PRESIDENT OBAMA TAKES ON RUSH LIMBAUGH IN NEW MEDIA WAR

WASHINGTON -- President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.

One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.

"There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats," the official said. "We shouldn't let partisan politics derail what are very important things that need to get done."

That wasn't Obama's only jab at Republicans today.

Lord Obama The Most Merciful has it all wrong. RINOs don’t listen to Rush. If they did, they’d have a clue as to how to stand up to the Democrats. Now he’s stepped in it, because no one, not even a spineless RINO, wants to be told whom he can or can’t listen to.

“Careful, folks. Put the emotions aside for a moment and think “enemy tactics”. ... Now, if you’ve been paying attention, Rush Limbaugh is now in the sights for this same tactic which is right out of the Saul Alinsky revolutionary commie handbook. ...Remember, everything is exquisitely planned now by the Left, the Left’s money backers and the Obama administration’s shadowy operatives.”

Excellent post, Leni. Obama has been out to neutralize Rush for quite a while. Remember during the campaign when Obama attacked Rush in that down and dirty ad in Spanish ...
“They want us to forget the insults we’ve put up with, the intolerance,” the television ad’s announcer says in Spanish as a picture of Rush Limbaugh appears onscreen with quotes of him saying, “Mexicans are stupid and unqualified” and “Shut your mouth or get out.”

What you said but liberal is way to kind. He’s not a liberal, he’s a socialist borderline commnunist that is like a rabid dog. He wants to divide, conquer and control.

Bipartisan efforts really means, “Kiss our ass and don’t expect a reach around”.

Coup d'etat’s can happen very quickly.

Hopefully there are enough men and women in the USAF that remember they are suppose to protect us "from all enemies, foreign and domestic."

Man, that’s a great idea. Properly proposed to El Rushbo, he might just do that. If he does, I’ll buy one of each. I’d get a few coffee mugs. Take one to work just to tick off the libs that work there.

The wimp couldn't even wait a week to start whining about those who dare criticize his socialist policies and socialist points of view. I've never heard GW complain about the vitriol and absolutely hatred the MSM directed at him, distorting his record by spreading lies and innuendo. Obama took less a week to start whining against one man – a radio host who has no real power, who does nothing more than express his opinion. Obama takes his shots at Rush despite enjoying approval ratings over 80% (according to the polls).

His MO is to divide and conquer... the old Stalinist tactic... weaken your enemy to the point of destroying them. That's exactly what Stalin did, he destroyed his enemies by weakening and undermining them. Once alone and alienated from the populace, these people were fired, sent away, exiled etc, and were depicted by his controlled media as enemies of the state and ultimately through “legal means” (his kangaroos trials), he permanently purged and silenced his critics. Divide and conquer is the tactic of socialists and communists.

Obama should be spending a few days in office thanking his lucky starts for living in a country where someone who hasn't done diddly squat in his life is now the president of the greatest nation on earth.

Good grief!

‘...he’s going to make Lindsey Graham and McCain want to make little speeches about how “we should rise above partisan bickering...’

...and, perhaps, we, the people who still believe in the American system of government vs socialism should be calling Mr.McCain and Mr. Graham and other RINO’s and suggest they be honest and just switch parties...

This spoiled rotten little man-child can’t stand opposition. He has all the traits of a dictator.

This will probably be the most OBVIOUS post of the day.

Putin would kick his skinny little ass.

I'm sure this will play out, figuratively, in the next four years.

I bet on Obama. Course, I'm not a commie lover.

ROFL I’m with Rush. BO is blundering right and left. This will be very entertaining.

Which commie do you prefer? The Muslim piece of sh!+ or the Russian?

Excellent post and right on target. I think many are beginning to see what they didn't before. He's moving full steam ahead with his agenda to destroy this country as we have known it. I would bet my bottom dollar Axelrod and friends bloggers scouring the web making lists and taking names.

I'll take some of that action.

Putin will skin 0bama alive then turn him inside out before 0bama knows what hit him.

Zero is way, way out of his league.

Thanks. Some previous posts made it seem that his songs aren’t on Rush’s show any more.

I think they meant not on the podcasts.

That post is so spot on that I plan on plagiarizing it.
