But maybe that shouldn't be so surprising, because radio's Biggest Big Man also assures us that the Democrat welcomes "economic chaos" because it gives him "greater opportunity for expanded government." In a time when the nation calls out for cool leadership and rational discussion, Limbaugh stirs the caldron, a tendency he proved in a particularly grotesque way last week when he accused Obama's party of plotting a government takeover of 401(k) retirement plans.

"They're going to take your 401(k), put it in the Social Security trust fund, whatever the hell that is," Limbaugh woofed. "Trust fund, my rear end."
Now, I do take offense at the seemingly political spin the reporter puts on Rush Limbaugh. The "stirs the caldron" makes him sound like he's Hecate, planning to destroy Democracy and Freedom, which I doubt he is. Besides, it's not like another hour of news reports will sway Limbaugh's supporters. Aren't they the most educated in current affairs of all media listeners?

Rush Limbaugh is, however, making a point about...

However, most political observers believe that Democrats are poised to gain seats in both the House and the Senate, so comments made by the mostly Democratic members who attended the hearing could be a harbinger of things to come.
I would also like to point out that the economy runs on perceptions and it also runs in cycles. Bush caught the downside of the wave. The executive and legislative branches failed to act effectively, failing to respond to the recession we are currently going through. So when the 'change' candidate fails to effectively rectify it (even though he really can't change it) and the economy slumps after he is elected, it can't be Bush's fault. I think it's pretty ridiculous for anything swift to happen. Obama and Bush both recognize that the stimulus will work in the long-term, we just have to wait until it kicks in. I just want to see how the media treats Obama's "wait it out" versus Bush's "wait it out".
