Since Election Night, there has been immense pressure foisted onto the shoulders of conservatives.  Republicans have blamed conservatives for their election losses.  Democrats have blamed conservatives for not being "patriotic" by joining in the throngs of devout followers and the $170 million ascension to the throne that takes place tomorrow.  The media continues to blame conservatives for everything under the sun, from the Bush presidency to the "divisive" nature of American politics.

And now, conservatives are blaming other conservatives for not "wishing Obama well" and for not "hoping" that Obama is successful.  I am not sure what we are supposed to hope Obama achieves.  Should we be hoping for a premature departure from Iraq?  Should we be hoping for another multi-trillion dollar bailout?  Maybe we should be hoping for universal health care.  Or maybe we should be praying for the nationalization of the auto industry.  Ooooo!  I know, I think tomorrow I should hope for the murder of babies who's mothers have decided that they are "unwanted".  I can "hope" that these aborted-yet-born-alive babies are left to suffocate in a bassinet in the hallway of some hospital somewhere.

Is that really what the world wants conservatives to hope for?  If so, let them hold their breath.  Conservatives who believe in, and adhere to, their principles will hardly be chanting "yes we can".

But maybe, during the course of the next four years, we should take a cue from liberals.  Perhaps we should model our behavior on theirs.

When President Bush asked a nation to pray and come together, after the 9-11 attacks, Democrats accused the President of reading to children while the Towers and the Pentagon burned.  Was that giving President Bush the benefit of the doubt?

When President Bush asked for cooperation and secrecy from media outlets in regard to the federal financial terrorist tracking program, the New York Times plastered the details on their front page...warning the terrorists and allowing them to protect their assets.  Did the media hope for the success of the country, much less the President?

When Bush stumbled over words, every liberal to be found called the President dumb, stupid and ignorant, no matter how inarticulate those liberals were themselves.  Was that giving Bush the benefit of the doubt?

When the country was at the height of the War On Terrorism, fighting Islamo-fascists abroad, Hollywood produced a constant stream of movies depicting American soldiers as evil, naive and stupid.  John Kerry "hoped" for an education for all young Americans, so that they wouldn't get stuck in Iraq, and Harry Reid announced that we lost the war.  Were those well wishes for America?  Or maybe that was patriotism on display?

When the President was in the midst of overseeing the Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, there were movies and books created, depicting and relishing the assassination of President Bush.  Is that a liberal's idea of wanting Bush to succeed?

Everything that has ever gone wrong in this universe, liberals have blamed on Bush.  From Hurricane Katrina to climate change to a rise in unhappy marriages...there is nothing that liberals and their media pups haven't blamed on the President.  Maybe conservatives should give Obama the same treatment that he and others continue to give to Bush.

The economic crisis...tomorrow at noon...if a miracle hasn't occurred, and we are still in a spiraling economy, it's Obama's fault.  Global warming...if he can't change the course of climate change...he will be blamed for every hurricane, fire and flood.  And if he can't get rid of those "uhs" and "ummmmms" that pervade his every sentence...we will call him out as an inarticulate idiot.

If I can't pay more mortgage, have patience with my children or lose those final fifteen pounds...it's clearly Obama's fault.

There is only one catch to this strategy...the media.  I have heard the question asked on many talk radio shows, "What will happen when Obama's followers become disillusioned with him, and realize that he can't deliver on most of the things he promised?"  The answer is simple...we will never know.

You won't be told that his policies aren't working.  Tropical depressions will never become hurricanes.  Global warming will see a turn-around, and human kind will be saved.  Events will be spun and transcripts will be scrubbed.  As miserable as your life may become (with increased taxes, sky-high oil prices, a one year wait to see a doctor and a continuing decline in your child's education)...you'll be told that America is a better, fairer and more equitable place...so you should be happy.  H-A-P-P-Y.  Happy.

It will take work to find the truth about the state of the union during an Obama Administration.  The media is invested in his success because they are invested in his brand of governance.  The media believes in government control, as long as they help to control it, and so they will. 

There will be very little talk of failure, no matter what happens.  Because like the auto industry and the banking industry and mortgage lenders...Obama is too BIG to fail.
