Epic Failure

Back in January, Rush Limbaugh created apoplexy in the media, the Democratic party, and half of the Republican party by saying that he hoped Obama's presidency fails. I know that he's an entertainer and I didn't make a big deal of it...plus if you listen to the entire clip, I kind of agree with him.



You don't have to agree with his statement, but let's all agree on two things: 1) the backlash to his comments was overdone political opportunism, and 2) his ratings go up every time the left has a fit over something he says, so he doesn't care if you're offended. And again, the man is only a talk show host, even if he's right sometimes.

Fast forward to last week at the White House Correspondent's dinner when Wanda Sykes, an admittedly talented if acerbic comic, had some jokes about race, terrorism, drug addiction, and what she'd like to see happen to the President's critics.



Rather that being shocked, or at least maintain a sense of decorum, my President laughed at these crude remarks. So do you still want a President who thinks, terrorism, drug addiction, and kidney failure is funny, do you? Well I can't speak for hope, but this is a change, I'll give you that.
