PREZ ZINGS GOP FOE IN A $TIMULATING TALK
NY Post ^ | Jan. 23, 2009 | Charles Hurt

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.

While discussing the stimulus package with top lawmakers in the White House's Roosevelt Room, President Obama shot down a critic with a simple message.

"I won," he said, according to aides who were briefed on the meeting. "I will trump you on that."

NAH....Bambi will NEVER call in to Rush....Rush is a MAN....bambi is a metrosexual....and is surrounded by them. Plus, he can’t work off the cuff and Rush would not let him use his program as a venue....without questioning....but, I could be wrong.

This should play well to the core lib support he needs and he's building an excuse for who to blame when it all fails and we start feeling real socio-economic pain. The latest vintage of the fairness doctrine will be an easy sell when the time is right with gun control right behind. Holder will do Obama’s bidding without hesitation. He wants these things as much as Obama does.

TWO THINGS:


1. When is Hussein going to pull a John Edwards and get that mole removed off his nose?
2. Hey HUSSEIN! The problem with the Republicans was that they WEREN'T listening to Rush Limbaugh, ya jerk.

"Hope Rush is ready for it."

Me too. With extra security, extra security and some more security and some friends in very high places. We've seen Waco, Vince Foster, TWA 800, the weathermen bombings and all sorts of mischief and mayhem.

Wearing my tin foil hat or not, I believe that this current bunch is capable of anything and now they have a compliant press along with total power and access to do whatever and no one to tell them they can't.

Haha! Poor widdle Hussein.

Being from majority Chicago, he's NEVER had to negotiate with conservatives. He's always gotten his way.

He doesn't know how to do this "negotiation" stuff. AND he's never LED anything in his life!!

Wow...he's in for a big suprise.

"There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats," the official said.

No doubt. Like trillion-dollar socialist bailouts to crooks, for instance.

“Maverick” McCain needs to learn very soon, that to conservatives, he's dead. Yesterday.

I suggest a new sign-on for Rush: "Let's Roll."

The only thing to do with this arrogant prick now is refuse to support anything he does. Let him and the Democrats in congress have all the rope they want. They will hang themselves very quickly in their overreaching arrogance.

I think the principle of separation of media and state is a penumbra and emanation of the constitution. Other than that, Obama can buzz off. I like division between the two parties, and gridlock. I will watch who and what I want.

Looks like Barry’s still smoking.

As for Barry’s lunacy that him winning the presidency has anything to do with individual congresscritters across the country, he may need to go back to government class. I hope my senators and congressman vote according to principles that promote freedom.

Obama seemed to make clear that he is taking ownership of the stimulus package. Presidents for years have started their day with a daily intelligence briefing about the threats in the world. In a sign of the times, Obama is now including a daily economic briefing in his schedule.

Some are arguing that this "stimulus package" is a giant step toward "remaking" America into a European-style socialist country. Whatever, it's very important to Present Obama.

It's a Marxist revolution from the top down IMO. The 1960s Marxist street rabble along with their ideological issue are in power. No need for revolution from the streets.

Widespread street violence may be necessary however to create Obama's People's Domestic Defense Corps or whatever.. so they'll be stirring up violence. I bet.
