Rush Limbaugh wants Obama to FAIL

On the day before President Obama's inauguration, Rush Limbaugh was asked by a “major American print publication” what his “hope for the Obama Presidency” was.

Mr Limbaugh:

"My hope, and please understand me when I say this. I disagree fervently with the people on our side of the aisle who have caved and who say, 'Well, I hope he succeeds. We've got to give him a chance.' Why? They didn't give Bush a chance in 2000. Before he was inaugurated, the search-and-destroy mission had begun. I'm not talking about search-and-destroy, but I've been listening to Barack Obama for a year-and-a-half. I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don't want them to succeed."

"If I wanted Obama to succeed, I'd be happy the Republicans have laid down. And I would be encouraging Republicans to lay down and support him. Look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the U.S. government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care. I do not want the government in charge of all of these things. I don't want this to work. So I'm thinking of replying to the guy, 'Okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.' (interruption) What are you laughing at? See, here's the point. Everybody thinks it's outrageous to say. Look, even my staff, 'Oh, you can't do that.' Why not? Why is it any different, what's new, what is unfair about my saying I hope liberalism fails? Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here. Why do I want more of it? I don't care what the drive-by story is. I would be honored if the drive-by media headlined me all day long: 'Limbaugh: I Hope Obama Fails.' Somebody's gotta say it."

SHAME on you Mr. Limbaugh, shame shame shame. If President Obama fails, we all fail. What part of being a Patriot don't you get? We are at a defining moment in this country's history, not because President Obama is a "liberal", not because he is "black", but because he presents the best in us, he presents HOPE, something this country needs.

Mr. Limbaugh the people gave G.W. Bush 8 years, 8 years to make this a better country, instead, he trampled all over our constitutional rights, left us with a HUGE deficit and two wars. Liberalism? Are you saying that for the past 8 years Liberalism is at fault? Give me a break.

We Liberals won't forget "Operation Chaos" during the primaries, by the way, tell me, how did that little "ego" trip work out for you? Oh, that's right, it DIDN"T.

Now is the time for all of us to come together, Liberals, Conservatives, etc., and support our new President. This country is in the beginning stages of healing and renewal, our new President will need our help.

Mr. Limbaugh, rather than sitting on the sidelines and hoping that he fails, what part are you willing to play in our country's future?

Limbaugh on Obama: "We are being told that we have to hope he succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles ... because his father was black"

This about says it all .... doesn't it
