Axelrod rebuffs Limbaugh for criticism By Tony Romm - 11/01/09 12:12 PM ET

White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod on Sunday fired back at conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who said earlier this morning the president was "a child" with an "out-of-this-world ego" that does not suit his "a five-minute career."

"Well, I think it's a surreal day when you're getting lectures on humility from Rush Limbaugh," Axelrod told CBS' "Face the Nation."

"The fact is that he is an entertainer. The president has to run the country," the adviser added. "He's the commander-in-chief. He has huge responsibilities. I think he does them thoughtfully. He does them well. And they're difficult problems. We walked into a difficult situation. I think he's handling it very, very well. And most people believe that. We'll let Mr. Limbaugh foment, but I think the American people are well-served and believe they're well-served."

Well I guess he’s as entitled to his opinion as you are, Axelgrease.

The President has acted childishly at every step of the way: demanding that legislation be passed ‘now’, demanding that his opponents have no voice, and just go sit in the corner, demanding the dismantlement of capitalism that has made our country great with individualism and the entrepeneurial spirit. Mr. Limbaugh is on point. Mr Obama - GO TO YOUR ROOM!

So while the White House is talking about all their responsibilities, they’re shirking them with a war on Limbaugh and Fox News?

If nothing else this White House has cornered the projection techniques like no other.

They always go crazy whenever Limbaugh gets to the truth of a matter and they have to recreate truth as fast as possible.

They can’t ‘not’ respond. That is the quality of this administration. Rush could yank their chains from now till doomsday if he wanted.

Why are they responding if Rush is just an entertainer?

Why do they not ignore this stuff? To react to it and to react to it so quickly is just dumb.

The difference between Rush and Axis Rod is, Rush tells the truth.

"We walked into a difficult situation."

They knew what they were getting into and have made it considerably worse. The Obama presidency will eventually be universally recognized as the skid mark on Uncle Sam's skivvies.

"He's the commander-in-chief. He has huge responsibilities"

Like giving time and attention to critics? Sounds like a narcissitic priority to me.
