Gasbag

Rush Limbaugh is a bully. Weak people side with bullies. Bullies offer nothing positive, only negativity. You do not ignore bullies. You do not give in to them. You stand up to them. If you are smart, you get more people on your side than the bully has on his.

From Limbaugh: Obama is 'frightened of me' by Rebecca Sinderbrand:

Radio host Rush Limbaugh said Monday that President Obama is “frightened of me.”

From Commentary: Is Obama having second thoughts? by Jack Cafferty:

Picking a fight with that corpulent Oxycontin aficionado of right wing talk radio, Rush Limbaugh, will mobilize a bunch more on the conservative right and begin to bring those approval ratings down from 83 percent, where they were before you actually started working as the president, to a more mortal 68 percent in the Gallup Poll taken on those first three days in office.

Sour grapes Limbaugh seems to be having trouble coming to terms with the fact that all the stuff he embraced so fervently during the eight years of the Bush nightmare got swept out the door in November. Limbaugh disagrees with Obama's policies and fears he could take the country in the direction of socialism.

Fair enough -- but to come right out and say "I want him to fail," exposes Limbaugh for the petulant, shallow gasbag that he is.

In December, Colin Powell, who was himself a member of the Bush administration who switched parties and supported Obama, suggested that people need to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh. Does he really add anything to the national dialogue by wishing failure on our newly inaugurated president?

Let me help you there, the answer is no. And in case Limbaugh hasn't noticed, our country is failing thanks to the misguided policies of the right-wing nuts that have called the shots for the last eight years.

Rush Limbaugh has given conservatism a bad name, and he’s been at it for a lot longer than George W. Bush has. At least Bush did do a few good things while he was president, all that Limbaugh contributes is vile bile.
