I actually disagree with Rush.
2009 was a bountiful year for the Democrats in Congress & the WH. Not one was hungry, not one has yet lost his/her prestige and power, or medical benefits, or travel perks, or, paid servants, or deluxe office space, valet parking or the privilege of looking down on the American people, to insult them and then take from them - their liberty.
I would say it was a bumper year for Democrats.
