douche: Limbaugh: Obama Is "The First President in History...Who Actually Wants His Nation to Fail"

http://mediamatters.org/items/201006300049 Rush Limbaugh started off today's show by launching vituperative attacks on President Obama, deriding him for his "can't do" and "won't do administration" and for being "the first president in history -- to my knowledge, anyway -- who actually wants his nation to fail." Rush also compared Obama to Herbert Hoover, but offered one major difference between the two: "Hoover wasn't trying to do it; Obama is." Rush then contended that the entire country is "Obamaville," and that "Obama succeeding does not equal the nation succeeding." Reviving the absurd "slush fund" conspiracy theory, Rush claimed of the stimulus money that "None of it has been spent on jobs;" rather, it is "for [Obama], for his supporters, for Democrats in campaigns this year and in 2011 for Mr. Obama." Rush also lobbed attacks at the federal government for relishing the "political opportunity" presented by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and for acting as "roadblock" to the oil spill cleanup. Discussing the Elena Kagan confirmation hearings, Rush suggested that Kagan has "great resentment" for the Constitution. Rush also railed against Kagan's response to a line of questioning by Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK) concerning a hypothetical question about the constitutionality of a congressionally-mandated diet. He stated: "It sounds to me like" Kagan "may have a bigger problem with me eating an egg than with a woman killing her child." And it shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, but Rush acknowledged that he "may be de facto" "leader of the Republican Party." Here are some highlights from today's show: Comparing Obama to Herbert Hoover, Limbaugh predicts creation of "Obamavilles" Limbaugh: Obama is "the first president in history -- to my knowledge, anyway -- who actually wants his nation to fail" Reviving "slush fund" conspiracy theory, Rush absurdly claims of stimulus money, "None of it has been spent on jobs" Rush: "It sounds to me like" Kagan "may have a bigger problem with me eating an egg than with a woman killing her child" Rush says we can't "let a bunch of theoretician Marxists...destroy...what we've built" Limbaugh theorizes that Obama may want Republicans to win fall elections so he can blame problems on them Rush claims student loans were "taken over by the Obama administration" so students will "promise to vote for Obama" Rush acknowledges he "may be de facto" "leader of the Republican Party"
