No Rush.....

Daily Kos has a good response to the Fathead: "Rush, A Moment of Your Time, If I May . . ." by Mother Mags

I love the way it starts out: "I don't listen to Rush, Sean, Bill-O, and the rest of the gang 'in order to know what the enemy is up to.' I can’t do it." Me, neither.
Like the author, I'm glad others with stronger stomachs and cleaner arteries take on that chore.

There are riches in this post. My favorite passage:

Let us assume for the sake of argument that Obama’s “massive spending” plan actually works. Let’s say that by the end of his first term:

• millions of people return to the employment rolls,
• necessary infrastructure work like reinforcing bridges, building roads, mass transit, and fiber optics installation gets underway,
• thousands of green jobs are created, developing alternative energy sources and taking a big step toward breaking our foreign oil addiction,
• taxes are higher on the wealthy, less so on the other 95 percent of us,
• our wildlife areas, national parks, and oceans are no longer threatened by drilling or mining,
• Gitmo and torture are distant memories, and the rule of law (that Constitution thingy) finds its way back into both domestic and international policies,
• the deficit is cut in half,
• fewer people are forced to walk away from their homes due to foreclosure,
• universal healthcare is passed which means, among other things, people are not forced into bankruptcy because of a medical emergency,
• banks and investment firms right themselves and start lending,
• children have up-to-date textbooks, classrooms that don’t endanger their health, and teachers who are well-trained and adequately compensated,
• college is affordable for anyone who wants to pursue higher education,
• oh, yeah, the U.S. exits Iraq and Afghanistan.

Let us assume, Rush, these things happen on Obama’s watch. Maybe they all won’t, but that’s not the point of this exercise. What I just sketched is what success would look like for the administration. And it is this which you gleefully and unapologetically say you don’t want to happen. Why?

Take a look, also, at the graphic on DK's lead article, "Jobs by President." Presidents who have been from the Democratic Party do MUCH better on creating jobs. I wonder if Limbaugh knows what a JOB is?
