Rush Limbaugh is striking back at President Barack Obama.
On Friday, the nation's top-rated radio host hit back at Obama, saying the president isnt telling the truth and doesn't have the support of the American people.
The controversy started Thursday, when Obama used an interview with CBS' Harry Smith to level a broadside at Limbaugh and Fox News host Glenn Beck.
Smith asked Obama if he is aware of the level of enmity that crosses the airwaves and that people have made part of their daily conversation" about him, including being called a Nazi and socialist.
Obama shot back, "Well, I think that when you listen to Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, it's pretty apparent, and it's troublesome, but keep in mind that there have been periods in American history where this kind of vitriol comes out."
The president said, "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."
Limbaugh didn't take Obama's comments lightly.
In a response on his radio show, also posted to rushlimbaugh.com, the talk radio king said, Who has called him a Nazi? Who do we know that has called him a Nazi? Socialist? Yeah. Stalinist? Yeah. Marxist? Yeah. Nazi? We have compared healthcare in America to what the Nazis tried to do in Germany and get the control of the people going in that regard.
As for Obamas claim to have the peoples support, The American people do not think that Barack Obama is doing what's best for the country, Limbaugh said.

Apparently, about 53% of voters weren't seeing the same facts as you last November. Or maybe they were and that's what they wanted.
Really the MSM in all fairness needs to be running a disclaimer after each BO fluff piece saying “This message and the views you have just heard from “CNN News Room, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, HLN...”(pick one) is a paid advertisement in partnership with Barrack Hussein Obama President for Life Campaign.”
me for one...
“Well, I think that when you listen to Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, it’s pretty apparent, and it’s troublesome, but keep in mind that there have been periods in American history where this kind of vitriol comes out.”
Must mean bombings by Bill Ayers and the Weathermen?
The SDS days of rage?
Hmmmmmmmmmmm?
Then check out the Invesco Stadium 'set' in Denver...You will likely recognize the style.
Read my tag line and then be even more afraid. Even if Obama is removed (for some reason) will his confirmed SCOTUS appointees be remove?
Who would do that? SCOTUS? Congress?
Half this country are real suckers and I fear for where our country can go from right here.
Just have them put, “I’m Barack Obama, and I approved this message.”
Didn't work out too well for Bill Clinton, either, did it? He may have gotten himself re-elected, with the help of an ineffective Republican Party, but he certainly didn't survive with any sort of good reputation intact.
Hey, Rush was still right about the media doing affirmative coverage for McNabb. The Eagles have now traded the loser to the loser Redskins!!! Ha Ha Ha!!!
Gee, Obama, we listen to the truth; not your big fat lies.
And don’t forget he road the anti-Bush “Swiftboating” rhetoric all the way to the White House.
Brilliant! I couldn’t think of a way to say the equivalent to “don’t pick a fight with a man who buys ink in 55 gallon drums”
But Rush has become a liberal......living rent free inside Obama’s head ;-)
If I were a gambler, I’d guess Rush has an escape hatch at the ready and his wealth newly secured in places the American government can not touch it. As his security becomes more solidified, I expect him to become more vocal.
0bama’s ego is clearly marked ``fragile’’.<<<
Precisely why he is a very dangerous person!!
Am I the only one who thinks that zer0's reply is incoherent?
My tagline! You haz it! Thanks!
Well!It must be hell being President,,Right Obama.?
