President Obama is pursuing a "radical" agenda that is putting the economy and national security in peril, talk show host Rush Limbaugh told "Fox News Sunday," giving the young president failing grades across the board and standing by his sustained criticism of the administration.
The conservative radio host assailed the administration for its economic stimulus package, health care reform plan and alleged uncertainty over the way forward in Afghanistan. In a wide-ranging interview, he called Obama a "child" driven by his "out-of-this-world ego."
And he predicted that Obama, who built a broad-based majority over Republican candidate John McCain a year ago, would not win a second term.
"I'm really, really worried. We've never seen this kind of radical leadership at such a high level of power in the country," Limbaugh said. "I don't think we're better off in any way it could be measured."
Limbaugh is one of the administration's fiercest critics and has often found himself in the White House crosshairs as a result. Top White House aides blasted Limbaugh earlier in the year for saying he wanted Obama to fail as president.
Months later, Limbaugh has only doubled down on his criticism.
"He's immature, he's inexperienced -- in over his head," Limbaugh said of the president. He repeated former Vice President Dick Cheney's charge that Obama is "dithering" on deciding a strategy for the war in Afghanistan.
And Limbaugh scoffed at the administration's claim that hundreds of thousands of jobs have been saved or created by February's economic stimulus package, saying the government has become the job engine -- not the private sector.
"I believe that the economy is under siege," he said.
White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod, reacting to the interview Sunday, downplayed Limbaugh's comments, saying: "We'll let Mr. Limbaugh foment."

An entertainer? That's hilarious, only a few months ago Axelrod and Co. were telling us that Rush is head of the Republican party.
Continue telling the truth Rush!!
You vud qvestion der Obameister?
I hope Rush does more interviews. WHOOHOO!!!
Axelboy picks Rush’s role according to the needs of the socialists/marxists ..... today they need him to be an “entertainer”....
Rush was excellent on Fox this morning. Two best conservative spokesfolks these days are Dick Cheney and then Rush. Liz Cheney is pretty damn good as well.
I think you probably meant "fulminate," Axelgrease. What a putz.
That is IF the Kenyan IS the President.
“But I think the American people are well-served and believe they’re well-served.”
Replace “well-served” with “serviced” and you’ve got it.
The GOP will run another Bush/McCain in 2012
What does it matter if he is only a one-term president? After his first term the country won’t need a president.
Yes, but who will the Conservative Party run?
It means that the term president will no longer be applicable but rather, "His Lordship" or "King Obama" after he finishes off our Constitutional form of government and replace it with a fascist regime.

Given a chance, absolutely. Remember Bush1 was the GOP's man, Reagan was the outsider. The Bushes, Dole, McLame... all GOP party choices. Palin was a Reaganlike Republican, used by the party to try to solidify support behind McLame. The GOP party will never support her, unless forced to do so. Never expect the GOP to give us another Reagan, we have to do that ourselves.
Axelrod is a fool and America 2009 is begining to look like Germany 1935.
