While I do not agree with the ways in which Rush puts his views sometimes, I do agree with much of its purpose and content. The idea that many people voted for a president not because of his policies but because he was "AFRICAN AMERICAN" is wrong. This is just as racist as not voting for someone because they were white. Our country was never meant to turn into the catastrophe that it has. No matter who we have in office, Black or White, they are never going to make a bit of difference because Washington is not run by the figures we elect; but by the Corporations with money. And your precious Barrack Obama is NO different. This country was never meant to be completely run by one party. It was not until the democrats took control of both the house and the senate during the last term of the Bush administration, that our economy began the downward spiral that it has. MS. Sykes was way off in what she said, she did not even quote Rush correctly. People like you think Obama is the Great Black Hope. He's just another politician. I am not a hate spewer. It's just that people are tired of paying for those who will not pull their own weight in this country. Resulting in people like me paying more in taxes to pay for generations of people who will not work; wanting everything handed to them. WE ARE TIRED OF IT!!!
It's easy to blame Bush for the decisions that the Democrats have made on capital Hill over the last 6 years. Because that is the spin that the media has put on the whole economic situation. My tax return was 3 thousand dollars less this year than last, thanks to your Great Black hope! I hope the people on the welfare line enjoy my hard earned money!
