Limbaugh says we've lost the war to save the economy

Huffington Post writes, "Rush Limbaugh has gone from hoping Obama will fail to proclaiming he already has. If Americans are in an 'economic war,' the talk show host said Tuesday, and 'Obama is our general,' then 'we've already lost.'"

I was never one to take Rush seriously, but I'm amazed at the blatant hypocrisy here. Remember when Rush accused those who disagreed with Bush as being unpatriotic? How about this Rush quote from August 21, 2006: "I am going to challenge the patriotism of people who disagree with [Bush] because the people that disagree with him want to lose."
