(CNN) — Rush Limbaugh says he'd gladly sit down for a conversation with President Obama if the controversial talk-radio host ever scored an invite to the White House.
"Absolutely," Limbaugh, among the president's fiercest critics, told NBC when asked if he'd be willing to speak with Obama. "I'd be honest with him. The President of the United States is the President of the United States. I want this country to succeed, and if he invited me up there to chat, I would owe him up the dignity of being honest."
What, Rush is waiting for an invite to have a beer? I hope he holds his breath.
Why would BO speak to that buffoon?
Yeah! I mean, what is President Obama supposed to do? Face his critics and abandon his 4 year popularity contest! How absurd Rush is, Obama has face time requirements!

Obama is the President of the United States of America, making him the most powerful human on the planet, Rush is an entertainer, nothing more. The President should be spending his time on more pressing matters rather than raising the ratings of some blowhard entertainer.
Question for you all on the right, did you back the idea of President Bush talking to Cindy when she camped out as his ranch? Me thinks not. Guess what, I did not think he should have either.

Has he invited Jon Stewart to the White House for a chit chat yet? How about Howard Stern, for that matter?
For those of you who are desperate to put a crown on the court jester, let me remind you that the above mentioned people are Rush's contemporaries. He does not deserve a private audience with the president of the United States any more than they do.
I hate to burst your bubble, but there is nothing special about Rush Limbaugh other that his insanely bloated sense of self-importance and his ability to attract rabid followers who believe he is somehow more than another shock-jock.
Wrong, he and his listeners are Americans, meaning constituents of President Obama. Nothing more.
And we're not all waiting for the president to have us over for a beer. But Rush is because he's....well, because he is so very .... what? antagonistic?

So, explain his appearance on Letterman.
Oh, that's right...softball questions guaranteed.
