PRESIDENT OBAMA TAKES ON RUSH LIMBAUGH IN NEW MEDIA WAR

WASHINGTON -- President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.

One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.

"There are big things that unify Republicans and Democrats," the official said. "We shouldn't let partisan politics derail what are very important things that need to get done."

That wasn't Obama's only jab at Republicans today.

O'bambi doesn't want to go there... what a moron.

If he wants to get into a p***ing match with Rush, he's waaay over this head.

Rush is going to eat this up... Plus O'Bambi just boost Rush's Monday's listenership a few million.

Hey, O'Bambi, just ask Dingy Harry what happens when you get into a p***ing match with Rush..

He is Carter II four days in...a micro-managing, petty grudge-carrier showing his Chicago political ward-heeler roots.

This is the sort of stuff that will never get printed on a Sunday or Monday morning.

Friday night headline...ha. It will be over in the morning, for most, but it appears that the gauntlet has been thrown. Lets see what happens.

Did Obama name the big things that unify us?

Foreign abortions? Closing Gitmo? Favoring Hamas? Trillion dollar deficits? Money for Barney Franks to spread around Boston?

“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,”.......

Four days in office and Obama is already spooked by the ‘vast right wing’ talk show hosts......

EIB’s rating share is going to skyrocket with all this good Presidential endorsement.

If the President of the United States is afraid of Rush Limbaugh, then what of the idiot in Iran? Or Putin?

That’s exactly what I was going to say! I’ve been so worried that Rush would also wimp out and drink the Kool-Aid and start telling us we all just had to be nice to that dangerous fool in the WH. But Bambi still recognizes Rush as his enemy - which is a good thing.
