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."

GM did file for bankruptcy.
The original company trades under the symbol MTLQQ.PK
[by buying several $41,000 Chevy Volts]
I can either put $41,000 into a Chevy Volt, OR I can put $41,000 into my 57 Chevy BelAir and have a dream car perpetually worth $80,000 that I can keep going for 100 years.
What to do, what to do.
Yeah... I’m sure it wasn’t Rush’s idea to drop them, no matter what he says. He’s a businessman first. He’d take their money if the regime would pay it.
You may keep it running but you won’t be able to license it.
One of the goals of the left is to use inspection and emissions laws to get old cars off the roads and force new purchases of “politically correct” vehicles.
Japan has successfully accomplished this already.
Beautiful, don't you think?
Nothing like having free publicity from the WH to increase Rush’s audience.
Watch out you will bring down the wrath of the EV Mafia and the GM Gestapo. They will tolerate no criticism of the magic electric vehicle. Oh yes they by worshiping at the battery powered alter of Electric Vehicles have true knowledge.
Your post hit the nail on the head.
"Mooooommy!!! Rush is looking at me!!!"
ROFL!
"Now, Mr. President, look at this inkblot and tell me what you see."
"Uh, uhmmm, I see... Rush Limbaugh, that bastard, that's him! He's climbing a mountain, uhh, to, um, drop something, yes! It's an anvil! It's Rush Limbaugh trying to drop an anvil on my head to make me FAIL!"
Yeah it is a very sweet setup.
But no Baraqqi could understand the need for it.
Well, I’m sure that it was Rush’s idea to drop them. He had a good relationship and did GM a world of good and they wanted to continue with him.
Rush has no problem getting advertisers.
They keep digging themselves deeper and deeper, don’t they?
Hey, good to see ya, Scott. Long time no see!
Good to see you too, Victoria - how’s everything in your neck of the woods?
