No, he's not perfect, but he's way better than what America elected into office this year!
My humble opinion.

I'll second your humble opinion.

He is without a doubt Pro-American & Pro-Constitution

I believe in the power of prayer in numbers. So maybe we should have a XDTALK prayer moment, Garner the power of prayer and maybe we could make it happen

So you pray America fails?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...Obama failing does not equal America failing!

Anyone with a half a brain knows Rush wants only this: For America to succeed and for anti-American (i.e. Obama's) policies to fail.

No, but anti-American policies are a different story!

I also pray for anti-American policies to fail (which includes most of Obama's policies), but stating it like that is a good way to keep the country divided, IMO. People are more likely to listen if you say "This is what is right" rather than "Obama is wrong." If you start a conversation with "I hope Obama fails," or "This is what Obama is doing wrong," too many people will automatically stop listening.

Teach them true principles of freedom and allow them to come to their own conclusions.

How does hoping and praying that Barry's policies fail equal hoping America fails?

The President is not America...the People are America...All power comes from the People...Do you know the difference between a President and a King...

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. —Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.

...

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.

...

He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation:

...

For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:

...

For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments:

For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever.

He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands.

...

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by the Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

If...and I mean huge if...he truly avoided the draft in that manner...then in my book he is a coward. End of my humble opinion.

Nice cut and paste job...
I never said he was king. I hope everything he has done succeeds so we get out of this crappy time we are in. If his bailouts fail, guess what? We will have hyperinflation like no other, the credit markets will halt, you will not be able to get any money out of any account, then we have failed. That's my point. So please don't speak to me as if you are superior: you are not intellectually or any other way for that matter.
