NEW YORK (AP) — Stepping into an emerging culture clash over women, President Barack Obama made a supportive phone call Friday to a law student who testified before Congress about the need for birth control coverage, only to be called a "slut" by Rush Limbaugh.
For Obama, it was an emphatic plunge into the latest flare-up on social issues. Democratic officeholders and liberal advocacy have accused Republicans of waging a "war on women" because of GOP stances on contraception and abortion rights, and Limbaugh's tirade on his radio talk show was seen as an escalation.
In addition to her call from the president, the third-year Georgetown University law student, Sandra Fluke, was backed by members of Congress, women's groups, and the administration and faculty at her Roman Catholic university.
Demands for Limbaugh's sponsors to pull their ads from his show rocketed through cyberspace, and at least four companies, Quicken Loans, LegalZoom online legal document service, and bedding retailers Sleep Train and Sleep Number, bowed to the pressure.
Obama considers Limbaugh's remarks "reprehensible," according to White House spokesman Jay Carney. He said the president called Fluke to "express his disappointment that she has been the subject of inappropriate personal attacks" and to thank her for speaking out on an issue of public policy.
"The fact that our political discourse has become debased in many ways is bad enough," Carney said. "It is worse when it's directed at a private citizen who was simply expressing her views."
Obama reached Fluke by phone as she was waiting to go on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports."
"He's really a very a kind man," Fluke later told The Associated Press.

Rush has more than doubled down. He’s been on this for two days and has me laughing out loud. He has hit a nerve.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yes Rush is following Winston Churchills recipe for battling fascism: Truth, Publication and Ridicule.
It defeats the fascists everytime it is used.
Not only is Rush doubling down, he is showing America how to attack Liberal fascists, and win.
This has Obama double downed in a dither.Rush has Obama right where he wants him.
It proves also that Obama watches Rush very closely, and Rush bothers the hell out of him. I like it.
Obama is a sexist, racist hypocrite.
Did he condemn himself for calling the Tea Party a homosexual slur?
It proves also that Obama watches Rush very closely, and Rush bothers the hell out of him. I like it.

Me, too. I remember how GWB used to call Rush on the phone occasionally. I would love for obama to give him a call. Fat chance...I know, but a girl can dream, can’t she?
The supposed “ leader of the free world” calls this Dem slut shill to give her consolation because her feelings were hurt by Rush Limbaugh.
How pathetic of a President do we have?
If this alone doesn’t prove to people what an insufferable moron he is and is unfit to lead, nothing will convince his sycophants.
I mean come on, 0bama, man did you get played. Totally played. Rush Limbaugh got you, THE LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD, SUPPOSEDLY THE MOST POWERFUL MAN ON EARTH, to call some pathetic ass slut to give her comfort because her feelings were hurt by Rush Limbaugh.
0bama, you are so effin pathetic.
The only good thing about this is that Obama’s wasting his time here. The Affirmative Action clown in the White House (Yeah, I said it) is using his time to make call to console someone rightly maligned for not being able to afford birth control, but able to afford Georgetown Law. That means the affirmative action clown is not spending that time screwing up this country worse than he’s already doing.
I mean, we are relying on this pansy of a President to maneuver our nation through diplomacy with the Iranians that hate us and want to kill us?
You’ve got to be kidding me!
He can’t even deal with Rush Limbaugh.
Limbaugh so played this guy it’s not even funny. The President of The United States is responding to some tart that had her feelings hurt by a TALK SHOW HOST.
HOW PATHETIC IS THAT !!!!!
The Iranian leadership has got to be thinking, Yes, 4 more years of this inept pansy. If Rush Limbaugh can totally play this President....
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK OUR ENEMIES ARE DOING AND THINKING.
God, please I pray help our nation get this idiot out of office.
...so if the “poor little girl” is smart enough to get to Georgetown Law, how can she be so stupid as to not be able to read a thermometer and use graph paper (or just keep her freakin’ knees together)?
I think this could be a “Limbaugh, you magnificent bastard!” moment, in the long run...
>> This one, however, is political platinum for the dark side,
This is a ratings gift for Rush, and a pathetic gesture by the occupant of the Presidency.
>> Seems to me that we conservatives who have been listening to Rush for over 20 years are most likely segment to use those particular products.
Yup.

Speak wisely wish your cash, folks. And don’t forget to drop a line to the companies advancing the cause of taxpayer funded copulation.
This from the President that has literally given the finger to more thanone opponent. Does anyone remember the times Obama did this?
Obama runs the best little whore house in Washington DC.
the scum sides with the slut
I have started a buycott of Two if by Tea, because that is one sponsor who won’t pull away from his show for sure :)
Maybe someone should check into whether she actually is a lesbian. She certainly looks like one. They think a little lipstick covers that up but often you can tell by looking at someone. If she is found to be a lesbian she is found to be an abject liar. Even those who might be sympathetic towards her likely will change if it is found out that she was just plain lying.
Read “In the Garden of Beasts. Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin”. The things we are seeing in America today have many parallels to Germany in the 1930s, right along with a widespread denial in the people to the terrible atrocities happening right in their faces. The thing which is different for us is good communication..for the moment..However, because of the state owned media, the truth is hard to glean from the propaganda..If our domestic news enemies can just get rid of FOX, Rush and talk radio, in general, they think they can establish the dictatorship they have pursued for a long time.
YES!
