Title: Limbaugh: "I think Obama wants me to fail"
Post by: 240 is Back on January 26, 2009, 11:05:34 AM
According to Limbaugh, Obama “basically told them stop listening to me. That’s not how things get done in Washington. We can’t let Rush Limbaugh stall the stimulus plan.”

Limbaugh, heard locally on WRKO-AM (680), said today that Obama’s more frightened of him than Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) and House Minority leader John Boehner (R-Ohio).

“He’s obviously more frightened of me than he is Mitch McConnell. He’s more frightened of me, then he is of say, John Boehner, which doesn’t say much about our party,” Limbaugh said.

Limbaugh today planned to unveil his own bipartisan plan to “resolve the fight over the stimulus package.”

“I think Obama wants me to fail,” Limbaugh said. “President Obama, by telling you and the elected Republicans in Washington to not listen to me because I am not how things get done in Washington, he has said that he wants me to fail.”

Wait... so now telling someone not to listen to someone else's negative talk is all of a sudden being "In their head"?

I tell people not to listen to Rush all the time, because he's a buffoon... Trust me when I say he's not in my head.

There's a lot of stretching going on there... Obama is effectively saying cut the party bickering... Only Rush thinks Obama really gives a shit about him... Well, Rush and Beach.

The most powerful man in the world is talking about a radio talk show host.  A little disturbing.  The words "Rush Limbaugh" should never come out of the man's mouth.  

Not a huge deal, but I did have serious concerns about Obama's judgment during the campaign.  Stuff like this doesn't help instill confidence.  Next he'll be talking about Sean Hannity.

Ugh... This is about ridiculous Beach... All of a sudden, talking about someone who talked about THEM FIRST is a problem?

HAHA... So you tell me to fuck off, then I'm the problem for telling people that Beach told me to fuck off... HAHAHA.

Yeah.  It's a (small) problem.  If someone is a flea, as Rush should be to Obama, you don't even mention them.  I'm sure his (good) advisors are telling him the same thing.

Olberman is nothing like Limbaugh and he's already starting to go after the Obama administration on wiretaps, investigating crimes of the Bush Administration etc....  No doubt Olberman is in the progressive camp but Rush is just a piece of shit.   What American goes on TV and proudly proclaims that he's wants the new President to fail, especially in our current situation with 2 wars, and the economy in meltdown

ha olbeirman is in the same category as limbaugh bro both are partisan as the day is long man. Obviously you didnt read or listen to limbaughs rant and 240's spin job has worked on you...go listen and read what he said and what he meant and then come back.

Can you list the quote where Olbermann said "I want bush to fail"?

No, you do not.

But there is a quote from Limbaugh where he wishes Obama to fail.  Big difference.

I draw my own conclusions (as I'm sure you do).  I don't think Olberman is anything like Limbaugh....not even close.  

I've read what Limbaugh said and his reasoning behind it and it's complete horseshit.

It's more of the same old, tired scare tactic about how the Dems are all socialists (or even Communists).

Olberman is just like Limbaugh...or at least equally as bad.  Its just that far less people listen to him.  His critical sarcastic partisan way is just like Rush.  If you can't see that, then you are blinded by your own partisanship.

to each his own...

I can understand the second comment b/c he worded it in such a way that would attract the attention that he is recieving. I however have said basically the same thing in different words on here many times "I hope he is a great president, I hope he doesnt get half the shit that he wants accomplished but i hope he is a great president" is basically saying i hope he doesnt get a lot of liberal shit done, which if you read limbaughs full transcript instead of 240's spin job is what he meant.

On the 3rd comment im gonna give you one of these  ::) not b/c i disagree with you b/c i dont but olbeirman does the same thing with reps and assumes they are all paranoid, gun toting, bible clutching, neocons.

He doesn't watch it.  That's the difference.  When people shit on him but don't watch him, it's pointless arguig with them.

I enjoy watching hannity as much as I enjoy watching olbermann.  Of course, I have been avoiding both for the last few weeks.

If the moveon.org example wasn't enough...

Tonight olbermann pointed out the fact that both Cheney and mcCain had called out OLBERMANN by name repeatedly.

Wow... looks like the nation's top repubs have been dignifying wackjob liberal groups and left-wing talk show hosts for quite some time.  Obama's just following their lead!

Obama is picking the wrong fight with Limbaugh because Rush has 22 million listeners a week and is skilled at these things.  ZERO is dead wrong on a lot of the issues he has been pushing lately in his first week and does not want those things in the spotlight.

I dont watch any of those shows because the level of content is very low.

I watch CNBC, History Channel Discovery, Spike (UFC) and the YES Network when the Yankees are playing. 

Almost everything else stinks.

Oh I forgot, I watch the Spanish channels when they have the hotties in bikinis.

During a time of war, Bush let a one-page ad from some nutjob liberal group take center stage, and the forefront of his mind.

He legitimized them.  he put them on the map for the world.  He gave them FAR FAR FAR more press by attacking them, than their 1-page ad would have generated.
