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.
While discussing the stimulus package with top lawmakers in the White House's Roosevelt Room, President Obama shot down a critic with a simple message.
"I won," he said, according to aides who were briefed on the meeting. "I will trump you on that."

My apologies for the double post.
At least, and more if required.

This is a HUGE mistake on obi wa nobama’s part!! We are witnessing the actions and words of someone whose is coming to grips with the fact that he is in over his head and the stress is killing him.
First he lashes out at the press (who got him elected) because they tried to do their jobs (something they haven’t done for years) and asked him a question. Now we have this.
He’s also been prompting Biden on things to say and not say in front of the press.
While the entertainment value is certainly showing up much sooner than I anticipated, it remains to be seen how much worse this will get.
Reagan once gave the party a choice of either standing up for our values or create a new party. I’m real ready for a new party. If the last two elections are any example, it was the RINO’s who got dumped by the Blue Dogs who at least looked more conservative before the elections. As I recall Reagan had warned about that too. This is no time for Americans to let some illegitimate Kenyan Dictator to actually run this Nation.

Now I'm concerned....really concerned.
I’m disgusted with the “maverick” McCain especially, and all those RINOs who are little more than Democrats in very transparent disguise. If I wanted a socialist, I’d just vote for the real thing - a Democrat. RINOs are just cheap imitations. It’s the last time I vote for “the lesser of two evils”, and I think McCain did more to boost Obama’s election and to hurt Sarah Palin by throwing her to the piranhas, Katie and Charlie and SNL, than anybody. She would have gotten him elected if he hadn’t thrown it away with both hands. Keep on reaching across that aisle, John McCain, and you’ll get more broken arms. Of course, the MSM loves ya, Buddy because of your help to get this poseur elected.
His unearned and unjustified arrogance will not be up to the task - he will self destruct and reveal the shallow, racist and Marxist bastard we all know him to be...
It's just a question of time.....and not much.
Ze Fuhrer has laid down the law.
Ouch!! That hurts just READING it!! Remind me to NEVER meet you in a dark alley - you'll put some hurts on me that I will NEVER forget!!! :-)
It's a lot worse than you think. During the campaign, he was terrified of actually talking to Sean Hannity. He talked tough, but ran at the prospect of actually talking to Sean and hid behind a lot of poseur's skirts!!
We knew what he was LONG before November 4th.
“he’s going to give them a little time and if they don’t snap out of it he could lead the revolution to a new Conservative Party.”
... EGGZACTLY! . . . and that is what “O” is very afraid of. Very afraid. . . Rush is NOT afraid of him and his threats.
Some have elevated “O” to godlike status. Some . . and that is the apt description. His loyal base will turn on him when he fails to send them their freebies quickly enough, and those on his fringe support group are tenuous “O” people at best. “O” better get to work and quit wasting his angst on Rush or he might become as obsessed as “Bubba” did, to his ruin.
A new experience for him.
Did we mention that he’s arrogant?......
