Rush Limbaugh last Friday was quoted as saying "I hope Obama Fails". Looks like Rush would rather put petulant partisan politics before the country's well being. I read a lot of vitriol on the Hoboken 411 thread today spearheaded by xenophobic, jingoistic and uber-conservative poster Strand Tramp at his bitter best. Maybe the newly declared U.S. hater Rush Limbaugh is his idol. It is amazing how many Neo-cons are vocal on that site given Hoboken's electoral demographics.
I do agree with some of the other posters in that the man has not done anything yet so would should wait and see before we crown him the answer to all of our woes, which he is not nor will ever be. Some of these partisan posters do seem to miss the historic significance of this event and the worlds reaction. Even though I did not like the outcome of the 2000 election, I did give the now departed Bush a chance back then especially with 911. Bush however failed as I expected him to because his policies were wrong for most of America in the long term. These posters on Hoboken 411 can't wait to attack and he hasn't even had a chance to do anything yet.
Here is Rush doing what Rush does best, spewing hate:
