===Obama to Fail===
Rush made national headlines when he was asked to write 400 words for a newspaper column. He said he didn't need 400 words, he needs just four, "I hope he fails." The liberal mainstream media ran wild with the story, painting him and Republicans as obstructionists. In reality, Rush was saying if Obama is for socialistic policies and against [[Ronald Reagan]] capitalist policies, of course Rush can't support it.
Rush addressed CPAC and further discussed his stance that generated so much attention. <ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/politics/first100days/2009/03/01/limbaugh-leader-obama-chief-staff-calls-talk-host-barrier-progress/ Limbaugh the Leader? Obama Chief of Staff] Fox News, March 01, 2009</ref> {{cquote|''' ''"Did the Democrats want the war in Iraq to fail? Well, they certainly did. And they not only wanted the war in Iraq to fail, they proclaimed it a failure. ... The last thing they wanted was to win. They hoped George Bush failed. So where is it -- what is so strange about being honest and saying, I want Barack Obama to fail if his mission is to restructure and reform this country so that capitalism and individual liberty are not its foundation? Why would I want that to succeed?"'' '''}}
