(CNN) -- It seems like the whole world knows all about Barack Obama, so let me introduce you to the anti-Obama, the second most interesting man in American politics. Rush Limbaugh: Whether or not you agree with him he's something to hear.
Rush Limbaugh isn't black, slim, stylish or well schooled. He's a Republican with no elected office but a powerful hold on his party and a place in the news once again.
Limbaugh is the host of a radio show heard across the United States, a big-bellied man who bellows into the radios of millions of people.
He's confident, uncomplicated and almost always on the attack against Democrats, feminists and anyone on the Left.
As Republicans adapt to the role of an opposition party and search for a new opposition leader, Limbaugh may be emerging as their champion.
The Democrats would love it.
They think that Limbaugh, 58, is the very personification of an ugly Republican stereotype: he's a small-town college drop-out, an angry white man, who they believe offends the ethnic, urban and educated Americans the Democrats want to attract.
His latest headline: even in the midst of a profound economic crisis, with millions of Americans waiting for help, Limbaugh says he hopes President Obama's recovery plan fails.
"What is so strange about being honest and saying, 'I want Barack Obama to fail, if his mission is to restructure and reform this country so that capitalism and individual liberty are not its foundation?' Why would I want that to succeed?"
Obama reportedly told Republican leaders they would have to decide. "You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done."

Rush ping
“CNN participates in the Obama/Rahm Emanuel lie machine.”
At least he was correctly quoted;
His latest headline: even in the midst of a profound economic crisis, with millions of Americans waiting for help, Limbaugh says he hopes President Obama’s recovery plan fails.
“What is so strange about being honest and saying, ‘I want Barack Obama to fail, if his mission is to restructure and reform this country so that capitalism and individual liberty are not its foundation?’ Why would I want that to succeed?”
Rush is not a Republican.
I still advocate alongside of the Tea Parties we do TV Parties as well...protest in front of one cable or network HQ at a time, as well as local affiliates. Just MHO.
It is very revealing that a college drop-out self-made man is more articulate, coherent and well versed on every area of philosophy and politics than every snotty Ivy indoctrinated, eltitist Bolshevik.
Mr. Limbaugh is being used as a distraction. Don’t give the left any credit and ignore them and they will go away. All they can do is preach to the choir unless we give them credibility.
I’m not giving them any credit; we do need to know what they’re up to...
Yes, Rush spoke an hour and a half without notes or teleprompter.
Barama cannot make a simple introduction or two-minute talk without his teleprompter.
Calling Obama articulate is like saying George Clooney is a great doctor because of his work on E. R.
“a big-bellied man who bellows “
No bias there.
To the Obama lies mean truth and failure means success.
So the failure of the country is success to the sail-eared simpleton.
That’s why Rush wants him to fail. His failure means the success of the country.
Does CNN understand this or do they have no brains?
No matter how negative they try to make Rush sound, all they do is keep driving more people to listen to him. Some (if not many) might start to understand what true conservatism is. More ditto heads cannot be a bad thing for the state of this country.
“Does CNN ... have no brains?”
What you said.
DISSENT IS PATRIOTIC
big-bellied man who bellows into the radios of millions of people
I thought it comes out of the radio?? how would he bellow into millions of radios?
“Rush is the Republican leader” is a meme straight from nthe White House. See how the MSM follow their party line?? Don’t let anyone tell you the media is not biased.
When was Rush out of the news???
Interesting CNN doesn’t provide a way to respond to this hack.
>It is very revealing that a college drop-out self-made man is more articulate, coherent and well versed on every area of philosophy and politics than every snotty Ivy indoctrinated, eltitist Bolshevik.
Isn’t that insulting to the Bolsheviks?
