Gingrich: "You're irrational if you don't want the new president to succeed. ... I don't think anyone should want the president of the United States to fail; I want some of his policies to be stopped"

Rush Limbaugh January 16, 2009: I hope Obama fails. Any questions?

Look for "Contract on America, Part Two." To be followed by endless speculation in the media on how wonderful it would be.

Newt, I can respect that position actually.

Because you fundamentally disagree with what some of the things Obama is doing, that's fine. But guess what? You're no longer in an actual position to, well, do anything about it. And I personally find that satisfying, because if there was anyone out there who would is more partisan than you are, I've yet to actually run across them. You, have been marginalized, mostly because you were such a blowhard hypocrite.

You can most certainly disagree with Obama's policies, but I don't think that you want him to fail, like Limbaugh does.

Presumably Gingrich would like it if Obama enacted conservative policies. Unfortunately conservative policies led to the problem. So Gingrich, and all republicans, are indirectly wanting Obama to fail.

The only way for republicans to oppose the president without hoping he fails is to support policies that haven't been proven to be terrible.

However nuanced, a desire for failure is not going to cut it in America, Newt.

 

If Gingrich didn't have presidential aspirations in 2012, he would be unequivocally supporting Rushbo's anti-American statements.

 

Scarborough, Gingrich, Beck, hannity, Rush,,,are all outdated and belong to last years administration's debates.  They are no longer pertinent or relevant to now and need to be swept aside and replaced by pundits with today's insights for today's people.  They are no longer relevant to the program, just embarrassments we are forced to contend with.  If they disappeared tomorrow, no one would even notice
