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.

In face to face negotiations, Putin will clean 0bama’s clock 100 times out of 100.

I hope you're wrong. Do you?

‘...It’s up to each of us to start our own campaign....’

AGREE! But, we must find ways to unite.....there’s power in numbers (as we’ve sadly learned from Obama’s campaign tactics). One or two calls or emails to RINO’s don’t have an impact but if their phones are flooded....we may get their attention. We can begin locally.....suggesting to my County Rep Party that Activism Committee is formed (should have been done long ago). Why aren’t buses going to Washington to demand exploring our own resources to free us from foreign oil? Demand our Governors begin appointing more conservative judges....liberal judges are large part of problems. The Republican Party MUST become more creative and effective in educating the ‘everyday’ person on how Mr.Obama’s socialist policies will eventually adversely affect them...

Yep. Obama just guaranteed Rush millions more listeners for at least the next week if not longer.

‘Rush best watch his back...’

Hannity has not been high on Mr. Obama’s hit parade and after watching Sean’s new show, he too best watch his back.

“Rush said on his show today that there was going to be an effort by Obama to separate the Republicans in Congress from the Republican voters. Guess this is just the opening shot in trying to browbeat them (although plenty don’t need any browbeating).”

How many Republicans representing Republicans remain in Congress?

I could never be a politician. I would be compelled to tell the POTUS to “Eat sh*t.” What’s the penalty for that?

**Monday will be FUNday listening to Rush,**

OK ALL GLOVES ARE OFF!!

Attention MULLAH HUSSEIN!! I really don’t think you wanna be trying that. One of your Liberal Congress Buddies started WHINING one day... RUSH TOLD his listeners to call the congressional phone lines ... RUSH DID NOT .. so to PROVE he did NOT..

Rush Limbaugh said... “To PROVE A POINT, here’s the number ... would EVERYONE LISTENING PLease Call Congressman x’s OFFICE and just say HI.

The ENTIRE DC AREA CODE, ALL OF MARYLAND , and Northern Virginia Area Codes were SHUT DOWN for 4 HOURS.

And Rush had a SMALLER AUDIENCE THEN!!

Know what. I honestly don’t know which is worse. I think bo will take us down from within, probably far easier than Putin could from outside.

I guess Obama hasn't learned that “Dissent is Patriotic”.

None with zer0, no penalty. Chicago 3rd rate thugs are used to that sort of talk.

I’m afraid you may be right... MULLAH HUSSEIN(gloves OFF) will do more damage to this country than Putin could ever DREAM OF!

One of O’s first Big Mistakes.
Even Clinton was finally clever enough to figure out that making public ended up negative references to Rush hurting the President and not Rush.

If REPUBS had any they would counter that “Maybe O should stop being a Sorosbot if he want to get any REPUB respect and cooperation”.
