Rush Limbaugh On Worst Economic Drop Since 2009: ‘This Is What I Meant When I Said I Hope He Fails’

Conservative radio host Rush 'Oxy' Limbaugh was dismayed by revised economic numbers showing the U.S. economy shrunk a staggering 2.9 percent in the first three months of 2014, placing the blame squaring on President Obama’s policies and claiming “this is what I meant when I said I hope he fails.”

On Wednesday, Limbaugh led his radio program with the Commerce Department’s “revision” of statistics on America’s gross domestic product in the first quarter of 2014.

While reports from April indicated a 0.1 percent decline and reports from May bumped that up to 1.0 percent, Commerce is now indicating that the U.S. lost nearly 3 percent of its entire economy between January and March. That’s one percentage point per month.

OP NOTE: All 12 of his listeners do not give a red rat's ass what 'Old Oxy' thinks. they just need the warmth and companionship of the radio.

Honestly.

Of course the economy shrunk.


Blaming economic policies that have been succeeding is insane.
