On January 16 Rush Limbaugh told his listeners that he was invited to write a commentary of no more than 400 words for a major American publication on his hope for the Obama presidency. Limbaugh’s on the air response was “Okay, I’ll send you a response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need four: I hope he fails.”
As a moderate Democrat I was not happy with the results of the 2000 election. Without going into all the ugly details it is suffice to say that the Supreme Court involvement in selecting the president was shocking. Extremist in the Democratic Party obviously campaigned against Bush from Day 1 after his inauguration. However, most Americans do support the president and do hope for his success.
Rush Limbaugh represents a divisiveness that needs to be put into our past. Republicans can be sucessful by offering logical arguments and becoming more of a party of unity. Rush ought to read “Team of Rivals.” by Doris Kearns Goodwin. This is really a sad for Rush since he could be a voice for unity in difficult times.
