      No that's you Limpy. You aren't the Prez and never will be (thank Odin) but you have said that you want him to fail and if you want our leader to fail that must mean you want the country to fail.

      Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush probably didn't want the nation to fail.

      The fact is, however, that their actions nearly caused the nation to fail.

        Not to worry, Rush is just a out and out certifiable racist. His animus towards Obama shows his deep seated racism. Most of all, his rude behavior when he calls our wonderful President a man child does not reflect badly on Obama, it just shows Rush to be unable to function in any adult fashion without resorting to two year old behavior of name-calling, The guy seems he is so flummoxed that he may just split an artery, he gets so riled up. With his weight problem, that is a very serious risk. Poor thing is to be pitied!

      And Rush Limbaugh is the first guy with psychic powers who still can't prevent his marriages from failing.

        It won't be Limbaugh's first bride -- to my knowledge, anyway -- who actually wants the marriage to fail.

          I guess my t.v., computer was off, but I never caught the name of his new beau.. was it Kenny, or James, or Dennis, what was his name? Why is Limbaugh & beau still in America after vowing to pack up & leave if the healthcare law passed. HEY RUSH...FOOL, h.c. is now law. See ya! Then again, you can't believe in any thing that blow hole says!!

      Who was it that left the country in such bad shape? Wait for it, for it: damn-it you moron it stated before Obama became President. You the one that does not care weather or not this country falls apart Rush. Just as long as you got your drugs, and your millions; and wife number four for the next 2 years.

      In your mind, it sounds like you and Obama now agree on something. You want him to fail and he wants to fail, now there is no need to bash him on a daily basis.

      Apparently there are some deranged people out there who believe your purposely dishonest BS...which proves a long-held theory of mine that there is a segment of the population which passes for normal and respectable but who, in realty, are stone cold crazy.

      But, hey, as long as you can get rich off of them...

      It's such a tried and true talking point because it doesn't have to be based on facts or the truth. How can you prove Obama doesn't want this country to fail? Like you can actually believe the things he says or his actions on trying to get this country out of the slump Bush drove us into.

      Facts are vegetables; they may not always be pleasant but they are good for you. Slanderous lies, unprovable generalizations and misrepresentation of the facts are all fast food; they're cheap and filling, but they leave you feeling void of any real nutrition for your brain. Guess which one Limbo partakes in the most.

      If anyone had the time, and access to transcripts of Blimpy's shows from the 90s, he probably said the same thing about Bill Clinton.

      This is a pretty good example of far-right, black-and-white thinking. Even if America is "failing" or not, it's not because the President has made bad, misguided decisions; he HAS to be ACTIVELY EVIL and trying to bring the whole country down. They make these claims without ever actually hazarding a guess at WHY he apparently wants to destroy the country.

      It's just the way these people see the world, as good VS evil with no compromise whatsoever. Something has to be wholly positive or wholly negative, and it just so happens that everything THEY stand for is on the positive side of the fence,

      They probably expected the war in Iraq to work like a GI Joe episode, and were unpleasantly surprised when Saddam didn't just shriek "COBRA! RETREAT! RETREAT!" the second we appeared.
