Limbaugh: 'I hope Obama fails'
Limbaugh campaigns against President Obama and against America as well?

Radio talk show host and conservative political commentator, Rush Limbaugh sounds dazed and confused.
Limbaugh is known for his insults and diatribes against President Barack Obama.
However, now he just sounds crazy. He says he hopes our President fails. What kind of sane person would say something like that, when we are in such troubled times? Limbaugh's anger is eating away at his brain. He is more concerned with revenge than with the well-being of our country.
His problem with Obama is that he feels the president has a liberal slant that is one step away from socialism.
He has made many statements that are baffling, one such statement being, "Liberalism is our problem. Liberalism is what's gotten us dangerously close to the precipice here."
Conservative Republicans have been running the show for much of the last thirty years, who is he talking about, Roosevelt?
He says that, socialism is "a political theory advocating state ownership of industry," and we see it's starting to happen with the banks and automobile companies.
Well, Obama inherited this mess. I, personally, believe it was former President George Bush that started buying up banks on his watch. Was Bush a Socialist?
Limbaugh also said that socialism was, "distinguished by unequal distribution of goods and pay according to work done."
He likes to use this one in response to the taxing of the wealthy. I am sure he did not think it was socialism when the rich were getting a tax break as the middle class was being destroyed.
Over the last 25 years, median family income has risen by 18 percent while the income of the top one percent—the wealthiest families—has gone up by 200 percent. Much of it inherited and not by "work done."
It has not trickled down, so much for "Reganomics".
He likes to rationalize, what he is doing, by saying "I hate the sin but not the sinner."
If you listen to him carefully, you will realize that remark is greatly disingenuous. The world economy is teetering on the edge; there is a very delicate balancing act going on, Obama needs to keep his eyes on all the balls.
No part of anything can fail, or we all fail.
