"Why could this bite (or byte, as the case may be) Obama? Because he allowed — and probably helped plan — this all out attack on a mere talk radio guy by his White House staff and all the Old Media folks they control. Folks like George Stephenapolous, Paul Begala and James Carville have filled the airwaves with the talking points they’ve been handed. On top of that even Obama’s Chief of Staff and his Press Secretary have engaged the radio talker in verbal attacks."

A professor from Columbia took time out to weigh in on Rush's debate challenge but failed to comment on the role of Begala-Carville-Stephanopoulos in vulgarizing public discourse? There's some kind of problem there.

President Obama is quickly rushing himself into a no win scenario. It is fast coming to a point where Rush Limbaugh wins no matter what. And that right there is funny no matter who you are.

I know Rush is laughing his rearendo off because he’s thinking....What the hell? A sitting president of the United States is coming after me? Bring it on O’Bozo! It’s already a win-win for Rush. Obambi has a hell of a lot more things to be concerned about than his ego!

Won’t happen and it shouldn’t. I also wouldn’t have wanted to see Bush debating Olbermann.

C'mon! Where is the credit to Larry the Cable Guy?

The “Assistant Professor” I mention above developed the theme that Rush is a “clown” that is beneath the attention of the President of the United States. He went on to claim that should Obama deign to debate Limbaugh the president would help Limbaugh “gain in status” simply by engaging the radio talker. To a certain degree Limbaugh himself agrees with the basic concept of his uplift by Obama.

So explain to me why, based on the same premise, would Obama ever talk with Ahmadinejad or Hamas?

The author missed an important point... the White House has declared that they see Rush as the leader of the opposition party.

If nothing else, it shut Barry and his peeps up.

I did not know that Obama had any credibility. If he cannot take his teleprompter there will be no debate.

[Piquaboy]

I agree with you. Barack and his surrogates are showing their immaturity in replying to Rush.

[GOLDCLAW]

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!!!

So, as you may have guessed, I ascribe to this theory. If I were president and an unhinged lefty radio twerp were challenging me to a debate, I would ignore the situation entirely.

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.

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.

the final line is already here.
