I don\u2019t really know all the details, but I do want to make this observation. All of you Republicans who admonish me for saying I want Obama to fail, all of you Republicans, &#8216;No, no, no, we want our president to succeed,\u2019 well, I assume you Republicans are endorsing Sonia Sotomayor. I assume you are supporting Obama nationalizing Chrysler and General Motors. I assume that you are endorsing $12 trillion in new budget deficits. I assume that you are endorsing the coming massive tax increases to help defray some of those budget deficits. And I suppose that you Republicans who were hoping and saying, &#8216;No, we don\u2019t want our president to fail, we want our president to succeed,\u2019 I guess you Republicans are thus endorsing the coming nationalizing of health care, \u2019cause that\u2019s Obama\u2019s agenda. It\u2019s what he\u2019s doing. He\u2019s getting it done. He\u2019s getting what he wants. <\/p>\n<p>So if you wanted Obama to succeed, you got it. Three cheers for Obama\u2019s success, right? No, this is exactly what I meant when I made that original comment: I hope he fails. This is destructive. His agenda is destructive. We don\u2019t want him to succeed with his agenda. America succeeds when Obama fails. But he\u2019s not failing, because the Republicans are all, &#8216;We hope our president succeeds.\u2019 So down the road, I don\u2019t want to hear a word of complaint from Republicans who say they want Obama to succeed. I don\u2019t want to hear them complain about the problems I create for them by saying I hope he fails, because Obama is succeeding in installing his leftist agenda, which is exactly what I was saying I did not want to happen, everybody knew what I meant when I said it. But nobody had the guts, or very few had the guts to back it up because they didn\u2019t want the criticism. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: A programming note.
