In his new interview with CBS, President Obama refers to the "troublesome" talk and "vitriol" of Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck. "Keep in mind that there have been periods in American history where this kind of vitriol comes out," Obama says. "It happens often when you've got an economy that is making people more anxious, and people are feeling like there is a lot of change that needs to take place. But that's not the vast majority of Americans. I think the vast majority of Americans know that we're trying hard, that I want what's best for the country."
I asked Limbaugh what he thought about the president's comments. His program's popularity is undeniably soaring now, but has it risen and fallen with economic anxiety -- that is, was he less popular during times of economic security and more popular in times of economic worries? Since Limbaugh has been broadcasting nationally for more than 20 years, there ought to be some sort of pattern, if what Obama says is accurate.
"I have yet to have a down year at the EIB Network," Limbaugh responds. "I and most Americans do not believe President Obama is trying to do what's best for the country. Never in my life have I seen a regime like this, governing against the will of the people, purposely. I have never seen the media so supportive of a regime amassing so much power. And I have never known as many people who literally fear for the future of the country."
The point, Limbaugh says, is not that listeners are feeling anxiety about the economy, although many undoubtedly are. It's that they are feeling anxiety about the Obama agenda.
Amen to that . We need to have full scale aggressive protest in this country .It’s gone WAY too far already . Who is the leader ? Who is organizing? Am I being left out or is there NOTHING being done?
I have to agree. Unfortunatly. Atlas was a prophecy being fullfilled as I watch. I am trying to detach. 1st step is lawsuit and IRS proof. Then Self sufficient survival plan. Hoping for the best and planning for the worst. Even the best scenario is awful.
you and your lengthy vacations every month Rush
get a job.
/angry Rush is gone so much
that conservatives are the largest voting bloc in America
Then how did a Marxist wind up in the White House?
No I haven’t been smoking anything, but the other day after listening to Rush during the day and watching Youtube videos of Eric Clapton at night, I got to thinking that the two performers have a lot in common.
Rush makes a lot of great points, but that really isn’t his real genius. There are a lot of commentators who see the essential truth of what is going on.
His real genius is his ability to riff, free-form, for 3 hours at a time, mixing in impressions, humor, inside jokes, nicknames. He varies his speed of delivery, his voices, his level of seriousness, his topics. All the while appearing to do so effortlessly.
This is essentially what Clapton does with his chosen medium and why both performers are geniuses.
The fact that there are not riots in the streets over health care tells me a LOT.

Yep, in one of my posts last week I mentioned that there would be no revolution during the American Idol season and March Madness- perhaps during the baseball All-Star break...
The nearest we have come in the 20th Century was Hitler. What we are seeing, now, is the beginning of the final act that will usher in the Tribulation. During the Hitler era, Israel had not yet become a Nation. Now that prophesy has been fulfilled. We are seeing the stage set for OUR generation to be "taken up" or Raptured. This will spare all of those who are the true believers in Christ and not have to endure the entrance of the Antichrist. I am not saying Obama IS the Antichrist but he may be setting up his evil empire which will be revealed later. Isn't it a consequence that the 3 1/2 years after Obama was elected, it will be right before the election for his second term in office? From what we have seen in just one year, I wouldn't put it past him to overthrow the election process and make himself ruler for life. Just some thoughts.
We are out of money. Soon nobody will loan us anymore. They will all probably try to escape back to Mexico.
Therefore........you are right? Crikey, Barry, WE JUST WANT YOU TO SHOW YOUR MATH!!! Why is that so hard?
Please account for the $590 billion" stipulated savings" in "medicare fraud and abuse." Otherwise...just shut your tiresome yak-yaker.
The number of keyboard warriors right here on Free Republic who couldn't manage to attend any rallies, while loudly proclaiming their great commitment as shown by all the letters they'd written, told me everything. I no longer expect my fellow citizens to do a damn thing but knuckle under and whine.
It would be great if they did..More jobs for the citizens of this country..I am not downing Mexicans heaven knows they work hard for the money they get..but I am sure of a free hand out from Obama was in the works they would stay and collect money..or try to..Obama is a liar so he might promise them and then until election is over..Then they would be on their own..
It is Incredible. We have a president mocking more than 50 percent of the American people.
I wouldn’t expect this from a Kenyan President.
I thought Kenyans were more polite.
Rush doesn't engage in histrionics or alarmist talk. It's one of the top five indicators I have taken into account to conclude I am not completely insane in thinking it's about two minutes to midnight.
Or pitchforks :)
The US saw WW 11 looming...........it is believed that in 1940-41, Pres Roosevelt signed a secret order allowing US military personnel to resign their posts to join anti-axis military action.......preparatory to the US getting involved overseas.
Things change——a month in politics is an eternity-——thanks to Ohaha, people are MORE conservative.
I pray that every day. Because he has a target on his back. If they can not silence him with pressure, with new laws...they will kill him. For Obama to succeed, he has to shut up the opposition. Which is how all dictators operate. They bribe, they threaten, and they kill.
These are not days of equal opportunity and equal justice. These are days of reward and punishment for going along with the “party”....the communist administration.
That is fact.
I’m not comparing anything. I asked you to provide the date of the enactment of the law requiring American citizens to forfeit their citizenship if they served in a foreign power’s army. Do you have that date, or do you not?
The fact that there are not riots in the streets over health care tells me a LOT.
