"President Obama is working systematically to marginalize the most powerful forces behind the Republican Party, setting loose top White House officials to undermine conservatives in the media, business and lobbying worlds.
With a series of private meetings and public taunts, the White House has targeted the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the biggest-spending pro-business lobbying group in the country; Rush Limbaugh, the country’s most-listened-to conservative commentator; and now, with a new volley of combative rhetoric in recent days, the insurance industry, Wall Street executives and Fox News"
Meanwhile Obama has soaring job approval ratings..... (-13% today)
obama might as well try to marginalize Mount Everest.
Rush IS. He WAS before obama was ever heard of and he’ll still be when obama is just a bad memory of American history.
A real “unifier” huh?
Nice dupe job on America
That strategy has the potential of making those so marginalized more powerful, especially as Obama becomes less popular.
Have you noticed, the more Obama do just that, the more Rush is more popular?
Declaring war on Rush Limbaugh, FOX News, the Chamber of Commerce, all the while screwing the military, spending trillions of dollars and trying to take over our health care.
Republicans “should” have it in the bag next year. Sadly, they’re running far too many Rhinos.
I’m in no way a conspiracy theorists, but I absolutely believe that Rush was set up to fail in the NFL fiasco. There’s no doubt in my mind it was orchestrated by Axelrod and Emmanuel.
If Obama silences his critics, then we won't be able to tell that we don't have a job, prices are going sky high, and we can't afford to buy gasoline to drive our old cars.
Sounds like Cuba to me.
The more he engages in totalitarian behavior, the more he alienates the average American. He has yet to figure out that the Chicago Way is NOT, and never will be, the American Way. Unfortunately he has surrounded himself with autocratic thugs and admirers of tyrants. The nation is turning against him.
I hope this will translate next year into Republican majorities in Congress. And THIS time, GOP, when the Donks come to you with “minority power sharing,” you remember how they acted when they got the majority and tell them to go p*** up a rope.

It’s the Chicago way!
Go ahead socialist!....DIG YOUR OWN GRAVE!
Great comments!
“Meanwhile Obama has soaring job approval ratings..... (-13% today)”
That whole thing has me confused. Rassmussen reports -13. Others fudge their numbers. People I talk to in my everyday life are either oblivious, or quite content with “the one”. If Obama truely is slipping in approval, the Obama administration is doing a great job of keeping it out of the news, and stopping the snowball effect.
At this point, the Obama/Alinsky plan seems to be working.
It seems that Obama and Osama’s favorable ratings rise and fall at the same time, doesn’t it?
