Conservative icon Rush Limbaugh has said that he hopes President Barack Obama fails.
"No, I don't share that," Gov. Butch Otter said.
Otter said his "free-market tendencies may ruffle a little bit" at Obama's strategy to pay for immediate economic stimulus by ballooning federal debt. But he said the country risks a worse recession if Obama doesn't succeed.
"I think it'd be deeper and lengthen and maybe even go into a depression if we failed," Otter said.
Restoring public confidence in the economy is critical, Otter said. "I'm going to do all I can to get as many people working and get as many people confident that they can participate in this economy by getting them jobs building bridges and roads, and water systems for rural Idaho, and energy conservation and weatherization.

Then Butch will brag about what he's done for Idaho partially thanks to the federal money.
Otter is a weasel, it appears. Why should anyone want BO to succeed in changing the USA into France???
Butch Otter, living in his own private Idaho.
This guy just wants his name in the news via Rush.
Idaho Potato(e) head?
...another brilliant economist heard from...
Maybe Idaho Otter consider a new Gov.
Butch Otter is a product of the tightly controlled political machine in Idaho...he is not at all bright; the man has never had an original thought.
Was once married to J.R. Simplot’s daughter but wasn’t up to the task, either as son-in-law or husband.
Butch otter is no Rino. He has to say that publicly. i am sure he does not really believe it. I would of said the same thing. But, at the same time i would do anything to make sure BO fails. If yo hold a high profile position yo have to pretend sometimes.
And we KNOW that the liberal Dems and MSM know exactly what Rush meant by that, but they deliberately misinterpreted it.....as they nearly always do.
No...a cartoon character, I think. Maybe one of Rocky and Bullwinkle’s friends.
Otter is just another idiot!
Otter is not fit to be re-elected. Or serve in public office in any other capacity. Not as a Republican.
BS
stand for what you believe and believe what you stand for
BS
Yehp, that says it all. BS.
Butch is an intellectual lightweight, a male version of the blonde ski bunny. He married the daughter of the Baron of Boise, divorced her but stayed in good with daddy. He started out in the Libertine Party and never really got the whole free market thing even there.
He did win the tight fittin blue jeans contest, just afore his DUI.
“Butch otter is no Rino.”
Yes he is. Bought and paid for. Just like Kempthorne, Craig (you remember ol’ “wide stance” dontcha?), Simpson and their related ilk. Rinos all.
