Rush doesn't want Obama to succeed with Obama policy.
Obama is the president.
Obama is going to try to implement his policy.
Rush opposes that policy.
Therefore Rush is hoping that it fails and America suffers as a consequence.
Why does Rush hate Americans so much that he would rather them suffer than have Obama succeed?
A patriot supports their country, right or wrong...isn't that the right wing motto? My country right or wrong?

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
During the entire Bush administration, was any liberal commentator ever asked the same question, ie do you hope the President fails? Was any democrat member of congress? Of course, there was no reason to ask because everyone knew the answer was that they desperately wanted Bush to fail, no matter the consequences for the country. For some reason, there was nothing morally or patriotically suspect about that attitude then. Now, suddenly, conservatives are unpatriotic if they don't enthusiaistically support socialism.
I heard Rush discuss this issue on Hannity and he couldn't have been clearer. He wants the country to prosper. He doesn't agree that socialism is the correct path. To the extent Obama wants to go in that direction, Rush does not want him to succeed. That is the definition of loyal opposition and far more generous than the approach democrats took to Bush.
This may come as a shock to the mainstream media but Obama is an elected official, not the living embodiment of the country. It is perfectly legitimate to oppose his policies.
