Hey John remember when Obama took office? You party had as it's #1 goal not to get the country back on its feet but see that Obama fails. A failing President would not be good for the country but you guys didn't care about that.
you might want to check your facts about that.

The interview was in Oct 2010, right before the mid-terms, not when Obama took office. The quote about a one term Obama was in reference to the elections:
McConnell: We need to be honest with the public. This election is about them, not us. And we need to treat this election as the first step in retaking the government. We need to say to everyone on Election Day, Those of you who helped make this a good day, you need to go out and help us finish the job.
NJ: Whats the job?
McConnell: The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.
McConnell then went on specifically to say that he didn't want Obama to fail, but listen to the public and compromise with the Republicans on the big issues.
NJ: Does that mean endless, or at least frequent, confrontation with the president?
McConnell: If President Obama does a Clintonian backflip, if hes willing to meet us halfway on some of the biggest issues, its not inappropriate for us to do business with him.
NJ: What are the big issues?
McConnell: It is possible the presidents advisers will tell him he has to do something to get right with the public on his levels of spending and [on] lowering the national debt. If he were to heed that advice, he would, I imagine, find more support among our conference than he would among some in the Senate in his own party. I dont want the president to fail; I want him to change. So, well see. The next move is going to be up to him.
