Instead of speaking out against Rush Limbaugh and acting like a real leader of the Republican party, John Cornyn is circulating this petition:

Bob Cesca:

Senator John Cornyn -- "Big John" -- is circulating a petition demanding that the Obama administration come clean about its "conspiracy" to smear Rush Limbaugh. Seriously. President Obama owes the American people an explanation. His staff should apologize to the American people for supporting these tactics and diverting attention to the hard work that needs to be done to get America’s economy back on track. Please join me in signing this petition and calling on the Obama White House to come clean on this matter. Yep. A prominent Republican senator is circulating a petition in support of Rush Limbaugh. While he's at it, Cornyn might as well fly down to Palm Beach in his cowboy drag to offer Limbaugh an luxurious sponge bath.

Cornyn's play is essentially trying to shift the blame from his own party's failures that led this country headlong into a crater. Talk about trying to shift the focus. Why can't Big John just admit the truth and say that Rush is head of the Limbaugh National Committee. Michael Steele proved that point when he groveled at the feet of Rush.

From this we may gather that Cornyn is among those that hopes President Obama will fail too. And Cornyn wonders why America is solidly behind President Obama.
