“Once big difference. Bush never went after Olbermann.”
Doesn’t matter. Any president debating an unelected entertainer — and yes Rush is a political entertainer — is a bad idea. Obama can criticize and Rush can hit back. They both have a big microphone.
I’ll work on it this evening or this weekend.
Just picturing it makes me laugh out loud.

“If Bush had done those things, and Olberman challenged him to debate, he would have been a coward not to.”
I guarantee you that if this had happened, Bush would not have debated. And that would have been the right decision.
Exactly why?
Doesn’t matter.
You bet it does. A government and the ruling party, attacking a private citizen for his use of the 1st Amendment, ist chickensh!t if it refuses to debate him.
They have elevated him to the position of opposition leader... so how about a bit bipartisanship?
Exactly. When you get down to brass tacks, Obama was walking around town insulting and belittling Rush. In response, Rush challenged him to a duel in the method of today, an open honest debate. (Like Lincoln!)
Obama the coward did not show.
I did not know that Obama had any credibility. If he cannot take his teleprompter there will be no debate.
Obama’s a coward. And if Bush continually attacked a citizen, and refused to debate him when called on it, he would have been too.
The solution is that if Rush is as beneath him as you claim, the POTUS should just ignre him, and not SAY he is the leader of the opposition.
buk buk buk buk buk
Ba RAAAAACK
Id like to see em duel, WITH a single bullet each. Olbermans wuss and dishonest character would cause him to miss his shot or to be a “no show”. (Like Obama at the McCain debates,,,Obama at the Rush debates,,etc,,,)
Obama knows that he could never win a debate with Rush Limbaugh-—Rush would feed this socilist/liberal muslim to the sharks!!!—The Revolution is Coming!!!
I guarantee he would have, and that is exactly why Bush wouldnt lower himself to attack a news reporter in the first place. You have it exactly backwards.
Nice try, but it's Obama and his minions that are trying to paint Rush as the face and leader of the republican party. Rush didn't make that claim, the democrats did. President Bush never identified some left wing radio twerp as the leader of the democrat party and started to build straw man arguments based upon that. This is entirely a creation of Obama, so it's a little late to suggest Obama should simply ignore it...he should have ignored it in the first place...it is Obama who is displaying hypocrisy.
Hey BAMA, you lost already.
I do like the idea of billboards asking for the debate. This could also be used on the RALLY signs, debate RUSH you fool.
Its also interesting to see the so-called unbiased media run with the White House meme that Rush is the ‘leader of the Republicans’ which is absurd. He is leader of the conservatives, which is vastly different.
there is no recall of a President. The only way is impeachment and Senate removal trial.
Have you ever tried to listen to Obottom try to speak without a teleprompter? It’s literal torture. He can string an entire sentence together. He stutters and stammers and repeats part phrases and words because he CANA’T THINK of what to say. He makes former President Bush sound like a linguistic genius. The guy is a complete failure at absolutely everything. Only thing is is the guy is so dangerous and the people surrounding him are equally dangerous. He’s a complete megalomaniac!! God Help America soon. May those masses of folks that had a suppository of hate toward Pres. Bush shoved up their butts for so long that they were blind, WAKE UP and throw these bums out. It’s the only thing that will save your country. I don’t think any of us have ever witnessed such destruction being done to a nation in such lightning speed. CO
Correction: Make that “he CAN’T” string an entire sentence together. CO
