He did make the exact same claims as Bush. So did Hillary, Al Gore, John Kerry and other Democrats.

They are desperately trying to knock the foundation of change and they will destroy any one or anything that is in their way.
Get over yourself Limbaugh...... America is far greater than you want it to be.
Americans want America to once again be for the brave not just for the rich.
Yeah, we sure got "change." Obama is spending even more than Bush was! Great "change" there.

America is "for the rich?"

When Someone destroys your house, you then have to spend a lot of money to repair and rebuild it.
Bush destroyed the "House" and Obama is now having to spend a lot of money to repair and rebuild it.

Rush handled his addiction like a typical junkie, and sought help when he hit bottom (went deaf). It may surprise you to know that probably at least half the addicts in this country are functioning, productive citizens most of the time, not street scum or homeless.

It is highly unusual for someone to become addicted from one course of a prescription drug. Rush went doctor shopping and paid his housekeeper to score for him, so let's not try to sugar coat his procurement. He bought drugs under the table just like any other junkie, all the time calling publicly for long prison sentences for drug users. He was also caught with illegal viagra. You'd think a man with enough money to stay clear of the food stamp office could see a doctor when he needed a prescription or was in pain.

I am not familiar with Clapton's problem, but I thought that Keith Moon died from twenty-five or so shots of vodka and illegal drugs were not involved.

Food stamps?
I doubt they are available to you if you make 30+ million a year.
Did he spend his entire income on drugs?

I'm trying to understand how Rush not going on food stamps is impressive in any way.

Or did his entire battle with addiction happen before he was wealthy?

People are already getting bored with Limbaugh and company's hatred for all things Obama.
In reality, the number of Rush's radio listeners has increased around 25-35% this year. It happened after the Democrats made a political commercial where they indicated that Rush was the Republican Party's leader, and also when Obama made some comments about Rush. The donations for fighting cancer increased by 30% from last year, and indication that more people are listening to him this year.
