Limbaugh Calls President Obama a 'Jackass'

October 05, 2010 3:03 PM

Portnoy ABC News’ Steven Portnoy reports:

Derision of the president on his program is nothing new, but Rush Limbaugh’s tone today may have struck the ears of regular listeners as particularly disdainful, taking his contempt of the president to a new level.

The nation’s preeminent conservative talk radio host referred to Mr. Obama as a “jackass,” an “economic illiterate” and an “idiot, where capitalism is concerned.”

The rough stuff came during a monologue on the president’s position on extending the Bush tax cuts to all but the top two percent of wage earners.

Obama, Limbaugh says, is an "economic ignoramus" for not understanding how a "tax increase" on the wealthy won't stimulate growth.

Quoting an AP article from yesterday, Limbaugh pointed out Obama’s remarks at a meeting of his Economic Recovery Advisory Board that the wealthy would “take our ball and go home” if their tax cuts aren’t extended.

Limbaugh then addressed the following line to the president directly:

Rush doen’t say stuf without thinking a couple of chess moves deep. I’m sure Rush thinks Obama’s thin skinned rsponse will be unhinged.

Plus, Barry called Kanye West a “jackass”, and it was before an (ABC?) interview. “Come on guys. Cut the President some slack.”

What a jackass.

Goes perfectly with Mondale calling TOTUS,..."Obama's idiotbox"

BWAHAHAHAHAHA...*snort, snort*...BWAHAHAHAHA!

[Carling]

You posted it before me, but the most telling part of that candid moment was immediately afterward, when he asked the TV people to “cut the President some slack.” I guarantee you he thought they would destroy that tape for his magnificence.

I don’t see what the problem is.

It’s not Rush’s fault that Obama is a Jackass.

Rush is just speaking truth to power!

A JACKASS IS A JACKASS.
