
The Democrats FAILED on two occasions to produce a candidate that could beat Bush in 2000 and 2004 (and they’ve been sniveling about it to this very day, even with Obama’s victory).
Wow...I have really seen it all. An American stated that he wanted the President of America to fail...and people are defending it. amazing simply stunning
As I said elswhere, it depends on the subject matter. Many Americans certainly can do without some of his social policies (i.e. repealing the Defense of Marriage Act, federally funding embryonic stem cell research, etc.). Perhaps, on THOSE issues, some Americans hope Obama fails.
The economy and significant reduction of troops in Iraq are the two major areas that most Americans want to see Obama succeed (and the primary reasons they elected him, in the first place).
