Rush Limbaugh said that he hopes that Barack Obama fails, but clarified his message by saying that he hopes that Obama's policies fail.
Rush is right: we support Obama but not his policies.
1.) Obama's "stimulus" plan is nothing more than pork-barrel spending disguised as a "stimulus" plan. This "stimulus" plan gives Democrats all of the pork that they have desired for years and wraps it all into one package - like $200 million for contraceptives. FDR tried to spend his way out of a depression and it didn't work, something which UCLA economists discovered after 4 years of research. Even Japan tried to spend its way out of a deep recession and it didn't work.
2.) Other Obama policies: no to enhanced interrogation techniques, per his executive order. Obama wants interrogators to use the Army field manual, which would give police officers more power to interrogate terrorists than the CIA would have. Obama's executive order says no to using stress positions, sleep deprivation and even good cop, bad cop techniques. These techniques are proven techniques to extract information from terrorists, yet Obama is so beholden to left-wing ideologues that he doesn't care. Liberals are too beholden to ideology to realize that there are interrogation techniques in between waterboarding and pretty-please.
3.) On January 23rd 2009, Obama reversed the Mexico City Policy, allowing tax-payer dollars to fund abortions worldwide.
4.) Obama nominated Eric Holder to be the head of the Justice Department. During the Clinton administration, when Holder ran the background check system concerning gun purchases, this system broke down constantly, sometimes for days, and sometimes during weekend gun shows, putting some gun dealers out of business. Not suprisingly, when George W. Bush was elected president in 2000, this system was fixed shortly thereafter, and the problems didn't return. It sure looks like Obama has found the man he wants for the job.
5.) Obama even supports getting rid of the Defense of Marriage Act (a bill that had overwhelming bi-partisan support), signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1996. The Defense of Marriage Act protects states that don't recognize homosexual marriages and keeps them from having to recognize homosexual marriages performed in other states.
These are just a few of Obama's disastrous policies.
Yes, we support Obama but not his policies.
Does this mean I’m not getting any pie? I want pie. I deserve pie. I DEMAND PIE! *SMIRK*
Is it 2012 yet???
We support The President, but not the mission, err policies.
I’m supporting Bambi as much as the liberals supported Bush. Looks like I’m going to have an easy four years.
Rush, as usual, defined clearly a course of action which Congressional Republicans should see and follow:
Liberal policies are detrimental to this nation. Period. We can support our president and adamantly oppose his dangerous and harmful policies.
Join me in sending this message to Republicans:

Just as FRD tried to spend his way out of the Great Depression (didn’t work), Barack Obama is going to try and spend his way out of this recession, but it won’t work.
FDR’s policies prolonged Depression by 7 years, UCLA economists calculate

You’ll know when it’s 2012-
Planet Earth will be a-rockin and rollin!
That sounds like "We support the Troops but not the war."
Or is this Rush's point entirely? Is he playing a rhetorical game?
*I* do not support him.
Yah THINK?!!!
hehehe... ;o)
It’s different. Democrats supported neither.
Remember Dingy Harry comparing the troops to Nazis? Remember sKerry saying that our troops were bombing civilians and women and children? Remember Obama saying that our troops were air-aiding civilians?
One does not have to support Obama’s policies when his policies are going to be disastrous for America.
Remember: “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.”
You mean dissent isn’t the highest form of patriotism?
I may be wrong, but is this what Rush is getting at?
Gloom outlook:
Global Cooling with most idiotic and commie system rushing gubmeat!
It sounds to me like the Big BO can't take a little opposition.
What I think is more likely are dramatic gains in Congress in 2010.
