Was it the way he seemed to relish their attacks? Or, were Obama's rapidly-sinking approval numbers to blame?
Whatever the reason, At least for now, Democrats say they're done utilizing an anti- Rush Limbaugh strategy in an attempt to neutralize their political opposition. Now, it's on to something else. For how long, however?
From the Politico:
Beginning Sunday, the White House will harness every part of the Democratic Partys machinery to defend President Obamas budget and portray Republicans as reflexively political, according to party strategists.
A participant in the planning meetings described the push as a successor to Democrats message that Rush Limbaugh is the Republican Party leader. We have exhausted the use of Rush as an attention-getter, the official said.
David Plouffe, manager of Obamas presidential race, helped design the strategy, which includes the most extensive activation since November of the campaigns grassroots network. The databasewhich includes information for at least 10 million donors, supporters and volunteerswill now be used as a unique tool for governing, with former canvassers now being enlisted to mobilize support for the presidents legislative agenda.
Others involved in the planning included White House senior adviser David Axelrod; the DNC chairman, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine; and DNC Executive Director Jennifer O'Malley Dillon.
The plan follows the private complaints of some Democrats that Obama let the GOP get the better of him during the debate over pork in the budget bill he just signed, and growing concerns among some Democrats that charges of big spending could stick to the president.

LOL! True-dat...but imagine the fun if Rush would make the offer?
Here we go with the attempt to move Obama to the “center.” His leftist policies will be portrayed as moderate.
The liberals are beating up on Rush because Bush is no longer in office.
It doesn’t look good when the white house is debating a talk show host. Last I checked Rush wasn’t a member of congress.
Man that pic is a classic. You have a hard time finding that book now-a-days.
Just one more mistake in a continuing line of mistakes. This guy is making Carter look like a good President.
"And de tar baby, he don't say nothin, and de Br'er Fox, he lay low.."
Yesterday Bob Brinker was ranting about and against an unnamed person wanting Obama’s financial plans to fail.
I like to listen to Brinker’s show on the same station as Rush, but it now seems that Brinker is supporting Obama’s socialist plan to change America forever.
