I have been listening to a lot of talk radio lately … one question that is surfacing is “Do you want Obama to succeed?”

Now before you answer the question, let me ask you – what question are you answering?  Do you want Obama to succeed as a President?  Or do you want his policies to succeed?

I think you would be hard-pressed to find someone in the USA to say that indeed they want Obama to fail as a President.  We don’t like to see others fail, and wishing evil on another is not one of our favorite past times.

If you look at what he campaigned on, and what he has done so far, you can want his policies to not succeed, to not pass the House and Senate.  Or you can want his policies to pass and be implemented.

When a question is asked, do you answer it immediately, answering the question you thought you heard?  Or do you ask questions to be sure you are responding to the same question that was asked?

It’s not what you said, it’s what they think they heard.
