What is it with this White House and publicly calling out conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh?
If you recall, back in January 2009 President Barack Obama told Republican congressional leaders to quit listening to Limbaugh if they wanted to get things done. It's happened once again. During the White House daily press briefing on July 29, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs took another couple of jabs Limbaugh - this time over the auto manufacturer bailout. In responding to a question concerning charges of "socialism," Gibbs went right after Limbaugh.
"Look, I'll say this - Rush Limbaugh and others wanted to walk away," Gibbs said. "Rush Limbaugh and others saw a million people that work at these factories that worked at these part suppliers that supported communities and thought that we should all just walk away. The president didn't think that walking away from a million jobs in these communities made a lot of economic sense."

Nice of Mr. Gibbs to remind all of America how President Obama hangs on every word Rush utters.
He lives in Obama’s head, rent-free.
Its what he was thinking....
Interesting that gm no longer advertises with rush. I guess that’s one of obamas fringe benefits of nationalizing gm.
Bwahh! They haven’t learned yet to ignore Maha Rushdie. It’s a fight you’ll never win.
So it depends on the size of the fail before companies in the red are allowed to fail?
Fixed it...
The Lie House Court Jester Gibbs has spoken.....what an idiot.....lulz.
Obami has already failed and I hope GM fails too. Put the UAW out of business. So many people out of work and these thieves are still sucking money from the taxpayers, get exempt from the healthcare tax and have their pensions guaranteed, screw the UAW and screw obami.
My understanding is that Rush turned them down.
55 Percent of Likely Voters Find ‘Socialist’ an Accurate Label of Obama
What was the point of Gibbs’ F-150 comment?
Gibbs just makes up his lies for his everyday job.
Rush discussed this matter the other day, Tue. or Wed. He said how could he talk about the silliness of these electric cars, etc if they were sponsors of his show?
The new GM electric only goes 40 miles before it needs to be recharged. Where are the recharge stations? How long to recharge? Many questions yet to be answered on this car.
How about the extra coal it will take to make more electricity to charge all these batteries? Obama wants to get rid of coal.....
Another half baked idea of this Obama administration and their GOv. owned car company.
Go Ford!!!
“Look, I’ll say this - Rush Limbaugh and others wanted to walk away,” Gibbs said. “Rush Limbaugh and others saw a million people that work at these factories that worked at these part suppliers that supported communities and thought that we should all just walk away. The president didn’t think that walking away from a million jobs in these communities made a lot of economic sense.”
Gee, like he walked away from the rest of the non-union country?
Good Gawd! To go after a radio talk show host. Leaderless. Rudderless. Pathetic. Petty. Desparerate. (am I missing anything?)
Hey Gibby, you spokesman for communism, you should never bring a knife to a gun fight.
You must take a lot of dope or booze to get to sleep at night. I hope you are haunted the rest of your life when you remember what a whore you were.
Can they think of another word besides “blast”. Ridiculous. All AP and Reuters. He blasted her, she blasted him, they all blasted each other. Geez. Its unexpected, expected or blasted.
