In his mind, Rush see's success in the Obama administration as a rise in socialism, a loss of personal freedoms, increased governmental control over its citizen's lives, loss of constitutional guarantees in favor of more governmental restrictions, nationalization of banks and major industry because they are too important to fail, and the loss of freedom of speech in an attempt to promote fairness (if not an attempt to squelch opposition).He is not a nut case, he is just very fearful.
