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:

Is that the same as Harry Reid calling President Bush a “Loser”?
President Obama: GOP Opposition to Stimulus ‘Helped to Create the Tea-Baggers’
May 04, 2010 9:07 AM
In Jonathan Alter’s “The Promise: President Obama, Year One,” President Obama is quoted in an November 30, 2009, interview saying that the unanimous vote of House Republicans vote against the stimulus bills “set the tenor for the whole year ... That helped to create the tea-baggers and empowered that whole wing of the Republican Party to where it now controls the agenda for the Republicans.”
I would have preferred something even more fitting than jackass.
Right on Rush. Keep up the good work.
Love it!
More like 1/2 a$$.
If I worked for the Always Been communist folk hearing Barry called a jack would be offensive— I quit watching the boobtube when I outgrew the fantasy of threes company.
My thoughts exactly.
Olbermann Accuses ‘Fascist’ Bush of Engaging in ‘Terrorism’
February 15, 2008
On Thursday’s Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann delivered his latest “Special Comment” rant against President Bush, this time attacking him for threatening to veto an extension of the Protect America Act unless it includes provisions to give immunity from lawsuits to telecom companies who have cooperated with government surveillance in the past. Calling the President a “liar” who was “slinging crap” and using “a form of terrorism against his own people” to gain support, Olbermann accused President Bush of fascism: “If you believe in the seamless mutuality of government and big business, come out and say it! There is a dictionary definition, one word that describes that toxic blend. You’re a fascist! Get them to print you a T-shirt with fascist on it! What else is this but fascism?”
So?
At least he didn’t threaten to strangle anyone like Biden did
I love Rush. Tellin’ it like it is!
Obama should sue ... for definition of character.
Could we refer to this as "Portnoy's Complaint?"
If I remember right, a lady called in and said virtually the same thing. I got a good laugh out it.
Because if he does, I guarantee Rush knows how to set the hook!
Nice catch! You have an elephant’s memory.
But when 0bama called someone a “jackass”, that debased the office of the President.
Isn’t that the point of ABC’s article?
So I'd think Hussein being called a "jackass" by a radio host is appropro.
ABC is a bunch of Clymers.
