It is refreshing to interview someone as straightforward and truthful as David Limbaugh. He is what he is: a God-fearing, flag-waving, freedom-loving American patriot with a brilliant legal mind.
His new runaway bestselling book, “Crimes Against Liberty: An Indictment of President Barack Obama,” has struck a chord with the public, debuting at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list.
An unusual page-turner for its genre, Limbaugh’s book presents exactly what the title suggests: a meticulous case against the President of the United States for his unprecedented assault on ordered liberty and the American way of life.
The cumulative impact of the evidence Limbaugh has compiled in his book is breathtaking. And footnoted.

HE: Which brings us to the case you make in your book against Obama the Bully. It seems to me that Obama doesn’t much like the actual job of being President, he just likes imposing on everybody what he thinks is best for them.
LIMBAUGH: I agree with you. I don’t think he’s a details guy. I think he’s a big policy guy and he wants to issue his edicts and expect his minions to get it done. [LAUGHS] As with the Gulf oil spill: “Just plug the damn hole!”
Obama called financial institutions “fat cat bankers” and you want to tell me this guy’s sophisticated and presidential? “Fat cat bankers”! That’s disgusting! Saying it is un-presidential is about the nicest thing I can say about it.
During speeches like the State of the Union when other presidents were trying to be unifying, he says if anybody misrepresents his plans he’ll call them out. This is street thug language! This is Chicago street thug organizing behavior.
He attacks Fox News as not being a news organization like other news organizations. He tried to shut Fox News out of the news for an interview of Pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg because Major Garrett had been asking some tough questions. So the administration tried to punish Fox. In that case, though, the other news organizations in the White House news pool defended Fox, to their credit, and the administration had to relent.
And let’s not forget when Obama said, through Mr. Gibbs, this fine creature serving us as White House press secretary, that he would keep his boot on the throat of BP.
Is this guy Don Corleone? Can you imagine the outrage if Tony Snow had said that?
He has mocked the Tea Partiers. His own Department of Homeland Security implied Tea Partiers are domestic terrorists and suggested that veterans coming back from service in the military with right wing views are one nurse shy of serial killer Richard Speck.
But as dictatorial actions go, Obamacare is the crowning blow when you consider the disgraceful manner by which he crammed it down our throats through lying, cheating, legislative trickery and bribing. After he had failed in his earlier attempt to pass it and the public had soundly repudiated him in the Massachusetts senate election (which was clearly a referendum on the Obama agenda, especially Obamacare), his response was he had to get the American people to take a second look at his plan. He wasn’t chastened, he wasn’t humble, he wasn’t contrite in the State of the Union speech. He gave no indication he heard or cared what the people said. He went back, forced it through against the will of the people then claimed a victory on our behalf and pledged to continue working for us.
HE: I promise this is not a birther question. A great deal of Obama’s influences and the shaping of who he is actually came from third world politics outside of America…
LIMBAUGH: I agree. I have not focused much on the birther question. I don’t know what the final facts are, I’m not sure we’ll ever know, but regardless of where he was born, the reason the Framers wanted to keep a foreign-born person from becoming president was that they distrusted their innate loyalties. Whether or not Obama is an actual American citizen, he has the instincts of someone who cannot stand America.
I think he has visceral contempt for pre-Obama America. He displays the attitude of his mother and stepfather, and his mentor, Franklin Marshal Davis. In his book he describes his mother’s disdain for America. He married a woman who believes America is downright mean. He ran with America-hating leftists. He attended an America-bashing church. He promised fundamental change -- something that one who loved this nation and its founding principles would never do. He embarked on a world apology tour -- denouncing America as arrogant, dismissive, selfish, imperialistic and historically blemished. Has he no appreciation for America’s role as a liberator of people? Of our unparalleled record of magnanimity as the world’s sole superpower? He obviously disapproves of the free market system, despite having boasted that he was a fierce advocate of it. He seems to want to bring America down to size; to right the alleged (mythical) wrongs, to correct the inequities in wealth. I seriously believe he has a grudge against America. It’s personal.
SNIP
HE: Are you trying to make the case that Obama should be impeached before 2012?
LIMBAUGH: No. This book is a comprehensive indictment and listing of Obama’s abuses of power and his misrepresentations and his bullying and his conceit and his narcissism and how his personal characteristics, when coupled with his irrepressibly extreme left wing ideology, spells disaster for America. The cumulative evidence I’ve documented is staggering. One reader Tweeted that he began to highlight the book for salient points and had to quit because every sentence was being highlighted.
I am not alleging in the book that he has committed infractions under the criminal code, that he’s a common criminal. I am not suggesting that he has committed high crimes and misdemeanors so as to constitute impeachable offenses under the Constitution. I am not advocating and do not advocate in the book that we initiate impeachment proceedings if for no other reason than I think it would backfire and it would make him a victim and it would play into his hands. Even the relatively small number of liberals who are disgusted with the destructive path he’s taken us on would flock back to him, thinking it was an excessive partisan exercise. If we were less cynical about the Constitution and the rule of law, then Obama may well be in jeopardy at least of an impeachment inquiry. His abuses of power that I detail in the book are stunning. But again, I’m not advocating impeachment. Let’s beat him at the ballot box.
But if you asked me if I honestly think he’s committed infractions that might rise to the level? Oh, yeah. But that’s not the thrust of my book or its purpose.
Just finishing up on Laura’s book, might have to read David’s next. ...Glenn’s will have to wait.
The feeling is most certainly mutual.
he is right
...of course he doesn’t like America...he’s a child of the Pacific Rim...he’s not of the anglo/european-judeo/christian culture...he’s not assimilated into the dominant culture of this country.

Nothing says anarchy quite like a ruling elite that decides on its whim whether to prosecute the laws as written. And then, only to protect some of the people that it favors.
He got elected with an ‘America Sucks’ campaign.
Wee-Wee Won Obama has no clue of what it means to be an American. All his formative years were spent overseas, raised by a mother who despised America.
How many 4th of July parades did he go to as a child?
How many school bake sales did his mom participate in?
How many church and or family picnics did he go to?
Did he ever slack off with his pals at a Saturday matinee at the movies?
Was he ever in Little League?
We all have a collective cultural experience of being an American, things we can all just about relate to. He can’t understand us because his experience is foreign.
The children of overseas based military and American missionaries abroad usually have parents who do love this country and try to infuse it into them by example. They get that they are Americans, even if they are living in say, Germany or S.Korea.
Poor lil’ Barry did not get this.
I believe Obama needs to be impeached, tried for treason and brought to justice.
Love the graphic...how do you add graphics to posts?
Said he was a White Sox fan but could not name one player. He’s mostly a liar. But that’s what libs do - lie.
Spot on analysis. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for this post, Kristinn. imho, the title sums up Mr. Obama’s policies....he has a grudge against America.
Reading it now. Very good.
Love the graphic...how do you add graphics to posts?

I, too, would love to know. Some of them are so amazing!
Well if he HAS committed infractions that rise to the level of impeachable offenses, then he needs to be investigated and impeached. The man is a disgrace to the office of President and should be removed at the earliest possible opportunity.
Impeach Obama!!!
Now I will vote for that. Can Biden be included in that impeachment??? I can’t imagine letting the fool gaff machine named Biden take the Presidency...perish the thought.
But we will probably need to wait until the next Congress is sworn in.
And while we are at it...can we go ahead and start impeachment of all the activist federal judges???
Where Clinton flopped around and seemed distracted and led around by Hillary, Obama has clear determination of where he wants to take this country.
He's like melding Bill and Hillary together into one person, more or less perfected.
We have not yet seen the REAL Barack Obama though. His minions are waiting for him to show the world his "real" stuff. After he gets routed in the November elections, it will be interesting to see his real face.
