For the record, if you listen to Limbaugh and expect to be taken seriously, think again.

Rooting for the President of the US to fail during a reccession is asnine. My dislike of Bush NEVER led me to hope that he failed the country. You see some of us put our love of the country and the people here above a misguided hatred of the other guy. He may try to slump this offense off later as he said he "hated liberalism". But that ain't what he said and no rewriting of the facts later will change that. He hates Democrats so much he hopes the President fails the country.

And that is a mean-spirted, horrible thing to say as that dip shit's President presided over 1 million plus job loses in his last 3 months in office and our economy fell 5 percent last year under Republicans.

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.
