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.

Those people who listened to Obama speaking in the inauguration said it was like if God spoke to them. They act like if Obama is the second coming.

Don’t get too excited about this. I have it on good authority that the ACLU called Barry and advised him that we have free speech in this country and he has to let Rush speak no matter how objectionable he finds his words. Shortly thereafter the White House released a statement saying that Rush will be permitted to speak freely, but the military has been instructed to shoot anyone who listens...

Bill Clinton had it right all along. Obama is a Chicago thug. But a dangerous thug now with the power of the Presidency and he has no tolerance for criticism. God bless you Rush. We will fight with you to keep Freedom of Speech.

Hussein Slowbama was presumptuous in his accusation. He would not have any idea what anybody listens to unless they tell him. I did NOT ever listen to Limbaugh until this last election cycle! I've always listened to FM music stations.

So, not only do we have a Muslim President, we have a presumptuous Muslim President.

I listen to Rush when I’m out running errands in my van.

The comments on the actual NY Post page are also very eye opening. The vast majority are anti-Obama. I’m starting to feel a flicker of hope in my nation again!

One guy just kept posting old classic quotes from Ronald Reagan. Gosh I got pangs of nostalgia with these!!!

___________________________________

Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
Ronald Reagan

Government always finds a need for whatever money it gets.
Ronald Reagan

How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
Ronald Reagan

I’ve never been able to understand why a Republican contributor is a ‘fat cat’ and a Democratic contributor of the same amount of money is a ‘public-spirited philanthropist’.
Ronald Reagan

Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders.
Ronald Reagan

Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
Ronald Reagan

Within the covers of the Bible are all the answers for all the problems men face.
Ronald Reagan

They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong.
Ronald Reagan

I’ve noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.
Ronald Reagan

Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
Ronald Reagan

The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’
Ronald Reagan

Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. And recovery is when Jimmy Carter (update: Obama) loses his.
Ronald Reagan

Today, if you invent a better mousetrap, the government comes along with a better mouse.
Ronald Reagan

I could’ve sworn that El Rushbo mentioned earlier this week that he wondered how long it would be before Obama started attacking/whining about him...4 days.

He did. I'm pretty pissed. I had the over. Lost millions in Vegas )-:

And from the White House website on “Civil Rights” we have:

“End Racial Profiling: President Obama and Vice President Biden will ban racial profiling by federal law enforcement agencies and provide federal incentives to state and local police departments to prohibit the practice. “

ISN’T “AFFIRMATIVE ACTION” ACTUALLY A FORM OF “RACIAL PROFILING???”

Obama’s hypocrisy is so patently obvious...

Slam dunk!

What's wrong with listening to an American citizen?  Is Rush not ivy league enough for this uppity president.

There are plenty of women, too.

Yeah. I’m just worried that it will make my blood pressure go through the roof. Not from stress or pressure, but from all the salt in the popcorn I’ll be eating while I watch the carnage.

The first Lincoln, as I recall, had newspaper editors who disagreed with him jailed.

This guy is more Lincolnesque every day. And this is only Day 4.

Odds of this ending well are plummeting.

Hail to our new Caesar!
We now have someone that dictates what we must do to be bipartisan. Oprah, Hollywood liberals, Streisand, Bruce Springsteen, and the rest of you liberal idiots, “Hail to the new Caesar you voted for!”

"There's also 60mil armed white men under the age of 65. With ammo."

You really don't want to make this a racial war, do you? Don't you think there are about as many black, brown, and yellow men AND women who have a stake in protecting our constitution?

Better think twice about that.

ROFL. This from the party whose Senate jackal Harry Reid has weekly conferences with DailyKosScum and all kinds of other wild Moonbats -— not that Rush is in any way comparable to the scum of the left, but c’mon, Obambi, if you want to complain about stuff like this why don’t you take on your own party?
