President Obama injected himself Friday into the controversy over Rush Limbaugh's comments about a Georgetown University student who spoke to lawmakers about birth control, calling the 30-year-old woman to thank her for "exercising her right as a citizen to speak out."
But Limbaugh stood his ground, using his nationally syndicated radio show to mock Obama's call and charge Democrats with trying to exploit the controversy to make up for "failure on their decades-long abortion push."
"It just isn't the winning issue for them it used to be. ... If it were, this wouldn't be about contraception, this would be about abortion," Limbaugh said Friday.
The president called the student, Sandra Fluke, on Friday afternoon to express his disappointment in the "personal attacks" against her, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.
Limbaugh, on his radio show earlier this week, had called Fluke a "slut" following her comments in favor of mandatory contraceptive coverage.
"The fact that our political discourse has become debased in many ways is bad enough. It is worse when it's directed at a private citizen who was simply expressing her views on a matter of public policy," Carney said.

SHE’S A 30 YR. OLD COED COMMUNITY ORGANIZER
And a 30 yeaer old community organizer does not speak for me or a vast number of American women.
HA HA!
ROFL... just read on another thread where Select Comfort and Sleep Train have ended their ads on Rush’s show over the “controversy.” TWO MATTRESS COMPANIES!! Oh, the irony is just too hilarious! I hope Rush has a field day with it on Monday.
Sluts gotta stick together.
HA HA!
Yet another crazy irony, a “fluke” is a parasite that can affect, infest and wreak havoc with all your bodily organs. Suck the life out of you, as it were.
Fluke = socialistdemocommie = LIBERAL
Seriously? Someone who holds titles of: President of the United States, Leader of the the free world, and Commander in Chief of the worlds greatest armed forces.... wants to somehow validate this left wing activist’s view that she somehow has the right to free contraceptives?
Stating the obvious - she doesn’t have such a right and she can nothing prevents her from buying whatever she needs to keep from producing more ignorant libtards.
Stating the really painfully obvious - Obama’s only accomplishment is working hard each day at embarassing himself and our country. The fact that he’s wading into this speaks volumes. Fool.
When did President Bammy apologize to the Koch brothers?
Better offer a free clinic too so she can clear up her sexually transmitted diseases.
Too late for the HPV vaccine.
“”exercising her right as a citizen to speak out.”
Bologna. It was more like,
“You did a great job. When this blows over there will
be a job for you in my administration. People like us
(frauds) need to stick together.”
