WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House is keeping its distance from an entertainer's joke comparing commentator Rush Limbaugh to a terrorist.

They must really think we are stupid. They are always telling us that we did not see what we saw. They are so use to their disciples believing everything they say that they just can no imagine how real thinking people will react to their BS.

Oh please you saw what you wanted to see, he didnt laugh, next thing you will be telling me that he actually knew what Jeramiah Wright was preaching about or that he was aware of Bill Ayers terror activities when he went to breakfast at his house, you might even try to spread some B.S. like he was involved in business dealings with that convicted felon Tony Redzko or that he campaigned for the idiot Rod Blagovich, its hysterical the lengths that people that don’t like Obama would go you might even try to con me by saying he hired people to work for him that didn’t pay their taxes or hired some that even lobbyed the government, yeah right not this President, why would people make stuff up like this I mean, it would be like saying he appologized for America’s arrogance to the Europeans and never once mentioned America’s sacrifices to free Europe from Facism and Nazism, you might even try to convince me that he didn’t visit the American Cemetary at Normandy when he was there or try and say some hate filled thing like he Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, as if, or bettery yet he makes fun of special olympics kids, come on now What kind of fool do you take me for I mean you might as well say something completely outrageous like people that work for Obama intentially performed an overflight of NYC using Airforce one to terrorize citizens LOL... You People.

I think the 3/4 of America that did not vote for Obama are appalled to see the haughty career Royalty at feast while the country is in a major downturn crisis. And the arrogance is so unbridled that the numbers are growing...

...perhaps. But how do you explain this

Simple. He's a weak-kneed, sniffling ninny who thinks America owes the world an apology, despite the enormous amount of sacrifice we have made in bettering the world.

They're not trying to fool us. We think for ourselves, and they know it.

They're trying to calm their base and the wishy washy independents. They CAN be fooled - easily ( obviously - they voted for a frigging community organizer for gawds sake. DUH!).

You are probably right. They really don't care what we think.

At a nearby hotel the other day I talked to a diehard Obama fan.

He insisted that Obama did NOT bow.

LOL, he got quite loud and jumped right into talk-over mode when presented with facts.

The bartender was grinning.

For the last time... that is not the Statue of Liberty you see outside the aircraft's windows!

No, your eyes are lying to you... the President did not laugh at any of Wanda Sykes' jokes about Rush being the 20th high jacker or his kidneys failing!

I think Rush should fake a serious disorder with his kidneys and see what the White House says THEN.

Look, I think we’ve reached a point in the world’s situation, that there isn’t a way to greet the civilian corp at the door without total capitulation. Take a look at what tools are in our federal agencies’ tool kits, and tell me they wouldn’t use anything at their disposal on us in a matter of moments.

Who could be ready for that?

I think it’s time to make yourself right with the Lord and let Him sort it out. I hate to say it, but you and I don’t stand a chance against this government and what it would love to do.
