Link for this Post: Media Matters: Rush Limbaugh: Who's Calling the Shots (see embedded video below)
Back in the early Nineties, the first harbingers of what was to come in the form of George W. Bush and his eight years reign of blunders appeared. It was the rise of Right-Wing talk radio with Rush Limbaugh the most prominent member.
Limbaugh and his clan sowed the seeds that grew into George W. Bush. "W" as he came affectionately be called, methodically destroyed America's image in the world by railing against the Axis of evil, launching a war against one of them, Iraq and turning our image into the world into that of a bunch of torturing militarist bullies.
Iraq did not have weapons of mass destruction but after the invasion, it was too late to turn back. For the rest of the Bush administration and until the present day, we spent Billions of dollars rebuilding Iraq's infrastructure while our own infrastructure crumbled.
Barack Obama has been in office less than a month and Limbaugh has put words to what most would think would remain secret thoughts. What is he thinking?
His hope appears to be that Obama will fail in turning the direction we have been moving in around.
