Rush Limbaugh: There Is ‘No Proof’ Tomorrow Is President Obama’s Birthday
by Frances Martel | 2:16 pm, August 3rd, 2010

Happy Birthday, President Obama! Tomorrow, our 44th president turns 49, and Rush Limbaugh would really love to wish him many happy returns, sincerely. Actually, that’s not true: This morning, Limbaugh refused to send good wishes to the President, because he doesn’t believe tomorrow is his birthday, since “we haven’t seen any proof of that.”

Limbaugh’s relationship with the birther movement is quite sophisticated– he’s never quite outright called himself a birther or legitimized their claims, but once in a while will make an indirect, tongue-in-cheek reference to an irrelevant topic that ties it together with the birther conspiracy (ie, “Obama would get deported in Arizona“). This works for him because it is entertaining, not bold enough to get him in hot water with the Republican Party, and just bold enough to make the birthers think he’s “in on it.” No one who would call Limbaugh out on flirting with the birthers would not have already condemned him for some other comment he has made on his show, which minimizes the possible damage. It’s a dance that many, most recently Louisiana Senator David Vitter, try to engage in with little success, but Limbaugh manages to balance rather skillfully.

Today’s birther nod was embedded in what began like a birthday message but ended as a condemnation of Democratic fundraisers’ exploitative tactics, taking a detour through Birther Square along the way:

“Tomorrow is Obama’s birthday– not that we’ve seen any proof of that– but tomorrow is Obama’s birthday, and they’re trying to rally Obama’s base by sending out fundraising letters… what? What?… We haven’t seen any proof of that!… Sorry, it is what it is.”

Dems Throw Fundraising Parties for The One's B-Day

RUSH: Washington Post: "Save the date, America. Democrats in Austin are throwing a Hawaiian-style luau Wednesday, complete with delicious 'tropical fruit, desserts and side dishes.' There’s a 'presidential potluck' in Phoenix, a '49 Candles for America' party in Des Moines and a 'Yes We Cake!' celebration in Evanston, Ill." Tomorrow is The One's birthday. The One is 49. "In need of an enthusiasm transfusion, the president’s political operatives are staging a nationwide birthday extravaganza for the president." Barack Hussein Obama, mmm, mmm, mmm. Donate some of your unemployment compensation money to the Obama birthday party. They say tomorrow's his birthday, but we really haven't seen any proof of that.

Rush is right. There is no proof tomorrow is Obama’s Birthday.

Of course this only matters to patriots.

The Obamanista’s do not care whether he has a birth certificate or not.

UKT: Obama Doesn't Give Birthday Presents to Kids

RUSH: You know, it was just a couple years ago, almost exactly two years ago that Obama told us that he does not buy his daughters birthday or Christmas presents. He doesn't. We're supposed to have a birthday party for him and donate to his campaign all over the country. It was a UK Telegraph story: "Obama Does Not Give Birthday Presents to Children," by Alex Spillius in Washington. "In a magazine interview Obama and his wife Michelle revealed that one of their steadfast house rules is not giving Christmas or birthday presents to Malia, 10, and Sasha, seven. The couple explained that they spend 'hundreds' on birthday slumber parties and want to 'teach some limits'. Santa Claus is still permitted to deliver seasonal gifts however," but the Obama parents do not. And yet birthday parties for The One all over the country where people are supposed to donate.

I have to admit there are some hardcore tinfoil hatters in the “birther” crowd but what I don’t understand is the harsh denunciations they receive from people who have no decisive proof that Barry is legitimately qualified to be president.

Actually, no.

He occasionally uses the birther lunacy to make a humorous point.

Nice try though.

$500 dollar sneakers, travel all over on other people's money, spend, spend, spend. And they want to teach what?

A heard Rush tweaking the LSM with this, this morning.

Everyday seems to be 0’Zer0’s b-day.

Everyday feels like what I imagine labor & child birth
to feel like.

El Rushbo should resolve the matter in the simplest manner: “Mr. President, if you are afraid to show us your birth certificate, it is obvious that you’re afraid of identity theft and you need LifeLock(tm) to protect you, and get some Carbonite to protect your data while you’re at it.”

Sounds like Obama’s used more than Lifelock to seal his records. More like Perma-Gone.

Yep - no one has proof and proof is hidden. Yet, many ‘act’ like they have proof when they know they don’t.

Too bad too many other so called “conservatives” have trashed the Birther movement...although Rush could show some more “cojones” and outright support those trying to get Obama’s real birth certificate....at least Rush is trying to show some indirect support

Remember...if you are not a Birther....you are an Obama supporter

The Obamanista’s do not care whether he has a birth certificate or not.

The worshipers of the Liberal Messiah believe whatever He tells them to believe. He says tomorrow is his birthday and so they will celebrate His birthday tomorrow. If after the celebration He tells them the next day is also His birthday, they will have the same celebration that day. They are mindless drones.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Well...We know what Christ does with those who are neither hot or cold. He spits them out of His mouth.

That's what I would do with Rush. I am DISGUSTED with how he has handled Obama’s eligibility.

If Rush can't wholeheartedly defend the Constitution ( **ALL** of it, even that natural born bit) when the only consequence would be a little ridicule from the Marxist media, then why on earth would we expect him to defend it in the face of real tyranny, jack boots at the door, and gas oven spewing smoke from the concentration camps? Huh?

If and when tyranny comes to this nation, Rush Limbaugh will sell his talents to the fascist oligarchy. He will spit shine the boots crushing our necks.

it’s all that black liberation theology blather they soaked up at Rev Wright’s church to make them super-parents & super-kids.
What a tragedy-no birfday prezzents & no cwissmass prezzents...........what a bummer of a childhood.

and you know what? it’s all just a lame excuse and fake philosophy and phony high-mindedness to get themselves out of mainstream lives to be fabian socialist/marxists or whatever the heck potus & flotus deem themselves to be and it detracts from a child’s experience of being a child and puts adult philosophical burdens on the child’s shoulders.
big parties and round the world trips can never make up for the eyes of a child when they receive a gift - expected or unexpected. These two clowns and their high-mindedness have sacrified their children’s childhood at the altar of black liberation theology AND i’m sure that Marian Robinson doesn’t agree with any of this and keeps her counsel. All the AFF ACC & purported attendance @ Columbia & ‘chelle’s education at Princeton & the law school don’t make a hill of beans. No wonder they opted for a Maine vacay instead of going to the Vineyard like they did last year. They can’t take the criticism and can’t handle the truth- and from the get-go last year ‘chelle was promptly labelled “ghetto” from the enclave up there and rightly so.
Like i said, these two clowns have sacrificed their children’s childhood at the altar of black liberation theology .

Yeah,maybe they want their kids to have a differant “life experience” be more intellectually advanced ,etc... but this kind of stuff -no presents- is just too off the beaten track for their kids to have similar experience as their peers and their peers ain’t attending Rev Wright’s Church if they are going to Sidwell Friends,etc....

Today i demand from anyone reading this post the next birthday party you attend and bring a gift.......bring one extra just to make up for the bad karma and thanks for reading my ranting post. I usually don’t ticked off that easy but this subject gets to me.

I laughed as soon as I heard it. Funny stuff. And if you would've listened long enough, you would've found out that it was the Big Media tweak of the day - and it worked.

What's it like for someone to crap in your Cheerios every single morning?
