Democrats have been carping about republicans supposedly wanting president Obama to fail based on comments from Rush Limbaugh they knowingly took out of context. But let’s take a trip down memory lane and see how democrats felt about president bush…

If you recall, democrats were quite vocal about their hopes that president Bush would fail and that the surge in Iraq would fail. In fact, they hoped the war in Iraq would fail right from the outset. The left worked towards Bush’s failure from the second he set foot into office to the time he left office. They pelted his car with eggs on inauguration day in 2000 and didn’t let up for 8 years. Hell, they haven’t let up yet and he’s out of office.

In a 2006 poll, when asked whether they wanted to see president Bush succeed or not, here’s the breakdown:

Democrats: 40%(want him to succeed) 51%(want him to fail)

Republicans: 90%(want him to succeed) 7%(want him to fail)

Independents: 63%(want him to succeed) 34%(want him to fail)

Think about this poll and the many other polls just like it next time you hear Rahm Emanuel or some liberal shocked and appalled that anyone would want to see Obama fail (even though Rush was taken out of context and never said that).
