Obama to Jessica Biel: Blame Limbaugh
World Net Daily ^ | 16 mintes ago

Posted on 05/13/2013 3:20:49 PM PDT by drewh

President Obama told donors like Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake (who was wearing hipster glasses), and Tommy Hilfiger that Washington gridlock is pretty much Rush Limbaugh’s fault on Monday evening at a fundraiser at Harvey Weinstein’s house in New York’s Greenwich Village.

Obama admitted that his theory — that after the 2012 election, the Republican “fever” would break, and they’d decide to co-sign some of his agenda — was wrong. “My thinking was when we beat them in 2012 that might break the fever, and it’s not quite broken yet,” Obama said, according to the White House pool report. This is because of a certain corpulent radio host.

“I genuinely believe there are Republicans out there who would like to work with us but they’re fearful of their base and they’re concerned about what Rush Limbaugh might say about them. And as a consequence we get the kind of gridlock that makes people cynical about government.”

And if Republicans refuse to cooperate? Well, unlike the president, they do face reelection. Obama suggested he would crush them in the midterms. "If there are folks who are more interested in winning elections than they are thinking about the next generation then I want to make sure there are consequences to that."

Obama left Weinstein's home for another DNC fundraiser at the home of Alexandra Stanton in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood, before a DCCC/DSCC event at the Waldorf Astoria, capping a busy day in which he addressed the dueling scandals about the IRS and Benghazi — and maybe even cried.

It is good Rush is in his head...the man is losing it, today’s PC in Miami shows that. BTW, he is giving our plane a work out again. I truly wish this guy on one of his campaign flights would find the side of a mountain.

I bet Rush never imagined a president would talk about him so much!

You just know that Rush is going to have a ball with this tomorrow!

Darn. And I just got four pairs of Tommy Hilfiger winter walking socks last fall. At least I got them remaindered, so I didn’t give him much in the way of profit.

And I have a pair of his winter walking shoes, for slushy weather. Very comfortable, and not in the least fashionable.

Most of the people mentioned in the article are true believers.

That said, Harvey Weinstein is one of the most powerful men in Hollywood. If he requested that someone attend his fundraiser and pony up, you better believe they’d show up with bells on, whether they supported the candidate or not.

I remember Tommy selling bongs and hippie clothes out of his head shop “People’s Place” in Elmira, New York.

I wish Rush would go back to altering Obama's voice. Its torture listening when he plays Obama speaking.

I wish he was impeached and House Republicans would charge him the cost of using govt property for political campaigning.

A true statement. Many a politician from Illinois has proven over and over again that they DO NOT have the brains that God gave a goose.
