Limbaugh Repeats His Wish: ‘I Want Barack Obama to Fail’ – Rush Limbaugh wants America to know that there’s nothing wrong with wanting President Barack Obama to fail. In fact, the conservative talk show host said Saturday, wanting the new U.S. president to fail is “nothing more than common sense.”

(Is this really all that different from the past eight years where the Republican administration did everything it could to make government fail so that they could prove their point? Proving their ideology is always more important than actually solving or preventing problems. – JLV)

 

Santorum At CPAC: ‘Absolutely We Hope That’ Obama Fails – In an interview with ThinkProgress today, radio host Mark Levin and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) added their voices to the chorus of conservatives hoping for Obama’s failure:

TP: What do you think about what Rush said about, I mean, do you hope, should we hope that President Obama fails?
LEVIN: Yes.
TP: Yes?
SANTORUM: If…absolutely we hope that his policies fail.
TP: Ok.
SANTORUM: Because, well, we, I believe his policies will fail, I don’t know, but I hope they fail, I don’t know. But I believe they will fail.

(That’s right Rick, you don’t know, but you are willing to hurt the nation and its citizens just so you can say, “I told you so.” – JLV)

 

Rush Limbaugh Accuses Barack Obama of Pursuing the “Bastardization of the U.S. Constitution” Just After Limbaugh Misquotes the Constitution – During his much-discussed keynote address at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday, Rush Limbaugh accused Barack Obama of pursuing the “bastardization of the U.S. Constitution.” It was one of the more politically acidic notes in a speech defined by rambling political assaults. But the conservative talk show host wasn’t exactly standing on firm footing. Just a few moments earlier he himself had actually — not theoretically — “bastardized” the Constitution by confusing it with the Declaration of Independence.

From Limbaugh’s speech:

We believe that the preamble to the Constitution contains an inarguable truth that we are all endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, among them life. [Applause] Liberty, Freedom. [Applause] And the pursuit of happiness. [Applause]

Here is the Constitution’s Preamble: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

 

The GOP Problem Solver – Yes, they do have the answer to every problem! And if you don’t like the first answer, just press the “That doesn’t make sense button.”
