When Obama fails will the people revolt with torches and pitchforks and tar and feathers?

Question

Will it look like the "Young Frankenstein" movie with the villagers storming the castle with torches and pitchforks?

Answer 1

With the same analogy can't we say that thugs will start rioting, while hip-hop music is blaring from their cars and boom boxes.

Answer 2

We don't really call the White House a "castle" in polite company. ;)



I doubt you want a serious answer, but I'll give it to you anyway:



No one tarred and feathered Bush even when his approval rating hit an all time low. He had the lowest approval rating (20%) ever recorded for a president (that is, the lowest since the pollsters started keeping track) according to pollster.com and gallup.



We made it through Clinton's low of 36% and surprisingly, even the repubs didn't riot when he had an approval rating high of about 64% (sources below)!



We survived Nixon, even when we discovered he COULD tell a lie. No one grabbed a pitchfork and stormed Truman or Hoover either.



So based on the history of our country, I'd say the answer to your questions is: NO! We are a resilient nation, and our sane and rational citizens far outnumber the idiots who would even think of forming a mob to tar and feather our presidents.



Too many of us love democracy and would just use our voting power to elect a new president. And too many of us understand that if things get really bad before a new election is held, we have that thing called impeachment.



Maybe, since the man is our elected president, you could give him a chance to succeed before looking for failure? Maybe let him get sworn into the office and do a few things before you assume he will fail??



Better yet, maybe run for office yourself since you seem pretty confident. I'm guessing you know exactly how to handle the job of president! Run for Senate in two years! If that works out okay, run against Obama in 2012. It's your country too.



It's pretty cowardly to not be willing to run for office yourself when you have all the answers and can apparently predict who will and won't fail. We could use those psychic powers in the White House! Just think! If Bush had your powers, he would have known there were no WMDs!!



I'm disappointed that all these people with all the answers didn't care enough to actually get their names on the ballot and tell us their brilliant plans. Then again, you wouldn't want to get tarred and feathered if you failed.

Answer 3

No, Obama could not do any worse than Bush as our President. In fact, I know people are already planning to kick Bush out of the White House with torches and pitchforks.

Answer 4

Would be nice if some people give him a chance to at least get into the office first



Give real chance to earn some peoples respect....mean the ones who WILL....some he will never by the looks of it



People never revolted with Bush so why would they for Obama,,,



Some will complain until the 12th of never and that is okay too

Answer 5

No... White people are too busy AT WORK to carry on that way.



We would have seen that response from the black community had John McCain won the election though...

Answer 6

Our weapons will be far more sophisticated than pitchforks when the Ayatollah Obama comes for our property & freedom.

Answer 7

When Obama fails? It ain't happening.. a couple points. He's putting together a dream team and has a mandate and a rubber stamp. Second you sound like you hope he does fail...That just shows your mind set so please stop asking these hypothetical emotionally slightened questions.

Answer 8

You know, I wonder what will happen if Obama has a failure or two. This country has built him up so high, he has no where else to go but down.

Answer 9

ah! nope nothing will happen



We have taken 8 years of crap and we saw no torches or pitchforks.

Just a new set of elections



So when anybody fails, they'll just be voted out.

Answer 10

No, when he fails, we'll just be stuck with the mess he made. Hopefully, after that, we'll elect someone qualified into the white house

Answer 11

Obama will do fine, but I want to know what about Micheal Steele what is he up to and what about the GOP...

Answer 12

Will there be justis for the Knoxville Murders

Answer 13

No. Americans are never going to storm anything. We just aren't that type of society.

Answer 14

WOW, you could be a great motivator for negative thinking. I feel bad for you living your life with such gloom and doom.

Answer 15

Nope they will all blame Bush. It is impossible for their messiah to fail on his own.

Answer 16

No.



That is the tactics of the KKK, who are probably all republicans.

Answer 17

no because if that was an option. bush would have been.we know how bad a job he did.

Answer 18

That would be nice, but I dare say there will be much more dead bodies in the streets when the truth come's out.



I expect whole cities will burn, and many many to die for this horrible mistake.

Answer 19

Bush failed us miserably. Have you seen any riots?

Answer 20

This question from someone who calls himself "No Pinheads" -- how ironic. . . . .

Answer 21

Trick question. Obama won't fail.



No pinheads, indeed...

Answer 22

Bush failed. What will you do now?

Answer 23

Sir, follow your own advice, and stop being a pinhead!

Answer 24

Americans are working too hard to notice if there's a failure. That's the problem.

Answer 25

No. But when Obama succeeds the poor republicans will be crying in the corner.
