The fact that Rush stated aloud his own prejudices and hateful ideologies over the health and welfare of the country is disgusting all by itself.

To me, when someone says that they hope a President fails, I read that as meaning that they hope his policies fail.
You're also stating that Obama's policies are good for "the health and welfare of the country," and honestly, that's just your opinion at this point (as well as the opinion of those who voted for Obama). There's nothing to say that his policies will be successful, and we won't know that for quite a while.
There are people who have legitimate problems with his platform, and there are a lot of people who think that his policies won't help the country and who hope he fails in implementing them. That's just the nature of being a President - some people want your policies to fail, because they don't agree with said policies.
I'm by no means a Rush fan, but I see no problem with what he said.
I understand Rush says some ridiculous stuff, and that he can be a real lightning rod...but you're stretching it a bit here.
