I have been a semi faithful student of Rush's EIB Institue since the early nineties, or earlier. I value Rush as the magna cum laude proxy leader of the Republican Party, because there ain't anybody else around qualified to do it. However, Rush's OOCD Obsessive Obama Compulsive Disorder is getting a little boooooring, even as I admit Obama is quite Obsessive - about himself. Were Obama's kids required to name their new dog "BO?"
Aren't those BO's initials?
I do not approve of President Obama, and I do not say we must "respect the office of the President," no matter who is sitting in the White House, but lately, I can listen to the first five minutes of Rush's program and pretty much know what will be discussed for the next three hours - Most High Obama stack of stuff stuff.
The heroics of the Navy Seal snipers which liberated the American skipper were overwhelmed by R.L.'s railing against Barack Obama's personal Driveby Press which was giving the glory to O and not to the brave sailors. I got it, but I could not bear to keep getting the same for three hours!
There are so many crucial issues now on the table which could be addressed, and hammering Obama's glory will not get'r done. Submitted as a friendly reminder, only, below are some Urgent Talking Points that will fill up those three hours in a much more productive way. Thanks for acknowledging these, Rush.
I know the following issues may not be Rush Level, but it would be nice if he would more thoroughly discuss the issues that the O and the Dem Congress is rushing through the legislature:
OUTLAW ORGANIC FARMING BILL (HR 875)
NORTH KOREAN EMP MISSILE LAUNCH

Yeah, he was way over the sarcasm plateau today. It was getting pretty stale after an hour.
Guys, it was a joke. Remember the thing with Will Smith playing Obama, Will Smith playing the Seals, Will Smith playing Captain Phillips, etc.?
I agree, however, that a lot of people obviously didn’t get it and it wasn’t a successful parody.
OK - you tired of Rush's "shtick" so turn him off or down. As there are many new listeners to Rush's show, he was showing them how it's done - remember Rush's April Fools Day shows, and this way the newbies learn just how skilled Rush is in getting people to jump to conclusions, unless they are really skilled at blotting out the MSM.
So sorry your day (3 hours) was ruined by listening to El Rushbo.
I thought that was what the on/off button was for.
Had to turn the car radio off.
Insufferable to say the least.
And those first few calls.......arrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhh
Rush is mailing it in these days.
The still failing nascent obama regime has not yet found its gravitas.
Like Jimmy Carter, The Anointed Won is a whizz at micromanagement. But he really has way too much on his plate at any one time to worry about the fallen sparrow. He simply will not delegate authority, and he will not act in a timely manner when it is in his best interests.
Been there, done that!
He’s a voice crying in the wilderness of deluded Americans.
Rush’s show today was strange. It was strange how he responded to a caller who said that the quality of the calls had been low. He said their selection of callers was intentional and intended to keep us on our toes.
He’s fiddling with the show to make it appealing to a wider audience, especially women. Someone, probably a dasterdly liberal, recently predicted that his show had passed its peak. I thought about that today.
All of the talk show hosts have the job of blabbing for three hours. I don’t know how they do it so successfully.
Works for me! I love to listen to him but every now and then he goes to near, or over, the edge and I just tune him out and listen to Dennis Prager. I used to be able to listen to Rush at noon and then a replay of Dennis Prager at midnight, but the local outlet now has John Gibson on at midnight so I have to choose between Rush and Dennis.
It's amazing how many people forget there are two controls on their radio that will solve the problem for them. One turns it off, the other changes the station. I guess we'll just have to keep reminding them!
More than a joke, Rush mentioned how the media/administration will use this great Obama victory over the dangerous Pirates of Somila (who posed a strategic threat to the United States)to boost his approval ratings in the polls... thus he can continue to move forward with his socialist economic agenda with the support of the American public.
Yes, I know what he was doing. There was no need to do it for three hours.
I’m thinking that this is credit earned for when they try to impose the Unfairness Doctrine. He can play clips over and over proving that he is fair minded.
Did Rush announce he was going to do this for three hours? I kept listening hoping it would change. If he HAD said he was going to do it for three hours I would have changed the dial.
I kept thinking he would move on to something else, but alas no luck. I was able to stand about half an hour of it, went to something else and came back but he was still doing it. Left, came back again and it was STILL going on. I figure he’s entitled to have a boring show once in blue moon, it’s got be tough doing it five days a week for 20 years!
I’ll be back tomorrow, giving him another chance!
To say nothing of the Omnibus Public Lands bill shoved through a couple of weeks back and the Waxman-Markey Gorebull Warming bill.
It was stale after five minutes. I tuned out.
