It’s not the Chicago Way. (But it would’ve been good press for Obama, unless there was a live mike at the meeting, and Limbaugh one-upped him somehow).
I see your point.....but keeping in mind the vicious attacks leveled by Obama and his operatives on Rush this past year....well, such a visit would have been horribly transparent and cynical.
Not that such idiocy has stopped ‘em so far, but.......
Rush would not allow himself to be used in that manner.
They would not have let him in anyway. Too much of a security risk—for Limbaugh.
It never occurred to me but you’re right. It would have been a great “photo op” and smooth political move. The lefties could claim the high ground and our side would look bad if we didn’t gracefully accept his good token and gesture.
Obama could have done himself a world of good by showing a "human" side. He could have instigated some of that "healing" he promised during the election.
Of course, reality is that Obama is just a Chicago thug and that promised healing was just an idea of his image consultant.
Too bad...for Obama that is!;-)
Interesting thought.............
Matter. Anti-matter. Boom.
Not good.
BO is a much too small and petty man to do something like that.
No, it would have hurt Obama far more than help him politically.
Nope. If 0 had visited Limbaugh and the hospital and then Rush kicked off from a coronary, can you imagine all the conspiracy theories our side would be screaming?
Rush probably wouldn’t have been very pleased BHO visited him... but a visit would have provided Rush with weeks and weeks of fodder for his show.
To Hussien - Rush is a terrorist and visa versa.
Obama has never been in an Hawaiian hospital, and he’s not going to start now.
It would only aggravate Rush...and you know damn well Obama would be doing it to aggravate and not goodwill.
Next thing you know, Barry would be a guest host . Barry, behind the EIB mike.
It would have been great theater but, you’re correct. The guy has a tin ear.
He doesn’t care about his approval ratings. His focus is on destroying capitalism and redistribution of wealth. This has to be done before the 2010 elections, which will be a difficult win for conservatives with ACORN, billions of $’s of advantage for dems due to “stimulous” funds, Soros, MSM etc.
