[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Obama will lose this public fight, and badly.

[DeaconRed]

Let the F'NG Games Begin.
This might just be what we need to take our country back from Liberal Whores! ! ! !

I don't know the Reps have done a very good job separating themselves form the conservative base.

"...it's getting harder and harder keeping it to myself."

I reckon we just sent out the word.

Good catch, Cindy. Major Garett's piece gives a little broader view of the exchanges.Obama Says His View on Taxes Prevailed Because 'I Won'

............"Obama explained that lawmakers were closer together than the public realized on the stimulus package but warned of pitfalls if Congress and the White House don't work together. Again, according to participants in the meeting, Obama said this about rising above typical partisan differences: "We're all political animals, we've all got political bases," the president is reported to have said. "If we don't get this done we (the Democrats) could lose seats and I could lose re-election. But we can't let people like Rush Limbaugh stall this. That's how things don't get done in this town.""................

............"The "I won" comment came after Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va., said Republicans believed cutting income taxed would do more to stimulate economic growth than providing a $500 per person payroll tax refund for individuals earning less than $200,000. The president said, according to those present, that this was an important philosophical divide between Republican and Democrats and that it had already been settled -- and would remain settled -- because he won the election."..............

.............."Democrats called it a light-hearted moment that drew laughs around the table. Republicans said there was laughter but couldn't recall if any of it came from their ranks."...............

..............."In the biggest concession of all, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has said the package should pass by mid-February, the Democrats' line-in-the-sand legislative deadline. By refusing to threaten a filibuster to block the bill, McConnell is guaranteeing passage of a bill that reflects Democratic priorities and reaches Obama's desk on his timeline."..............

Bill Clinton practically accused Rush of causing the Oklahoma City bombing. That was Clinton’s try at intimidation...now it’s the Usurper’s turn. It’s not going to work—all hot air.

As Rush is fond of saying in response to Colin Powell, obviously the Republican party does NOT listen to Rush anyway and has not for years. What is BHO cryin' about?

The war on the conservative voices in media has just been escalated.

[LimaLimaMikeFoxtrot]

Wow..just wow. Rush Limbaugh cannot STALL ANYTHING Mr. Obama. He is a private citizen. Republican opposition can stall it.. oh wait, what am I thinking? Now if he is referring to the people with common sense who make up Rush's audience that's a different matter.

This is gonna be like throwing rocks at an Abrams for BHO. I predict epic failure on multiple levels in this administration.

Obama will lose this public fight, and badly.

You had better believe he will! Rush could have won him in the bid for Presidency if he had chosen to run!!!!

[omega4179]

Proof that Rush is the maharushie.

[jackv]

Oh my! This is going to be fun!!! BO taking on Rush?????
I was watching Rush on with Haniity the other night and thought to myself, “bo will not have this”.
Wow-—that didn’t take long!!
Watch your back, Rush!!

[BOBTHENAILER]

Several opening shots across our bow. Beware the cult of personality. It will come back and bite them.

[zeebee]

Go ahead. Make my day.

[null and void]

But you’re a lying, Marxist, Kenyan a-hole, and Rush speaks the truth.

I’ll believe Rush.

You arent my President, jerk.

Indeed, you may not be president at all. Show your full birth certificate, if you dare.

[null and void]

I look for Zero and his friends in congress to remove conservative talk radio from the airwaves within two years. They can not stand any criticism.

Two years? The Nazi party banned all other political parties within 3 months of Hitler's election.

“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done”.

And that’s a bad thing, because.....
