http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_011609/content/01125113.guest.htmlhttp://thinkprogress.org/2009/01/22/limbaugh-ankles-obama-black/LIMBAUGH: We are being told that we have to hope he succeeds, that we have to bend over, grab the ankles, bend over forward, backward, whichever, because his father was black, because this is the first black president. Limbaugh told his listeners that he was asked by “a major American print publication” to offer a 400-word statement explaining his “hope for the Obama presidency.” He responded: 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. I've got to say...I actually applaud his honesty. Beyond that...man, this guy is stupid. Anytime he talks about race, he ends up with his foot in his mouth....remember the McNabb comments? He also one of the forefathers in the massive rift we have amongst our people...that rift has always existed, I know, but I think he's brought the hate to a whole new level. When Bush got elected, I didn't like him, but I never once thought 'I hope this guy mires us into two wars and racks up debt like a junkie.'

Since the President doesn't agree with the reactionary policies of Limbaugh, old Rush would rather seem him fail, dragging the country down along with him. Sort of like burning down an apartment building, killing all the residents, because one of the tenants doesn't agree with some of your views.
Limbaugh is a national joke. He gets rich spewing his bile and hate and will keep on doing so as long as someone is willing to pay him the big bucks. I choose to ignore this pathetic imbecile.

A little more context here, in transcript from Fox News' "Hannity" show: HANNITY: "Coming off record-ratings year for you, but you — you are a passionate conservative. You've defined conservatives for many people in this country for years. He represents the antithesis in terms of his world view. So then the question becomes, do you want him to succeed?" LIMBAUGH: "Now — this — I am so glad that he asked me that question. That you asked me this question." HANNITY: "I'm glad to." LIMBAUGH: "I'll tell you why. I am hearing many Republicans say that — well, we want him to succeed and prominent Republicans. Yes, we wanted — they have laid down. They have totally — they're drinking the Kool- Aid, too. They have no guts to stand up for what their beliefs are because they're afraid of criticism, they're afraid of being called racists, they're afraid of not having gotten with the program. Now success can be defined two ways. I said earlier I don't know about this guy. I really don't. I've got my — I've got my suspicions, and they're pretty close to convictions, but we're going to have to wait to see what he does. Now if he turns out to be a Reagan, if he adds Reagan to his recipe of FDR and Lincoln, and if he does cut some taxes." HANNITY: "Yes." LIMBAUGH: "If he does not eliminate the Bush tax cuts, I would call that success. So yes, I would hope he would succeed if he acts like Reagan, but if he's going to do FDR, if he's going to do the new, new deal all over which we will call here the raw deal, why would I want him to succeed? Look, he's my president. The fact that he is historic is irrelevant to me now. It matters not at all. I — if he is going to implement a far left — look it. I think it's already decided. $2 trillion in stimulus? The growth of government. I think the intent here is to create as many dependant Americans as possible looking to government for their hope and salvation. If he gets nationalized health care, I mean, it's over, Sean. We're never going to roll that back. That's the end of America as we have known it because that's then going to set the stage for everything being government owned, operated, or provided. Why would I want that to succeed? I don't believe in that. I know that's not how this country is going to be great in the future, it's not what made this country great. So I shamelessly say, no, I want him to fail, if his agenda is a far- left collectivism, some people say socialism, as a conservative heartfelt, deeply, why would I want socialism to succeed?" http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,481484,00.html

so let me get this right... If Obama doesn't do, act, say and think like Limbaugh thinks he should, then limbaugh hopes he fails?
Do I have that right?
Limbaugh is an idiot!

Yes I have looked around, but one man is not going to turn the country around. Just as it is not entirely Bush's fault for where we are today. It is the American people that are going to turn things around IMO. Another stimulus check isn't going to turn things around - it's just more of the same garbage; the same garbage that the dems ripped Bush for. Hope is not going to turn this country around - hard work and responsibility for one's self is going to be what turns this country around, IMO.
And I must say, I do agree with Rush about the taxes and nationalized health care. I don't want Obama to fail, but in the context he is speaking I DO want Obama to fail in raising taxes and nationalizing health care. Other things I want him to succeed at.

Actually, I believe that quote came from Phil, he didn't do a very good job of marking where his commentary started and the other ended. Of course Phil thinks EVERYONE is stupid so, does that part even matter? 
First, I have no love for Limbaugh, the guy is a cartoon.
However, I hope Obama "fails" with a lot of the plans in his platform that he campaigned on. Those things will be horrible for this country if he succeeds.
I see nothing wrong with voicing my opposition to his "plans". It doesn't mean I want him to have a failed presidency.
Of course, the Obamamaniacs, as witnessed above, will have a total cow over this and not look at what is really being said.

I didn't see where he talked about race at all Phil. I do, however, see where he talks about hoping Liberalism fails.
And while it is in everyone's best interest that this presidency is a roaring success, I can completely get behind his point in that I hope it is a failure in the sense that I hope the liberalism fails.... which is precisely what Rush says. I don't want another 57 government spending programs that manage to only waste more money than I could possibly imagine... I want a return to true conservatism. I want Obama to fail in the sense that I want his socialistic ideas to fail... which is, again, what Limbaugh is saying.
I think too many looked at the (to borrow the term) Drive-By Media title and didn't actually read what was said in the context it was said and as a result jumped to their conclusions a little quickly.

Thats how I see it as well.
If Obama gets his way he's going to spend more money then necessary and if thats the case I hope he fails as well. One president doesn''t make or break this country, one never has and it won't start now, so the "if he fails, the country fails" stuff is nonsense.
Not a big fan of Limbaugh but he does say things to get a rise out of people as well as to get their attention and he got it with these comments.
Obama is going to be that blind squirrel that finds a nut every once in awhile, he's not going to be some sort of savior, he is what he is a green politician.

Yes, Rush can be out there, but if you read the context of the article, he's spot on. He wants him to fail at spreading Socialism. He wants the ultra-conservative agenda spread.
You have to read this to react to this. Yes, he's an idiot at times but not for his comments.
There wasn't ONE Liberal who said anything different with Bush in the office...oh wait, they wanted him to fail outright from Day 1. Rush, and I hate to defend the guy, says that if he's going to spread an ultra-Liberal agenda by overtaxing, overspending, Socialized Healthcare and making more dependent on the government, he does hope he fails. I can agree with that because those are things that I don't believe this country needs right now (and some, ever).
I guess with Bush out, the Libs have nothing to do. This is Michael Moore's creatively honest deception where he takes words on face value without accounting for context.
I don't like Rush, like I did 10 years ago, he's moved too far out there but he's not in the wrong on this interview. I bet 99% of Libs felt the same way about Bush - do what they believe in and they'll love him, don't and they won't.

I had to run a errand and expected to come back and have to defend what I said for the next hour or so before i head out for some golf this afternoon..
Quite pleasing that won't be the case.
I too rarely listen to Rush....on the broad points I think he is spot on....he however gets in to too many gutters for my taste.

j/c What many want to fail is what they "label" as liberalism, when in fact, what they are wanting to fail is "The American Dream". Where an American can go out, get a job, own a home and raise a family. Some feel, in order to be "qualified" for "The American Dream", you must have a college degree, wear a suit, own your own business or sit behind a desk. And to hell with everybody else! Bust unions, take away workers rights, stop minimum wage increases and so on....... We went through that period in our history once already. But nobody learns anything from it. What you're really asking for? (even though many don't realise it) Trouble, social unrest, crime (coming to YOUR neighborhood), work stoppages soup kitchens and depression. At which point, your portfolios, your businesses and YOUR families will suffer. So in a way, since so many are naive as to the actuallity of what "they're wishing for", I kind of hope you get it. Don't mind if I sit back chuckling just a little if you do.......

I'm so glad that Peen gets it. I think most of you know exactly what Rusch means by wanting Obama to fail, as in he wants his policies and goals to fail, which are in fact socialist values. Why is he wrong for wanting that to fail? Because let me guess... It's interpreted as wanting Obama to fail because he's black? Of course that's the underlying reason that the majority wont speak up. All you Bama lovers wanted change? Talk to me in 2012. I promise that all change isn't for the better.
I hope he fails to. I don't want to live in a socialist country.

I must really be missing something.
Obama says (yeah, I know, what he says and what he does may end up being two different things) is that he wants to go over the budget line by line and eliminate costs that produce no benefit..... he also said he wants to spend more on programs that have proven successful.
Is that being a liberal? or is that being smart.
I mean,,, if you run a business and you have 10 product lines with each product line representing a cost to the company if they don't sell,,, what do you do?
You cut the product line that isn't selling... and then use those resources on the lines that are selling... right?
Is that being liberal?
I'm with you guys on the spending just to spend. I don't care much for that.
I'm not big on programs that allow people to sit home, collect money and do nothing.. I do understand that there are circumstances that people get into that require some help.. Today, unemployment is high and folks are gonna need some help. The guy that made 10 bucks an hour didn't make enough to save to carry himself until he finds a new job... so he needs that help from us.. I get it.
But I don't like it when I see folks that I KNOW are on welfare and they are driving a better/newer car than I do.
so to some extent I get it.
But to wish a failure of a President seems just out of place. Especially since switching to pure liberalism would be a complete failure and Obama doesn't strike me as a guy that is so stupid as to push for it.
So it's more of the same ole same ole.

Especially when they upheld a "liberal spender" for the last eight years.
Don't be decieved Damon. They don't really care about "spending" per say. But who is getting the help from that spending. Fighting wars? That's "okay spending". Actually helping stabalize our own economy and country? Not "okay speding".
They just pick and choose.

I'm not fooled by it Pit,,, I understand that there is spending that conservatives find right and just... and liberals wouldn't agree with..
one other thng I understand.,... total conservatism is as bad as total libralism. and until people quit with the naming of each and get to work finding the solutions instead of pointing fingers, we will get nowhere.
Time for the childish stomping of the feet to end....from both sides. It's time to get to work and fix this country... and I guarantee you, it's gonna take a healthy dose of both types of thinking to do so.

I agree with you 100%. But it's not going to happen. Unless it's "their guy", they'll do everything in their power to tear it down and opose it.
Like their BS about everybody bagging on Bush for eight years. What a crock!
EVERYBODY was behind GWB after 9/11. This country was as unified as it has been since I can remember. But it's what he did AFTER 9/11 that gave people cause to be leary of him. Not because of his party.
But revisionist history always sounds better. I'd like to see what you speak of. But they'll never let it happen. They'll label it and dog it, even if things do start getting better.
I admire what your lofty goals are. But you must remember, this board in no way reflects the "average American". It reflects more of a "slice out of it". A disproportianate amount of "self proclaimed" conservatives. And you must remember one thing IMO..........

The way I see it, this is no different than the Brady Quinn fans who wanted Derek Anderson to fail.
Inexcusable. This is our country, just like the Browns are our team.

Wow... another thread where Dems think the Rep is wrong. Reps think the Rep is right.
I'll settle it... Rush is doing what he always does. He's not a stupid man. He is looking for ratings from his faithful followers and anyone else who hates Obama. Spewing this stuff has made him into a billionare.

I hope that Obama succeeds ..... because most of his policies fail to materialize.
I strongly and vehemently disagree with trying to spend our way to prosperity. It hasn't worked, and simply won't work.
I believe that the government has a respnsibility to protect the constitutional rights of its citizens ..... and to protect the counrty itself. I believe that the government is necessary for trade and regulation of trade both internally and externally. I do believe that there must be some very limited and specific oversight of business by government. Beyond that .... government ought have an extremely limited role.
Government has taken on this role of trying of more and more trying to be all things to all people since the 1930s. Each generation makes it worse. We are now at the point where some get free housing .... food ..... medical .... daycare ...... transportation ..... baby supplies ..... and some still feel that government "doesn't do enough". Any policies, whether Democrat, Republican, Independent, Communist, Socialist, or the Drunk and Stoned Party that furthers this dual instrusion into private life, and support of certain people to the point where they have no incentive to support themselves will always have my personal opposition.
I opposed the Medicare "overhaul" that went through some 8 years ago. It was .... and is ... costly, with little benefit to most people. This is common among government programs. The costs almost always outweigh the benefits. The spending involved is at a much higher level than just giving people money would be. How should we give people money? By letting them keep their own, rather than penalizing them to give unearned support to others.

I don't think anyone wanted DA to fail, just as no one wants Obama to fail. The difference is, Obama has beliefs that many people do not. I'm not ultra-conservative, but no ultra-liberal either. I lean conservative on most things, but not extremist. I do not lean liberal with much. I'm in the middle, which I think a majority of the US probably is, but we will never elect anyone in the middle because it is impossible for them to break the 2 party system.
I DO want Obama to fail on some things. There is nothing wrong with that.
DA an Quinn are both football players who have the same beliefs about football - win. You can't really compare presidents and football players.
Now, if one of them voted for Obama.....

Totally wrong way to say it Rush, however he is right. If Obama succeeds in socialistic policies...this country will go down the crapper in the fast lane.
Rush is also right in the simple fact that liberalism is part of this countries biggest problem, along with total moral decay.
He should have worded it different, he hopes "Obamas fails to set policies" or he hopes "Socialism fails".
Most people will follow Obama off the cliff if given the chance, if you need to know how smart or in touch the average person is, just look at the countries state or simply go to the mall.

I kinda look at like this ... The " Right " & the " Left " have failed the country as of late ..Folks are trying to figure out who they can and can't trust " Big Power hungry Govt. or Big Greedy Corporate America ??? A simple guy like me just has to scratch his head and say " OK now what ? .. Obama has a tough row to hoe .. Looks like he might have to do battle with a bunch in his own party .. Best to to give him a couple of years before we all start taking sides .. Oh yea , Rush is a Jerk !
