That's an absolutely dumba$s remark that wasn't thought of or anything. Okay, so people have their opinions about everyone, and I'm not saying Santorum can't have an opinion on Obama. But it's just a stupid statement! Sure, he's "bada$s" because he had guts saying something, but it's like Rebel Without A Cause (which wasn't a good movie, by the way). It seems he just said it so he'd be cool and opposed the President out in the open. But no, this will be karmic and will backfire at him so much faster than he can say "rebel wannabe"...negativity will only hit him and not Obama, and it won't solve anything, really.
Absolute hateful statement. Chamay is right. These people have a seething hatred for the majority of us since we sent them packing. They're little children who can't accept that when you break a toy several times, you won't get it back.
I don't know what some of you think but this is chilling even while being informative. I do not for one minute believe Sen. Rick Santorum's sentiment is isolate. This is how the republicans really feel. They would have us all drown in hell, as long as they could return to yesterday's mystical fortunes. Beside this being unfucking believable, it also shows the underlying hate that the republican party has for the bulk of the American people. For them to desire for President Obama to fail is to wish all of us to suffer. Thank goodness the republicans are not known for having a brain, otherwise we might still be wondering what they were about.
Just before President Obama was inaugurated, hate radio host Rush Limbaugh declared, “I hope he fails.” Though some Republicans have distanced themselves from Limbaugh’s sentiment, conservatives at CPAC have fully embraced it.In an interview with ThinkProgress today, radio host Mark Levin and former Sen.

In an interview with ThinkProgress today, radio host Mark Levin and former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) added their voices to the chorus of conservatives hoping for Obama’s failure:
TP: What do you think about what Rush said about, I mean, do you hope, should we hope that President Obama fails?
LEVIN: Yes.
TP: Yes?
SANTORUM: If…absolutely we hope that his policies fail.
“I believe his policies will fail, I don’t know, but I hope they fail,” added Santorum. Watch it:
