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.

Expect that to happen if Sarah Palin runs in 2012. She will be the perfect candidate to turn back Barack.
Only four days in office and he's shown what an unsophisticated cretin he is.
I mean, how many people still watch Archie Bunker because they identify with his hang-ups? And how many black comics still have a 'hate whitey' schtick? It's gone, man. Passe.
So pass me the 'collids' and biscuits if'n you would would, please. Thankew.
Obama will be a looking a lot like Jimmy C when he’s done. But right now the media is pumping him up like he’s a member of the football hall of fame.
Omaba is everybody’s favorite quarterback. The media can go to hell.
“There’s also 60mil armed white men under the age of 65. With ammo.”
These people HAVE to start commuinicating with one another pronto. In the age of the internet this should’nt be a very tall order.
Hilarious. This has got to be KILLING Hannity that he wasn’t the one mentioned..
“God save us all.”
In this matter we’ve got to work a hell of a lot harder for Him before He will do that. He smiled down upon our founding fathers for THEIR efforts.
It truly could be 1994 all over again with both democrat and republican incumbents losing with the GOP picking up large numbers.
And it could go very badly the other way if Obama decides to act like 1995-2000 Clinton and avoid the hard left of his party and not cater to their whims. The Rats could gain massive majorities that way.
I don't think Obama can do that though.
Bingo! This is harder than he thought and he may be surprised to realize that so many people disagree with him.
I would scream at the top of my lungs at such hypocrisy from Democrats if anyone would listen. They only want to work together to get their agenda. Republicans make me so frustrated that some of them will work with anyone if you just pat them on the head, regardless of agenda. Bush was so magnanimous and look where that got him. He didn't cajole dems into working together, he bent over to give them their way to make them happy. Every chance dems are out telling media what is wrong with Republican rule.
I thought about that too, and wondered how many new listeners Rush got after that episode.
PRICELESS ,the Hypocrit who waits till Friday Night with no press to sign the Executive order to have American Taxpayers fund Abortions all Over the World ,and Kill embryos for stem Cell Research then I read in My Morning Paper where Obama is quoted saying this “Our Law is by definition a Codification of Morality ,much of it grounded in the Judeo-Christian tradition”.
This guy is a Fraud who cannot take any kind of Criticism because it all hits home ,he Knows he is in over his head and is not qualified for this job and does not want to be reminded of it .
Remeber in his first News conference after being elected Senator from Illinois he was asked if he was going to be on the National Ticket for President and he said he does believe in applying for a job you are not qualified for. I agree you fraud are an idiot
He is setting himself up for Criticism as a CENSOR when he silences talk radio by letting people know that Rush Irks him.
Obama did say recently he would listen to all good ideas ,I guess that was another lie
Would make Dan's Bake Sale look like a neighborhood pot luck.
Tyrant = a sovereign or other ruler who has taken power and rules through illegal means
I'm sure what he said yesterday is the same thing he's said privately to so-called leaders on both sides of the aisle, but his time his hubris let him shoot his mouth off in a group, giving cover to anyone who chose to "leak" his comments.
I hope he continues to flap his lips, all puffed up with the belief that he will "rule" for years and no one can stop him. Let the public see what an arrogant, self-obsessed megalomaniac they have chosen in their assembled foolishness.
Reid, Daschle, and Clinton weren't a minority.
How did his little comments about McNabb turn out? Oh, it got him fired.
Rush convicted of an infraction with heavy fines and possible jail time at the hands of an admitted tax cheat is exactly the sort of thing I'd expect from this administration.
Isn’t that hilarious, the Great One, leader of the greatest nation on earth is afraid of a radio host who maintains his job and salary only because his program meets the needs of the people! If Rush didn’t perform he could be fired tomorrow. Wow! Wonder what the great one would say if he were to meet someone who hated this country, bet he be a real tiger!
The best we can hope for now is that we DON'T get things done. Republicans need to act like an opposition party for once.
