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.

"...if McNabb made the superbowl and won Rush would finally be discredited. Guess what? McNabb choked and they spent the next week with their heads hanging down trying to blame everyone else on the team and not McNabb. seems to me Rush won that battle too." I don't want to get into the middle of the argument between you two, but I enjoyed reading that about McNabb so much that I just wanted to post it again! *g*
How many years will they continue obsessing over Rush and McNabb, and how many more ways can they spin their stories without accidentally telling the truth?

I’m praying extra prayers for Rush because being part of the ‘political machine’ out of Chicago, there’s an even higher possibility of him waking up and finding a horse’s head in his bed or worse now, don’t you think?!? :-O
Thank you God for leaders like Rush who still have the courage and means to speak the truth of what is RIGHT (right as in on the side of good vs. evil, not right vs. left) to the masses! Looks like Rush, who has eschewed running for office, etc. in the past, may be lining up with Moses in some ways, doesn’t it?
Prayers going up as this ‘bipartisanship promises from the WH’ escalates!

Ya know, I often wonder if the "BOB THE BUILDER" people ever copyrighted that saying--"YES WE CAN!!!" ;-) If they had they'd all be billionaires now after a ton of lawsuits, LOL!
"America is broke!"
(Because you liberals want to keep taking away our money and uprooting every moral and ethical standing in the USA!!!)
"Can we fix it?!"
(If it ain't broke, don't fix it, d'oh! Stop spending $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ you don't have and stop hiking taxes and fees!!!!)
"YES WE CAN!!!"
(Can We the People fight back to save TRUTH, JUSTICE, AND THE AMERICAN WAY????)

The left has been investigating him for years. Remember how they illegally got his doctor records during the drug scandal and slandered him for doctor shopping when there was no evidence.
Rush will be ok. It's the left that hates him and the system that allows him to speak.

My concern is for more tangible *physical* danger to Rush’s person! These people will do anything to cover themselves and promote their anti-American agendas—I just pray that Rush has some very good bodyguards and security coverage!!

Yes, He is!! And Rush actually acknowledges that fact and gives praise to God for his talents!!
May God protect Rush and keep him safe—he’s taking on dangerous people in this fight!

Phantom, I think your correct in your analysis. My sole point was that the attack on Limbaugh was Dem. Playbook 101-(religious right, extreme right- blah,blah). I dont share this visceral fear of PresO that some conservatives have. Tactically, imo, Bill Clinton in the White House (through Hillary) would have been infinitely worse for conservatives- Give the Devil his due, Clinton is a genius political tactician- PresO is merely the p.r. man for the globalist Washington machine.
I think youre absolutely right that the climate might produce a Pub backlash, similar to 1994. The problem is that the Conservative Class 94 was chewed up and swallowed by the Moscow Leviathan on the Potomac. So, for conservatives, taking back Washington is no real solution- taking down Washington is- and I think that can only occur through a union of red states..
My two cents, anyway. -:)
