If you look at what they have said, it\u2019s been their stated policy for quite some time.  Their pope and prophet and Buddha, Rush Limbaugh, began his presidency saying he hopes President Obama fails, so forgive me if I look at this economic sabotage that the Republicans have been committing now for quite some time and think that maybe they have a strategy here.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Economic sabotage.  See how this is getting turned now?  Obama has sabotaged the economy major, big time to the point of pushing us to the brink as a country, and so Axelrod comes out a couple days ago and says it\u2019s the Republicans sabotaging the economy.  And so The Forehead picks it up.  So now &#8212; (interruption) Sanjay Gupta is a doctor, yeah. I don\u2019t know why he\u2019s doing politics.  CNN likes him.  I thought Newt beat Clinton on welfare reform.  Didn\u2019t he?  He didn\u2019t?  Newt did not beat Clinton on welfare reform?  Snerdley: &#8220;No, you beat Clinton on welfare reform.&#8221;  So now I\u2019m a pope, prophet, a Buddha. A Buddha.  It\u2019s Christmastime, is The Forehead calling me fat?  Did he read the BBC story that says this is the time to call people fat?
