RUSH: This morning, CNN, they have a beat reporter on me. Her name is Carol Costello. I'm her beat. Coanchor Kiran Chetry, introduction to... Wait a minute. This is not about Green Bay. This is about the Last Man Standing. This is about I want Obama to fail. I don't want Obama to fail; I want the country to succeed! I want Obama's policies to fail. But Obama's failure to implement his policies is good news, the best news possible for this country. That's all I'm saying. Okay, you want to hear one of the CNN bites? Okay, here's Kiran Chetry introducing the correspondent Carol Costello, the Limbaugh beat reporter, the pool reporter at CNN, on me.
CHETRY: Barack Obama has inspired millions to "hope," including Rush Limbaugh, only Rush Limbaugh hopes something very different. Let's listen.
RUSH ARCHIVE: Look, what he's talking about is the absorption of as much of the private sector by the US government as possible, from the banking business, to the mortgage industry, the automobile business, to health care. I do not want the government in charge of all of these things. I don't want this to work. So I'm thinking of replying to the guy, "Okay, I'll send you a response, but I don't need 400 words, I need four: 'I hope he fails.'"
