President Obama has a plan to create or save 3 million jobs. But did you
hear what Rush Limbaugh said?

"I hope he fails."


i got an email on my school account containing that. I thought was pretty f*cked up. ANY COMMENTS?

Yup, well, he's extreme right and there are extreme left people who are just as absurd. This certainly isn't helping the country though.

It sure doesn't. But the extreme left doesn't agree with Obama's politics either; they think he's not being progressive enough.

The thing I don't get about the right is how they can tolerate such hypocrisy from themselves. They're all like "DEMOCRATS/LIBERALS/THE INSANE LEFT NEED TO SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT" and now that the president is a Democrat, they're (or Limbaugh, because he's in a very very small minority) are all like "I HOPE HE FAILS." It smacks of insanity. Why would you ever ever ever ever wish ill will on the President? Or hope that his policies fail? I don't think the Democrats ever wanted Bush to fail; I think they wanted him to prove them wrong.

Edit: And one more thing. This part of Limbaugh's statement:

Were the liberals out there hoping Bush succeeded or were they out there trying to destroy him before he was even inaugurated? Why do we have to play the game by their rules?

makes no sense.

Liberals were "trying to destroy Bush" because he didn't win. Period. The Supreme Court handed him the presidency, whereas Obama won. Decidedly. 50-some odd percent of the country though Obama was the right choice on November 4th, and since then his approval rating has been in the 70s. And that's why "they" have to play the game by "their" rules.

Stimulus checks should be sent out in the form of debit card type things so people can't save (the stimulus), only spend.

Yeah, like how they did the digital converter coupons. That's a pretty good idea.

Yup. That's what I mean. He's only looking out for his party, which is RETARDED. (Sorry for the poor use of political incorrectness, but I can't think of a better word to describe it.) That doesn't progress this country at all. Personally, I'm sick of this whole Republican and Democrat ordeal. I really wouldn't mind a strong third party stepping up and taking the office. We need unity, and no matter how much Obama preaches it, he's a democrat, so there's always going to be a certain level of questioning by both sides. If Obama was serious, he should have ran in a third party. I can see why he didn't, though, because he wouldn't have had a chance, and that's the sad part. Politicians are confined to these two ideals. They're forced to take one of two sides. It really wouldn't surprise me if a 3rd party steps up in the next 8 years. I think it's time. They just have to get their shit together and demand they be taken seriously.
