@old europe,
This whole Rush wants Obama to fail outcry is nonsense. I in fact posted an opinion on this forum similar to what Rush said about this, before he said it. I heard him say it and understood perfectly what he meant. It is you guys problem, you have people recording everything he says, looking for a flaw, and then try to manufacture some kind of a problem, when there is none. If you had any common sense, you would figure it out without trying to twist something out of context and manufacture something.
I don't want Obama to fail, nor does Rush, solely because he has "Democrat" listed as party, it is his policies that we want to fail, because we do not believe they are beneficial. This is so simple, I seriously question your brain power.
Contrast this with Bush, I honestly believe some leftists, not all, but some really want the U.S. to lose wars, including the one in Iraq, so that Bush would fail. I would never dream of doing that, and if Obama chooses to sincerely fight terrorism, somehow I doubt he will, but if he does, I would not want him to fail, never.
