Rush Limbaugh: Obama was hoping that Irene would be his Katrina
   
Rush Limbaugh is not exactly a paragon of factual accuracy or moral rectitude, but Monday's claims about President Obama and the media were a bit absurd -- even for him.

On his radio show -- the nation's top-rated program -- Limbaugh claims that Obama wanted Hurricane Irene to be more devastating that it actually was.

"Obama, I'll guarantee you this. I'll guarantee you Obama was hoping this was gonna be a disaster as another excuse for his failing economy. If he's out there blaming tsunamis, earthquakes and whatever other natural disaster there are, this one was made to order, but it just didn't measure up," Limbaugh said.

Let that comment sink in for a second and think about how other natural disasters have impacted political careers just in the past few years.

Lord O even had a nameplate and a grim demeanor just to play the part.

Too bad the storm was a bust, and Obama ended up looking like a fool.

Rush is right 99.6% of the time.

So, this dumbass columnist completely ignores the context of Rush's statement, that it is in reference to Goolsbee's(?) excuse-making.  He then goes on to rant about that which he knows nothing.

He even went with the gray tints in that role.
