Limbaugh : I hope Obama fails!

People who think like this (and similarly, those who didn't want to give Bush a chance before he got the chance to prove his consistent idiocy) should forever lose credibility in terms of any kind of patriotic claims whatsoever towards this country.

I can understand hoping that moderation or middle ground can be reached with contentious issues that are important to conservatives or others who disagree with his stated goals, but to wish general failure on the President can only equal hoping failure for us as a nation.

Go OD and die, kthx. America needs patriots, not venomous, brainless assholes like you.
 
Oh, and lol at the sadly ironically named website that was posted on. Those fucktards are the polar opposite of patriotic.

Millions upon millions of idiots take him seriously, buying his books and listening to his program. They even allow themselves to be called what amounts to 'drones' ... 'dittoheads'.

Idiots alone are not that worrisome, but idiots with legions of sycophantic nincompoops hanging on their every word can be dangerous.

I had my doubts about how much he cared about this country for a while, but I never expected such a bold statement amounting to as much.

For him, partisanship/personal profit >>>>>>>>>>>> the country.
 
Mmm. I read it, I don't see it as a "wish for general failure".

Looks like he doesn't want Obama's stated policy objectives put in place. He even specifies those policies:

I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don't want them to succeed.

Look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the US government as possible

I don't see it as any different than hoping a specific bills fails to pass.

And your guns too, right? Don't forget about those! And your unborn children as well. Shit, the list just goes on when you're really, really, really paranoid.
 
This is what neocons actually believe. Let america fail (or make it fail and blame it on someone else), so that we can then blame anyone different than us, and make it into something that we like, for the new american century! Hurray!

Rescue the country?

Here's a couple of facts kids:

1. We're stuck with Obama for the next 4 years, whether you voted for him or not.

2. We're in a terrible fucking mess.

So acknowledging 1 + 2 are irrefutable truths, we have no choice but to HOPE that he does succeed, because whether you agree with his methods or not, there is no alternative.

Frankly, I haven't seen dick in terms of ideas from the R side of the spectrum other than setting corp tax rates to zero and invading Iran.

So which is it? Success for Obama and by extension all of us or.....it's banana republic time with 15% unemployment and no money for our military that you guys beat off about every day.

QFT. rush is shamelessly a whiny little bitch.
 
The only mess is an economic downturn brought about by a democratic congress. Obama's ideas will further kill it and that's why I don't want his ideas to succeed. Every economists knows you don't raise taxes during times like this but yet that's what that bastard has been saying he is going to do.

I'm tired of the generalizations.

When I'm asked, "Do you want Obama to succeed?" my first response is not, "Yes, absolutely." It's "succeed at what?"

Do I want him to succeed at nuking the moon? No.

Do I want him to succeed at being intelligent? Why yes.

It's such a stupidly loaded question.

do you not realize how big of a joke you are?
 
Obama has the numbers to do whatever he wants for the next 4 years.

That's exactly what he needs to start fixing the royal fuckups of the last 8 years.

He has my support, the support of millions of Americans, and hefty majorities in both houses of Congress...can I get an Amen?

I agree, as a general question it's not something that can or should be summed up in too short of an answer.

Personally, I hope he succeeds as a President, if the well-being, safety, and financial status of the country at large are the yardsticks of success/failure. Policy-wise, there may be significant disagreements I have with his political perspectives, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt or ever praise if the fundamentals of our country prove to be strong under his administration.

Saying that you hope for the success of the President and by extension, the country, is NOT an explicit blank check to all of his policies and initiatives. Indeed, you can hold strong reservations and still hope for the best.

If his ideas fail then it will hurt your wallet a lot more than it will if he is to succeed regardless of whether taxes are being raised on you or not. You can blame that consequence on whoever you want, but the blame doesn't matter at this point. If you don't think that his ideas will work and do not support him for those reasons then that is your right, but to wish that his ideas and policies will fail when their implementation is inevitable is wishing for more pain and suffering on all Americans including yourself. You should hope that his ideas work for that reason. You should hope that you are wrong. You know you don't have a choice anyways and you also know that you want the best that you can get given the current situation which is Obama as your president and his staff running your country. Time to face the facts and move forward. It is not the time to stare at the past and cry a river. Leave the crying for the next election assuming their is any crying to be had.

Yep, America will be looking awful hard at Obama an Co for the next couple of years, and if things aren't looking promising, it opens the door for a potential resurgence of Republicans, if they're the right flavor. I do think, however, that the age of Social Conservatism is dead. Economics rules the day.

Also, Jpeyton's attitude is a bit arrogant considering that a good bit of the voting support for Obama and the (D) Congress was not explicitly pro-Dem, but rather anti-Status-quo, anti-Incumbent-power movement.

I didn't vote for Obama, but I generally consider him smart. However, I only hope for his success insofar as he meets my expectations for doing the right thing.

For instance, I don't hope he succeeds at the Freedom of Choice act. I sincerely hope that he changes his mind on that. Otherwise, I sincerely hope he fails at it.

In a general sense, I hope he improves America in any and every aspect, certainly. In that regard I do hope he succeeds.

But politically, there are things that, barring a change of heart or mind, I outrightly hope he fails at. Such as pro-abortion movements, pro-gay marriage movements, or other things.

I really think it's a foolish question to ask. I want him to succeed at doing what I want him to do, and to fail at what I don't. No one else is any different, or any less hard-headed. Any notion to the contrary is sheerly delusional.

I don't see that Limbaugh did anything surprising. He expressed that, when asked the question of "Do I want Obama to succeed?" he assumes that the implied question is, "Do I want Obama to succeed at his stated agenda?" The answer is, "Well, I largely don't agree with the soundness of and reasons for his agenda, so obviously I don't hope he succeeds at that." I don't see how that's any different than how we discern our own opinions regarding a president.
