In a recent interview with fellow conservative talk-radio host Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh was asked if he wanted President Barack Obama to succeed. The most listened-to talk-show host in the country said, “I shamelessly say no, I want him to fail.”

What a refreshing point of view. Finally, someone has the guts (and lots more of them, it seems lately) to say what many Americans secretly desire – the utter and abject failure of America’s first black president in the midst of an ever-worsening economic disaster.

Limbaugh is a source of unrivaled inspiration for millions of Republicans who wish to see the Democratic Party suffer a humiliating defeat – the likes of which hasn’t occurred since the Carter administration – even if it means the country is worse off because of it. After all, without the onset of a national malaise under a Democratic president’s watch, how else will the next Ronald Reagan waiting in the wings ascend to his rightful place as chief executive?

By bravely displaying such brutal honesty, Limbaugh has set an example for his minions. He has fearlessly shown them that it is possible to live unfettered by the pretense of putting country before party.

So many people have been duped into thinking we have to set aside petty, partisan politics in order to get things done in Washington and get the country headed in the right direction. They don’t realize, like Limbaugh and his “ditto heads” do, that the founding fathers wanted a bickering, gridlocked federal government that accomplishes little to nothing of import. Otherwise, how else would pundits and talk-show hosts make a living?

The superbly insightful Limbaugh has his formerly nicotine-stained finger firmly on the pulse of the populace. He knows that the silent majority in these United States doesn’t want to see President Obama turn things around by fulfilling his campaign promises.

Sure, nearly 67 million people voted for him and he got 53% of the popular vote, but what has he done so far? We’re still waiting for the messiah to turn water into wine, or at least aspirin into OxyContin.

Rush was right when he called this the “Obama recession.” These America-hating Democrats have done enough damage to our beloved country. It’s time to hand the reins back over to God-fearing, free-market-loving, deregulation-championing Republicans. After all, they haven’t had their chance in over 2 weeks.
