Andy Williams Inverts Rush Limbaugh: Barack Obama 'Wants the Country to Fail'

Andy Williams Inverts Rush Limbaugh: Barack Obama 'Wants the Country to Fail' By Brent Baker Created 2009-09-29 01:41

President Barack Obama “wants the country to fail,” legendary singer Andy Williams [1] declared in flipping Rush Limbaugh's hope that Obama “fails” in his quest to enact left-wing policies, a remark which enraged liberals and the media for weeks. In an interview published in the October 3-9 edition of Radio Times [2] magazine, the TV and radio program guide for the BBC which carries re-runs of Williams' 1960s NBC variety show, the 81-year-old Williams didn't hide his feelings about Obama: “Don't like him at all.”

London's Telegraph, in a September 28 article [3] highlighted by the DrudgeReport [4], quoted from the interview which is not online. Williams starkly denounced Obama's world view:

I think he wants to create a socialist country. The people he associates with are very left-wing. One is registered as a communist. Obama is following Marxist theory. He's taken over the banks and the car industry. He wants the country to fail.

The “registered communist” is presumably a reference to Van Jones.

Politically, Williams is best-known as a friend of Robert and Ethel Kennedy who was at the Ambassador hotel when Kennedy was assassinated and sang Battle Hymn of the Republic at Kennedy's funeral.

Williams may pop up elsewhere in the media as he promotes an October 5 performance in London, a new season of the “Andy Williams All-Star Variety Show [5]” at his “Moon River Theater [6]” in Branson, Missouri (followed by his annual Christmas show) and the mid-October release of his new book, Moon River and Me: A Memoir [7].

Let's hope interviewers prompt him to elaborate on his evaluation of Obama.

The other scam I saw in the last two years was a clean cut middle aged guy dressed in a knit shirt, he stood by a highway feeder with a gas can. “Out of gas... please help” was his plea (no sign, just the can).

And with gas over $2 a gallon, can’t you give him A COUPLE of bucks to get back on the road? Except he seemed to run out of gas at that same intersection 4 times in 2 months.

Now they have signs “Cancer”, “no insurance”. I have to wonder if they are looking for bigger handouts or if they are paid to stand out there by subversives wanting to promote Obamacare. I’m seeing 20 year college kids doing this medical begging (”for a parent or friend”).’

They could not get near enough a hospital to even be diagnosed with cancer.
It is a hoax, IMO, and a treading upon your guilt and good intentions.

His statements are in line with Robert Kennedy. McCarthy was Robert Kennedy's oldest daughter's Godfather. She, Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, was later Lt. Governor of Maryland.

Obama is going to be like Hitler in the bunker when he realized the war is lost. Obama is going to say the country deserves to die and will everything to destroy the USA.
