Limbaugh: 'If Obama Fails, America Is Saved'

The Huffington Post | Megan Slack | March 30, 2009 03:56 PM

Bill O'Reilly wants to see President Obama succeed, he says, but Rush Limbaugh is as adamant as ever that he hopes Obama will fail in the White House. During his Monday radio show, he told listeners that Obama's failure would mean the country would be "saved."

"Based on what we've seen with General Motors and the banks, if he fails, America is saved," Limbaugh said. "Barack Obama's policies and their failure is the only hope we've got to maintain the America of our founding."

O'Reilly has a different outlook. Asked if he want Obama to fail: "No. We want him to succeed. We want to persuade him that perhaps some of his policies are not going to help him succeed."

Meanwhile, the DNC rolled out its anti-Limbaugh billboard:

1. america is fucked already

"in order to save the village, we had to destroy it."

[kentuck]

2. If Rush Fails, America Is Saved...

Closer to the truth?

[tridim]

3. Rush the dinosaur, proof that the species had small brains.

4. "...for us to tear the rest of it asunder another day." - Rush Limbaugh

5. If Rush dies, America lives

Racist asshole.

[Buck Laser]

6. I'm really tired of obsession wth Rush.

[FiveGoodMen]

7. If somebody skins that fat motherfucker alive and sets fire to what's left, America is saved.

[Marrah_G]

8. The world would be a better place without Rush in it.

[Johonny]

9. I don't even begin to understand the statement

If we had no auto industry and no banks in what form would America be saved? Certainly not the Reagan vision of America as the worlds leading capitalist power. How can you be the worlds leading capitalist power with no banking industry nor heavy manufacturing?

10. Some on DU are rooting for it.

[Deja Q]

11. Possibly.

I'm just tired of failure, pure and simple.

[AndyTiedye]

13. Only the Freepers Who Come to Visit Us

Of course many of them want everything to fail, so they can be "raptured".

[FiveGoodMen]

14. I don't think expressing disappointment -- or even PREDICTING failure is the same as rooting for it

(And I'm not predicting, just worrying)

[AndyTiedye]

12. The Problem isn't Rush Limpballs, It is Whoever is Giving Him a Microphone!

He should be spouting off in the back of a bar somewhere, not on national TV!!

[PatSeg]

16. And the mainstream media

that keeps reporting on what he does and says. I can't believe such a clown gets so much attention. He never was credible, but people treat him as if he is. He has no convictions whatsoever, he only says what he thinks people want to hear so he can make the big bucks.

15. Will someone please feed that man some highly saturated rich desserts. His arteries can't get

clogged fast enough for me!
