The young woman who was called a "slut" by Rush Limbaugh got a call Friday from President Obama who voiced support for her pro-birth control advocacy.
"He encouraged me and supported me and thanked me for speaking out about the concerns of American women," Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke said on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports." She got the call from Obama while in a green room waiting to appear on the show.
"What was really personal for me was that he said to tell my parents that they should be proud and that meant a lot because Rush Limbaugh questioned whether or not my family would be proud of me," Fluke said. "So I just appreciated that very much."
Soon after she appeared on TV, Fluke also thanked Obama on her Twitter account. "Thank you @BARACKOBAMA for your call and words of support. It means so much to me and millions of women! #WeWillNotBeSilenced," she wrote.

I’m sure I’ll face much the same pile-on here as you have, but I agree. It wasn’t appropriate language for a public radio broadcast.
I don’t think Rush is an idiot, though. I think he made his statements as a calculated effort to stir the pot and get people talking. I like his show, and agree with much of what he has to say. But I also know Limbaugh is first and foremost an entertainer, and there’s no such thing as bad press.
I will now await the inevitable tsunami of flame posts coming my way. :-)

Whats the Resident Omullah doing, asking her to give his favorite lesbian Hilly a try?
Look, the dollar is in shreds, European banking in the ditch, gas is $5 for your car, pipelines are banned, Syria is slaughtering a town full of civilians, Mexicans are shooting their way across the border with drugs the US government paid for and with guns the US government paid for, having declared a drug war on the american people in solidarity with the mexican dictatorship, there is record unemployment in the US not seen since the great depression, more than half the population is on the dole, Iran is going nuclear and Israel is retaliating,
AND ALL THE KENYAN CAN DO IS CALL SOME SPOILED BRAT WHO WANTS GOVERNMENT TO PAY FOR HER BIRTH CONTROL PILLS?
Where is that clause in the Constitution. She is worse than a slut, Rush was being kind. She is a treasonous marxist nationalist traitor and so is her telephone buddy Burkha Obowma. I am getting sick of this crap.
Rant off.

I have a "nurturing" Theory about Rush's "slut" remarks ...
First, of course, he's correct ... any Woman in any office, bar, church, etc ... who said that she needs $ 3,000 annually to supoort her (unmarried) sexual addiction ...
is accurately called a "slut" ...
However ... there's a chance that Rush deliberately brought the "gasoline AND the matches" and escalated this to a Nuclear DefCon-1 level ...
WHY ?
Perhaps to take the National attention from the Super Tuesday primaries ... Newt's possible strategic gains ... Santorum's lost status ... and Romney's embarrassment ...
After all ... Super Tuesday is already "page six" news for the next week ...
"Just a theory ... that happens to fit the facts ..."

Little Reported BACKGROUND: Who Is Sandra Flukes?
With a degree in Sexuality Studies, what kind of work do you think she was doing in West Hollywood after she graduated?

She wants the taxpayers to pay over $3000/year for her sexual addictions. How many of you spend that much on food? I don't.

Hey Sandra, instead of the government, shouldn't your BOYFRIEND be buying your birth control?

We would much rather be praised for error,
than to be corrected by rebuke.

“True, the President of the U.S. calls a girl who was insulted by a radio talkshow host. Screw Iran and Israel, this is big stuff!”
Well it is more times than he called the president of Iraq before he pulled the rug out from under him... so yes, it must be a higher priority with Obama than having a meaningful foreign policy.

"You LIED to me Barack! You told me you were going to watch Sportscenter!"
Yeah, Im married, the man says into the phone. Does it matter?
Youd do that for me? he asks. Really? Yeah, Id like that.
Suddenly, a woman comes into the room and snaps, Who are you talking to?
When the man replies State Farm, she is highly skeptical.
