When your new leader Rush Limbaugh calls for President Obama to fail he’s calling for more flag-draped coffins. Limbaugh is the new “Hanoi Jane.”
For the party that created our crises of misbegotten war, mismanaged economy, the lack of regulation of our banking industry, handing our country to rich crooks... to obstruct the one person who is trying to repair the damage is obscene.
Just imagine where America would be today if the 14 to 20 million voters — “the rube base” who slavishly follow the likes of Limbaugh — had not voted as a block year after year thus empowering the Republican fiasco. We would have a regulated banking industry and would have avoided our current financial crisis; some 4000 of our killed military men and women would be alive; over to 35,000 wounded Americans would be whole; we would have been leaders in the environmental movement; we would be in the middle of a green technology boom fueling a huge expansion of our economy and stopping our dependence on foreign oil, and our health-care system would be reformed.
The worsening economic situation is your fault and your fault alone. The Republicans created this mess through 8 years of backing the worst president in our history and now, because you put partisan ideology ahead of the good of our country, you have blown your last chance to redeem yourselves. You deserve the banishment to the political wilderness that awaits all traitors.

RE: When your new leader Rush Limbaugh calls for President Obama to fail he’s calling for more flag-draped coffins
This is of course one of the VILEST and FALSE accusations I have ever had the displeasure to read.
WATCH THIS : http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_012209/content/01125108.guest.html
Sean Hannity asked Rush Limbaugh pointblank whether he wants Obama to fail.
If people even bothered to even LISTEN to UNDERSTAND what Rush said IN CONTEXT. They would understand what he means.
Here is his response to Hannity IN FULL
______________________________________________________________________________________
Sean, he is our president now, and he’s not black. He’s not from Mars. He’s our president. He’s a human being. We’re a country comprised of human beings that the Democrat Party and the left have attempted to arrange into groups of victims, and that’s who he appeals to, and the victims are the people waiting around for some grievance to be resolved. They’re waiting around for something to happen for them, and he is parlaying that. So I think the fact that he’s African-American — his father was black — to me, it’s irrelevant. This is the greatest country on earth. We want to keep it that way. It is that way for specific reasons. Now I look at the things that he has said, and I’m very much concerned that our greatness is going to be redefined in such a way that it won’t be great, that we’re just going to become average.
We cannot have this large a government role in the private sector with so many people thinking that just because they’re Americans they’re entitled to things, that this guy is going to be passing them out, and keep this country great and innovative, full of entrepreneurs. These things concern me. Now my critics, and yours, when they hear me say things like this, they have knee-jerk reactions. They’re not listening or parsing my words, either. They’re just, “Well, Limbaugh is not with the program. Limbaugh doesn’t get it! Limbaugh is not sensible.” He’s president of the United States. It doesn’t matter to me what his race is, what his ethnicity is. What matters to me are his policies and what his plans are, and I only know what he has said he’s going to do based on what he has done and how he’s voted. And in terms of what I would use to define the greatness of the country, he’s not it.

Rush is concerned about Obama’s POLICIES. If Obama’s policies are going tot ake this country on the road to socialism, then of course he deserves to fail.
I don’t know where you are getting your ‘Hanoi Jane’ and ‘Draped Coffins” idea from but you are obviously a liberal troll.

RE: handing our country to rich crooks...

ANSWER: THE DEMOCRATS.
RE: obstruct the one person who is trying to repair the damage is obscene.
Ha ha ha. Doubling and Tripling the deficits and spending so much in just 2 1/2 years ( DOUBLE THAT of Bush’s yearly spending ) to a point where we exceeded our debt ceiling, got downgraded, and now is demanding that we continue to increase our spending, is called “repairing the damage” in your warped reasoning. What we need is more people who think and vote like you and we will accelerate the process of being like Greece.
