PRESIDENT OBAMA TAKES ON RUSH LIMBAUGH IN NEW MEDIA WAR
WASHINGTON -- President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.
"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.
One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.
"There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats," the official said. "We shouldn't let partisan politics derail what are very important things that need to get done."
That wasn't Obama's only jab at Republicans today.

Can’t wait for Rush on Monday .. should be a great show!
Take your “warning” and shove it, Obama.
And so it begins...
president of the usa feels threatened by a talk radio host
Excuse me there is a thing called free speech...
And it begins, Barry can not win this one.
Free speech you dumbass.
Obama will show up at a Battle of Wits with Rush unarmed.
Bill Clinton whined about Rush, and THAT didn’t get him very far!
Ha, GO RUSH! He’s gotten under Lord Obamination’s thin skin!
Someone sounds a little scared! Bring it man child!
He’s got all the Clinton stooges, may as well just rerun everything.
Hope Rush’s tax returns for the last thirty years are neat and tidy.
Wow super pointless remark by Obama, man he is just a textbook liberal stereotype.
Yeah dude we really CAN listen to Rush Limbaugh.
That whole “you get your ideas from Rush Limbaugh” thing is just childish liberal talk.
ROFLMAO — and I am sure Rush is too. The little crackpot dictator thinks he is in Kenya.
Odummer can’t seem to get the hang of the free speech, free country, liberty thing can he.
Ain’t it that truth? He’s AFRAID of the truth......and it spreading to his zombies under his control.
God bless this new post-racial America.
Neither can I, but that's a problem for me and my employer.
This is gonna get good. I think I’ll start paying attention to this. Rush is no wimpy weak-kneed RINO. Caligula ain’t gonna know what happened.
But he’s not really “taking on” Rush. Caligula is threatening people who are basically on his side already. The RINOs’ plea is to “don’t hurt me. We’ll cave. Just don’t hurt me.”
Bunch of panty-waists.
WTF does that mean?
How does he know what they listen to on the radio?
Is this supposed to intimdate GOP leaders from interviews with Rush Limbaugh?
Why is the Obama worried about Rush Limbaugh? He has an entire planet to heal now, doesn’t he?
Watch yer back Rush!
