Regarding mullato POTUS taking on anybody.( Even his ideological soulmates) journalists aren't allowed to ask questions not pre-approved by handlers. I will say it again, in due time the dumb-ass POTUS is going to be a complete joke.
Limbaugh may have gone a bridge too far with this. The RNC can't be happy. A guy with so much shit in his game, drugs and such, had better be careful who he pisses off. The powers that be can make things happen. The guy is damn sure in love with the sound of his own voice.
I don't know, Cap. The current occupant of the Oval Office is an acknowledged drug user whose school records have not been made public, etc. So it's not as if Limbaugh is up against Mother Teresa! Rush will always have his following. He is making a gambit to spread that influence to independents, whose support numbers for da Messiah have been falling. If Obama fails long-term, Limbaugh will succeed. If Obama somehow manages to turn the economy around, Limbaugh will still have his loyal followers.
You don't think that the "powers that be" have tried their hardest? I'll bet way more Americans know about Rush's drug problems than Obama's. How about the Fairness bills? The federal government is trying to pass laws that would put Limbaugh out of business. Look at the current smear job trying to portray Limbaugh as the leader of the GOP. That's hysterical, if Rush led the GOP, McCain would be out of a job. Or out of the party at least. Yet the interesting thing is, Limbaugh rakes in a cool million a week just for his radio show. Who knows what he gets for his website, newsletter and whatever else. If anybody in America can moon "the powers that be" while singing "Can't touch this" that'd be Rush Limbaugh.
What is so brilliant about promoting rush to republican spokesperson 3 plus years before an election? He is just about the only person on the right or left with a message. For that matter - I would say Obama is getting swamped right now. Even CNN has guests on anderson cooper wondering how the hell he is spending all this money without a plan. Obama is a fool for taking on the one person capable of organizing the fiscal responsibility movement. Republicans are reeling, true conservatives have been covered with the label of Bush's spending. There was not a single credible elected Republican on the issue of spending. So what do the idiots do, they elevate the one person they should have allowed to stay irrelevant. Biggest political mistake since McCain supported the bailout. Obama is making amateur mistakes every day. He needs to regroup before he screws up even more. Sending personal letters to the Russian leader? Currently Obama is dangerous.
