Rush Limbaugh: 'We’re Doomed' If Obama Re-elected
Newsmax ^ | September 26, 2012

Posted on 09/27/2012 5:31:59 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Radio host Rush Limbaugh is no stranger to controversy. And now, a few short months before the November elections, Limbaugh is predicting a disaster scenario for America if Barack Obama is re-elected. He went so far as to say that if President Obama is voted into office for another term, the national economy is in serious trouble.

“We’re doomed,” Limbaugh recently said on his talk show.

“If Obama’s re-elected, it will happen. There’s no if about this. And it’s gonna be ugly. It’s gonna be gut-wrenching, but it will happen. The country’s economy is going to collapse if Obama is re-elected. I don’t know how long: a year and a half, two years, three years.”

Limbaugh thinks California will collapse first, setting off a disastrous chain of events.

“California is going to declare bankruptcy, and you know what Obama will do? He’ll go to states like Texas or Arizona, Florida to bail them out. That’s what he’ll do, and that’s gonna precipitate this stuff. California is showing where we’re headed in every which way,” Limbaugh said.

Limbaugh continued his attack on the president’s policies, stating, “We’re on an unsustainable course. You simply can’t pay people who aren’t working. You just can’t. You cannot pay them anything, much less full-fledged incomes, lifetime healthcare and lifetime pensions. You can’t do it. Even if you wanted to, even if that was your definition of fairness and equality, you can’t do it. The money isn’t there.”

Limbaugh also said he hoped he was wrong about his prediction....

I am afraid the country may be doomed even if he isn’t re-elected.

Obama has pretty much destroyed what was once a great nation. I don’t think I would want to follow him in office.

If Obama wins the only way back for the economy is a world war.

I listen to Rush most every day - has anyone heard him say what part of the globe he is headed to when the clown achieves his 2nd term?

Id rather take my chances with Romney in office than go to bed and wake up with Obama being re-elected. America IS doomed if Obama wins..we mind as well call ourselves Venezuelans because is what we will be

go after the NYS govt workers first.......they retire in grand style, early, with medical for them and their spouses, forever, and they don't pay state tax.....

but I'm so harsh....afterall, these people "deserve" it because it was "promised" to them and they all worked at those "low" wages and the pension and medical makes up for it, right?......

The country will have a Civil War again before it dies. Hopefully part of the country will live on in liberty while the rest goes under....

I think that an economic crisis would be a good thing in the long run. We nearly had a total meltdown in 2008 but we panicked and squandered the opportunity to let the thing fail and then reform the system. But that just means we’ll get an even bigger correction in the future. Heck, T-bill was downgraded again, and I think that most would agree that even at AA- it’s still over valued. California is broke, and they still won’t allow offshore drilling in proven oil and gas fields with easily accessible oil. A collapse will simply mean a chance to take back the government and adults will be in charge again. It will suck for awhile, but we’ll win the day. Don’t fear the coming crisis, friends. It’s 90% gold for us.

Obama is an enemy of America. He sat under Reverend Wright for twenty years who preached “God Damn America.” I believe Obama wants the U.N. Agenda 21 implemented just as fast as possible and probably wants to angle for a top position in whatever New World Order emerges from the collapse of America.

I’ve been writing TEOTWAWKI survival books the last two years. There are a lot of variables so maybe we muddle through, but the economic graphs I dig up as research just don’t show a lot of optimism even if Romney sneaks in. You have to cut $1.5 trillion per year in gov spending - ain’t gonna happen. The Fed QE3 just topped off the whole mess.

Try not to be bitter about people (i.e., state workers); the problem is the system. It's the same with illegal aliens. If I lived in Mexico, I'd do whatever it took to get to the USA, including hiding in a truck and living here illegally. I believe, however, we need to tighten our borders and end illegal immigration. You can believe laws and systems should be changed without becoming bitter towards those who benefit from those laws and flawed systems. Liberals want to make all of this personal, when it's just an objective truth that the current state of affairs is unsustainable.

We’re doomed not because Obama is re-elected....we’re doomed because anyone with such an awful record as Obama’s should have no chance of getting re-elected. He’s truly the worst president ever...worse than Carter. Carter was just an inept fool. Obama is a leftist menace. His re-election would mean we’ve more imbeciles than adults, and we’ve finally turned the corner to a complete socialist state.
