Rush Limbaugh at CPAC

Well, I finally got a chance to sit down a watch the speech from last week on CSPAN. It's pretty long and I'm actually listening while writing this. My initial reaction: propaganda, pure and simple. These are the ones who purport to believe in what's good for the country?

This is the same guy who said he wants Obama to fail in the second to the last sentence on his transcript from January 16. It doesn't make any sense to me for anyone who wants what's best for the future of this country to propagandize to the "ditto heads" that our President should fail. I did not support Bush, but I would have preferred for his policies and actions to strengthen the foundation of our country. In fact, those policies did exactly the opposite, leaving his successor to straighten out the mess he inherited.

• Restoring our diplomatic status around the world is Obama's job.
  
• Restoring the strength of our economy is Obama's job.
  
• Getting the military troops and equipment safely out of the middle east is Obama's job.
  
• Reducing our dependence on fossil fuels is Obama's job.

In which of those would failure be acceptable? I would argue that failure is not an option.

Making fun of someone is a classic example of low self esteem. In the first 15 minutes of his rant at CPAC he admonished Obama for using a teleprompter saying, "Conservatives don't need notes. We speak from the heart." as he pounded on his chest. Less than 2 minutes later he not only looked down at his notes, he actually put his finger on them to find his place.

So much for speaking from the heart, blow hard. I prefer people who speak from their brain. Sphere: Related Content
