Rush Reaffirms, "I want and hope Obama fails"

During yesterday's show, Rush Limbaugh reaffirmed his statement, "I want and hope Obama fails". The mainstream media is so in the tank for Obama that they can not distinguish between Obama passing his policy agenda and the success of the United States of America. To the mainstream media, they are one and the same. By defeating Obama's policy proposals, i.e. socialized medicine, Rush believes the country will be better off. This is a simple proposition. Only a bias mainstream media, as well as people who get their news from it, can read it any other way.

If the latest polls are to be believed, Americans agree with Rush, they just don't know it.

RUSH: I want to go back to January 16th on this program. I want you to listen to my whole notion on "I want and hope Obama fails." The reason Obama is having big trouble with his policies right now is just as I warned you. He was elected on platitudes; he was elected on feelings; he was elected on atmospherics and cult-like things, not specifics. So here come the specifics, and the specifics Obama's pushing don't match any of his rhetoric. We were going to get rid of all the angst; we were going to get rid of all the arguing; we were going to get rid of all the racism, and now look at us. The polarization is as it's always been and I told you it would be. I predicted all of this, but here's what I said about I wanted Obama to fail.

RUSH: 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 US 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.
