Wanda Sykes is one of the funniest, most wiseass ladies I've ever seen/heard. So you knew that when she was at the annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Saturday night, she was gonna talk some trash about someone. That someone happened to be Rush Limbaugh, who actually said he hopes President Obama fails when he was first elected. Wanda said that Rush saying that was the same view that Osama bin Laden had. She said Obama should look into it "because [she thinks] Rush Limbaugh was the 20th hijacker."
There were a ton of people who laughed, but a few who were offended and thought it wasn't really in good taste to make a joke based off of 9/11. This is way too sensitive of a subject for me to even get involved with, so I'm ending it here and not giving my feedback. All I'll say is this -- wishing a President to fail (whether it's Obama or Bush or Jackson Blue) isn't any less offensive than a 9/11 joke.

If FDR had failed, we wouldn't have an overbearing government stepping outside its Constitutional boundaries. If Obama fails, our kids won't have to pay our medical bills and try to find a way to repay trillions of wasted dollars.
Failure can be a good thing--imagine if Lenin or Stalin had failed. There's nothing wrong with hoping a person who has wrong-headed philosophies suffers a failure. It is wrong to hope for such an event within someone else's vital organs.
the american people spoke loudly and clearly when we elected obama against all odds.we were saying we want the government to do something about the economy.to change the direction this country was on.he has done so remarkably.case closed
I'd much rather a president "waste" dollars trying to fix our own country's economy, healthcare and educational systems, than, say, invading Iraq. Talk about a waste of money!!!
Keep it goin, guys! It's good to see some interested (and interesting) feedback!
The Republican Party is based on fallacy. They drove this country into the biggest national debt and Budget Deficit EVER yet they have the audacity to talk about spending waste. In 28 yrs only one Democrat was in the Whitehouse. Clinton was the Only one to balance the budget.
Rush L. is a nazi and so are his listeners.
