Radio host Rush Limbaugh said Monday that President Obama is “frightened of me.”
“He’s obviously more frightened of me than he is [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell,” Limbaugh told listeners. “He’s more frightened of me, then he is of say, [House Minority Leader] John Boehner, which doesn’t say much about our party.”
Limbaugh’s comments followed reports Obama warned GOP congressional leaders last week that they should stop listening to the conservative talker, who had said on air he wanted the new president to fail.
"Now this is the great unifier," he told listeners Monday. "This is the man who's going to unify everybody and usher in a new era of bipartisanship and love."

how an empty suit rose to such prominence?
He can’t touch Rush. Rush can break the fairy hold.
Political House and Senate Republicans can be bought like the Malta dock whores they are.

“Malta dock whores”
Good one!
Cockroaches always fear the light.....
The comments at the link tell a different story. (Thanks for posting. Interesting. I was wondering what happened as I had to work today and just got home.)
Somebody said not to pick fights with people who buy ink by the barrel. If Richard Nixon is any indication, that holds true for presidents too.
Think about this: by admonishing the GOP to “stop listening to Rush,” Obama has laid a nice little trap for himself. When he calls for the fairness doctrine to be reinstated, Rush and the rest of the Right can say “well, he couldn’t get you to stop listening by asking, so now he’s going to achieve that result by force.”
oh yes it is ! what I can’t understand is Ofreako’s choice when picking a fight?
is it that difficult to go about the business of state , i.e., being POTUS and start out name-calling on a radio show host? I ‘ve listened to Rush many years but he’s not the only guy out here, either. Why not pick on Mark Levin?
In my mind Ofreako has just cemented his level of intelligence as POTUS, and that’s pretty low to me.
GET A LIFE YOU FRAUD POTUS!
Our party?
Hmmmm. Lost me there. I'm from the party of Reagan. The GOP is from where these days?

Huge error on the part of the president to pick this fight.
It really blows the cover off of his boondoggle and reveals it to be not quite as “non-partisan” as he would like the people to believe.
Puts the whole plan at risk- it may still pass- but a number of Democrats may not be happy with the idea of taking all of the political blame for it.
The last President to complain about Rush was Clinton. It made him look like a pussy and it will make Obama look the same.
Rush better increase the body detail.
I agree...and a propaganda machine that is second to none in history.
