Limbaugh is their spokesperson


They think Newt is a viable candidate


They want Obama to fail, America to fail because their hatred is more important to them than the success of their own country, of themselves !!!
I don't think anyone is saying that Obama started this mess. Im pretty sure a lot of people think he is making "this mess" a hell of a lot worse though.

Lightbulb "When is the Messiah Obama going to save us?" Why does GOP think Obama is Jesus & expect to him to fix GOP mess in weeks

So Why do Wingnuts think Obama is Jesus & expect to him to fix GOP mess in weeks?

It took the GOP's policies a long time to verge into this trainwreck. Obama's been in office for only weeks now and the same GOP who constantly refers to Obama as the "Messiah" also wants him "to fail" and will oppose policies that run counter to the GOP's which created this mess.

Amazing.

Short answer:

Because Limbaugh told the wingnuts that Obama is the messiah. I'm guessing he may be having some second thoughts along those lines.

But if Limbaugh says it, the lemmings declare it gospel.

Obama is very naive if he thinks that raising taxes and talking about Socialism will fix the economy. I have no problems with the man, I just abhor his failed ideology. So far, he has not done anything for investors and that is SCARY!

I studied his agenda. I thought it was the best agenda for this period. I especially liked his push for transparency.

What conservatives don't realize is that Obama reached a critical mass to win the election over the course of the debates as he proved time and again to have reasonable and thoughtful responses from a truly superior mind.

Long after the soaring rhetoric faded, he crossed the finish line on grit and grissle.
Transparency, now that is a laugh. Ethics, too many tax cheats and lobbbyist to have any credibility. He is using this crisis to cram his social engineering down the public's throat.

The fluff promises of hope and change have come home to roost. His inexperience at both a manager and leader is suspect just by his choosing of his staff and their inability to convince the economy of their ability to problem solve. They are just throwing everything at the problem including the kitchen sink to see what sticks. I just hope that they get lucky or we are all doomed.

If this is the hope and change Obama supporters voted for they are crazy. These are perilous times and we need real leadership from the top down. It is a shame that they can't get over attacking people like Rush, Steele, etc, just to create a diversion from there obvious inability to get their arms around the problem and come up with solutions other that spend, spend, spend. These guys act like complete rookies, geez we have an ecomomy about to completely collapse and the man, tax cheater choosen to fix the problem can't even hire a staff. We want someone that can't even hire a staff to take on this financial mess? You have got to be kidding.

Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is trying to stabilize the nation's banking industry, implement a housing rescue plan and prop up a plunging stock market – all with about 18 vacant senior positions, virtually the entire upper echelon of his department.

The staff is so faceless that lobbyists have begun trading jokes about a "ghost" bureaucracy, given the many empty picture frames hanging on the department's walls.

These stupid so-called 'Conservatives', are really GOOD at creating fiscal catastrophies, but not very good at fixing them, and very quick to point the finger at those trying to clean up their s_t.

You prefer destruction of the dollar? The fact is: If we don't start paying down our deficits, the dollar will be destroyed. The USA will be bankrupt. The only way government can raise money is through taxation.

Reagan and Cheney were wrong: Deficits DO matter!
