Obama: Fox, Limbaugh created 'character named Barack Obama'
The Washington Examiner ^ | December 21, 2016 | Sarah Westwood

Posted on 12/21/2016 3:16:01 PM PST by kevcol

"You understand that if people are angry that somehow the government is failing, then they are going to look to the guy who represents government. And that applies, by the way, even to some of the folks who are now Trump supporters," Obama said. "They're responding to a fictional character named Barack Obama who they see on Fox News or who they hear about through Rush Limbaugh."

Tell me when was it that outspoken Trump accused Limbaugh of being in the tank for Cruz?

I never heard Trump accuse Limbaugh of being in the tank for Cruz and that's not what I said. Here's who DID say that Limbaugh endorsed Cruz: NewsMax. Breitbart and a lot of other pretty reliable conservative news outlets reported it, too, I'm surprised you missed it.

I'll boil it down for you: Rush supported a less-conservative candidate who was soft on illegal-immigration. For that reason, Rush can no longer be trusted.

Some truth from the purple lips at last?

If I could ask Barack Obama one question, it would be

“Why can’t you pass e-Verify?”

Interesting that for eight years NOT ONE BLEEPING MEDIA PERSON ASKED HIM THAT. I wonder if he had allowed himself to be interviewed by Sean Hannity, if Hannity would have asked it. I guess Sean would have lost his job for it but it would have been amazing.

How the hell would Obama have squirmed out of that one, huh??

Lol, the composite girlfriend! Pieces of her from every girl he ever met, but he left off the most important pieces of the girls he dated: their penises.

Frankly, and for real, my heart breaks for the little Barack Obama and the reasons he had NPD. That child was abandoned by BOTH parents. Then Gramps hands him over to his commie friend as a “mentor,” just because he was black, and he gets molested the rest of his youth. The kid had a rough start.

But so do other people who still manage to be good people. Obama didn’t care.

Rush did the bidding of Chuck Schumer and Roger Ailes and called his own loyal listeners who questioned his phony two facedness (He calls him Chuck U Schumer to his audience) HATERS. Hell no, you can’t trust Rush. And he never once in 8 years mentioned Obama’s citizenship problem or that other broadcasters who mentioned it were being seriously threatened.

People always blab that Rush is so smart, smarter than Hannity. Well, Hannity got out a lot of the word on some of these subjects his bosses also told him not to mention, but he sneaked it to his listeners any way he could. I trust that Hannity is who he is on air to Schumer et al, sure he would be nice and kind to him in private, but he wouldn’t kiss his ass like Limbaugh does in private and then ream his own audience when they find out.

Just maybe the writer for Newsmax and the writer for
Breitbart are just as ignorant about Limbaugh’s history
as you. And, you and the Newsmax/Breitbart writers can’t
explain why so many Cruz fans claimed Limbaugh was in
the tank for Trump from the onset of the campaign.
Further, if Limbaugh is so anti Trump then why is he
spending so much of his program defending him now?

Now, here is a factoid you should come to grips with.
If you’re going to hate Limbaugh then hate him for
valid reasons. He sticks up for all levels of
conservatives against liberal attacks and he will
stick up for a conservative when he thinks they
have been attacked unfairly by a fellow conservative.

Limbaugh has never seen his job as picking one
candidate in the primaries and sticking with that
candidate. I don’t give a shit what Breitbart or
Newsmax says. None of those young punks has listened
as long as I have. If you let your common sense take
over for a minute you would understand that from a
business standpoint it doesn’t make sense for Rush
to piss off so much of his target audience. No
way in the world for Limbaugh to play all sides
against the middle and get away with it for over
thirty years. Tell me who is holding his feet
to the fire for all the hateful things he said
about Trump during the primary season?

Really, so Rush DIDN'T endorse Ted Cruz as THE candidate that you've gotta pick because he's the closest thing to Ronald Reagan in our lifetime? That was all a lie, that's your story? Here's the link, chief: "Ted Cruz is THE guy"

By the way, I don't give a fat crap how long you've been listening to Rush. To keep breaking that out is LAME. Don't even bother with another of your lame-assed replies, we're done and I just caught you in a major lie.

As for Rush being pro-Trump, that was only after Cruz was out. What's he going to do, go endorse the same Clinton that he's been rightfully trashing for the last 25 years? But you know all of this, you've been listening to him since his KFBK Sacramento days. The fact is, Rush lost a lot of his audience because he knowingly endorsed the more liberal candidate that is soft on illegal-immigration. He's a billionaire (or darn near) it, so he'll be fine broadcasting to livestock and living off his past profits. On the other hand, Rush's partner-in-crime Mark Levin will not survive, nor should he. He'll be gone by Labor Day.

Weak.
When Limbaugh told the listeners that if conservatism was
their thing then Cruz was their man he was only speaking
the truth as he saw it. Cruz ran as a conservative with
Reagan as his model. Whether you or I actually
believed Cruz is immaterial. Limbaugh believed him
over other candidates who made similar claims.
Limbaugh asserted that Trump was not running as a
Reagan conservative and that was also true. He did
say that Trump was actually promoting the
same conservative ideas that the GOPe anti Trump
crowd was talking about.

Limbaugh continued to defend Trump throughout the
primaries but you can't possibly know that since
you quit listening to him after you concluded
that he was merely a shill for Cruz (post #5)
which makes me wonder how you EVER discovered that
Limbaugh became pro-Trump.

BTW, did I mention that I started listening to
Limbaugh in 1985? Not only that but I handed out
campaign flyers for gubernatorial candidate
Ronald Reagan in 1966.

Catching you in a blatant lie is weak, OK. It’s all fake, all a fabrication. No problem, all you’ve done is prove that you’re one of those people who lives completely in their own head. Good god, are we done here?

You stated you QUIT listening to Limbaugh when he
showed himself to be a shill for Cruz. Then you said
Limbaugh only became pro-Trump after Cruz got out.

Who’s lying?

You said you were done here and yet here you are.

Who’s lying?

Actually, I am living rent free inside of your head.
You can’t resist responding to my post, can you?
