Obama: Quit Listening to Rush Limbaugh if You Want to Get Things Done

[djones520]

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.

The little dictator that could?

I don't remember Bush ever saying, "People need to stop listening to Err America."

But then again, he didn't have to.

Again we see bipartisanship was only a crypto-speak for bullying conservatives to compromise and damning them even when they do while not budging an inch on the latest liberal politically fashionable psuedo-crisis.

Yes, Obama appears to be every bit the Constitution-hating fascist many of us suspected and tried to warn others about.

It appears this so-called constitutional-law expert apparently became one just so he could overturn it and attempt to deprive Americans of their rights.

He's scared of free speech, abhors the First Amendment and trembles at the power of Rush Limbaugh as well as Sean Hannity and Fox News. That's why he supports the so-called-but-misnamed Fairness Doctrine to silence them all.

Last September, he said this: "The one thing that I want to insist on is that, as I travel around the country, the American people are a decent people. Now they get confused sometimes. You know, they listen to the wrong talk radio shows or watch the wrong TV networks, um, but they’re, they’re basically decent, they’re basically sound."

Michael Barone put it this way last October, when he called Obama and his free-speech-haters "the thugocracy": "Obama supporters who found the campuses congenial and Obama himself, who has chosen to live all his adult life in university communities, seem to find it entirely natural to suppress speech that they don't like and seem utterly oblivious to claims that this violates the letter and spirit of the First Amendment. In this campaign, we have seen the coming of the Obama thugocracy, suppressing free speech, and we may see its flourishing in the four or eight years ahead."

Recall, too, his silence-free-speech campaign's filing of a 64-page complaint with the Federal Election Commission in the spring of 2008. He tried to prevent Edgar Bronfman and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees from spending $700,000 on television commercials to be aired at Indiana for HIllary Clinton.

Then there was his late-September assault on the NRA "Hunter" ad in various states. Obama sent cease-and-deist orders to news outlets in at least two states, denouncing the ads and demanding their removal from the airwaves.

Let him keep it up.Time's coming when he and the Democrats, liberals and leftists will find their bullying and fascistic behavior will be rejected by Americans.

That is, unless Obama doesn't make all illegal aliens citizens, and restore full voting rights to felons and increases the handouts to those who don't pay taxes but receive handouts.

If that percentage of the potential voters hits 51 percent, those who are not Democrats, liberals and leftists may never be in power again in the federal government.

BTW: IMO, after Obama's assault on conservative talk radio and TV goes for awhile, he'll turn his sights to the blogosphere.

The General Secretary of the Politburo has spoken. You best heed his warnings.

And his snivelling minions will tell us how Mr Awesome Orator is being misconstrued.

[LadyLiberty]

He has absolutely no class, and he sounds like the hotshot kid who says these things just to show off for his friends 

The presidency is reserved for men of great caliber, not the frat boy mentality....I think I am being too kind...he's more like Biff from Back To The Future.

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

His cultists still believe:



Found this over at Slate (hopefully this shows up).

[bijou]

While this is indication of some scary stuff to come, I can't help feeling that you'd have to be very brave or very stupid to pick a fight with Rush Limbaugh.

Really.

That whole episode with the letter from Hairy Ream apparently taught him nothing.

[Carl]

In other words agree with me and shut up.

You owe Biff an apology for that slander.

God forbid we should listen to a dissenting opinion.

Obama is an arrogant ass.

[USA4ME]

Another incident that confirms he doesn't like for others to disagree with him, and when they do it gets under his skin.  Putin and other world leaders are going to walk all over him.

Well he spent his entire campaign calling out Sean Hannity...guess he'll spend the next four years going after Rush.

And both will let him while they take the money they make and the increased listenership he gives them all the way to the bank.

With the way he's feeding all of this red meat to the Libtards in just three days I have just one question now.


What's his DU name?

Damn. I guess you can call that "a historic first", huh TRG? lol


Many politicians have gone after Rush. The Clintons, Harry Body Odor Reid, etc. Nobody has silenced RUsh yet, and his listenership keeps growing.

This is just another example of how extremely thin skinned the PeeResident is right now, or an example of how fascist he is wanting to dissent opposing opinion.

True.  And it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he had an account.

But the way he said it...and I may be way off base...came across to me as him telling the Republicans to abandon their beliefs and follow his lead (way)...as if he's the only one who should be listened to.

Well, as wishy washy the GOP has been the last few years, I think I have a right to shudder here then.

I did when I wrote it and do everything I stop to think about it.

We need one Conservative with some calcium in their spine that won't wilt at the first false accusation of racism, sexism etc.

Jim DeMint or S.C........opposite of Shamnesty Rino Graham of S.C.

[DixieBelle]

PLEASE pick on Rush!! Please, please, please!!!

[TheSarge]

Jim DeMint or S.C........opposite of Shamnesty Rino Graham of S.C.

Agreed.  But they've got to be convinced to step into the fray.

One of the things the MSM and the DNC have finally succeeded in doing is perfectly synchronizing their efforts into a deadly attack machine that has the deck highly stacked in their favor.
