Are you a conservative who was disappointed by the election results but nevertheless harbor no ill will toward the incoming Obama administration? Are you making an effort to come together and support Obama, to wish him well as he attempts to steer us through troubled waters? If so, you’re a turncoat traitor, according to conservative commentator Rush Limbaugh. El Rushbo thinks that you shouldn’t wish Obama well because liberals didn’t want Bush to succeed in 2001, which was wrong; therefore, conservatives should get their revenge by hoping Obama doesn’t succeed either, because that’s right.
“Why?” Limbaugh demanded. “They didn’t give Bush a chance in 2000. Before he was inaugurated, the search-and-destroy mission had begun. I’m not talking about search-and-destroy, but I’ve been listening to Barack Obama for a year and a half. I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don’t want them to succeed.”

Gawd, what a crybaby. Say, Rush, there were good reasons liberals didn’t like Bush, and it wasn’t because they were mean, nasty haters who wanted him to fail.
Reply to The TruffleTotally agree. While many of us from texas were really wary of his Presidency, I don’t think the rest of the nation really knew Bush well enough to be rooting for his failure from day 1. Sure, it was fun to mock his public speaking abilities, but it wasn’t until Iraq that the tide really turned against him, I think.
Thanks for stopping by!
