Rush Limbaugh.<\/p>\n<p>AVLON: Four words: I hope he fails. He ended up starting the entire Republican strategy at a time President Obama was on honeymoon. He set the gauntlet down and ended up showing that talk radio now has more influence than party leaders when it comes to strategy.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: There you have it. Rush Limbaugh, four words. In fact, that\u2019s what I said to the Wall Street Journal when they asked for 200 words on Obama: &#8216;I don\u2019t need 200, I just need four: I hope he fails.\u2019 <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Now, I want to go back to this Jessica Yellin and John Avlon piece, because I don\u2019t deny it, I did say I hope he failed, but more to the point, I knew in the end his policies would fail because they\u2019ve never worked anywhere else they\u2019ve been tried. I knew his policies would damage the nation. But the point is that he is a failed president, and he\u2019s the one that did that, not me. I\u2019ll gladly take the blame, credit, whatever your point of view is for daring to tell the truth when nobody else would about what we all needed to happen here, and that was for him to bomb out. But he\u2019s the one failing. Not me. I\u2019m the opposite of failure. I\u2019m sitting behind a microphone in Florida, and I brought Washington to a standstill, like a blizzard. I\u2019m a human blizzard out there, according to these people. And again just to remind you that this whole thing today is just theater to set up reconciliation on Monday. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;After a brief period of consultation following the White House health reform summit, congressional Democrats plan to begin making the case next week for a massive, Democrats-only health care plan, party strategists told Politico. A Democratic official said the six-hour summit was expected to &#8216;give a face to gridlock&#8230;&#8221; What it\u2019s doing is giving a face to stupidity and incompetence and inexperience, and that face is our young president\u2019s, Barack Obama, ladies and gentlemen. &#8216;Democrats plan to begin rhetorical, and perhaps legislative, steps toward the Democrats-only, or reconciliation, process early next week,\u2019 because the American people are tired of the process. And yet, from Gallup&#8230; whoa, Americans don\u2019t want this, folks. They didn\u2019t want health care in August, hence the tea parties. They still don\u2019t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Go back and play audio sound bite 19. This is the sound bite of the week.
