That would only be valid if Obama intended to turn the nation socialist. I think it obvious that he does not.
Having said that, I think Limbaugh expressed himself awkwardly, and he probably did not mean what it sounded like. I suppose he meant that he hopes Obama fails to achieve some of the liberal policies that Limbaugh opposes -- NOT that he hopes the economy continues to collapse, and that banks keep going bankrupt. I am no fan of Limbaugh but I doubt he favors a second Great Depression.
Many of Obamas supporters, including me, have grave doubts about spending a trillion dollars to revive the economy. However he is the president, and if he can persuade the Congress to do it, I defer to his judgement. I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to handle this or most of the other problems a president faces.
