During President Obama's wide-ranging interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo Friday, the president responded to a question about the "lack of action in Washington" with the claim that when it comes to shutting down the government to kill ObamaCare, his "Republican friends" tell him "privately" that they agree with him but are afraid of Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Party:
Nobody thinks [a shutdown's] good for the middle class. So the question is ultimately, if you are putting the American people first, if you are prioritizing them, then this shouldn't be that difficult. And I've made this argument to my Republican friends privately, and, by the way, sometimes they say to me privately, "I agree with you, but I'm worried about a primary from, you know, somebody in the Tea Party back in my district," or, "I'm worried about what Rush Limbaugh is going to say about me on the radio. And so you got to understand, I'm -- it's really difficult."
Just ten days ago, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said something remarkably similar during a "Morning Joe" discussion about same sex marriage -- that since 2006, "Republican leaders have said one thing in green rooms, another thing on TV and another thing on talk radio.”

WHAT Republicans “friends” does he have....John McCAin??
GOOD!!!
Translation: McCain Linda and Rubio are afraid of the Tea Party.
If those Republicans are McCain and Lindsay Graham, I think I actually believe him.
He pulls this crud all of the time - associating opinions that make him look good to anonymous sources that of course, can’t be verified.
It’s the flip side to his “some who say” strawman rhetorical trick.
Then they are not really republicans.
A huge bowl of donkey doo.
I believe it. And they ought to be afraid to have a confidence type relationship with BO
Don’t know why people doubt this.
Boehner out on the golf course with this man, telling what he and his buddies really want re amnesty
Yes, they’re frightened of conservatives.
They’re too stupid to be frightened of BO (it’s not like he is their friend) and threats to the Constitution
You kids have made a mess with your "transforming the country" BS, now get your butts busy and transform it back to being America again!
Some unsolicited advice?
Clean off and polish that part about "In God we trust" first and the rest will go much more smoothly.
name names Obama. I DO want to target those RINO’s for primary.
Divide and conquer. He is so obvious. This POS IS the most “transparent” prez ever. Why half the people in the country don’t see this amazes me.
I don't believe one damn thing Hussein says, but oddly, this does sound very much like something one Juan McLame said about a month ago - if you could still consider him a republican!
islamist liar and murderer
Oh please. Why doesn’t he just get off the road, off vacation, off the softball interviews, off the lies and just get to work. He is so full of crap it’s oozing out of his big ears.
Using the typical liberal, a liar that you can always reverse what they say to get the truth, this means Democrats are saying Obama is a problem.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.... John 8:44
