Rush is a self-hating, know-nothing scumbag. Now that that's out of the way, is there seriously somebody in this thread going to the cast doubt over whether Rahm et al didn't go over the political ramifications of the earthquake reaction with The President?
I smell fake outrage here, just sayin'.
I am very sure that in the White House there was discussion of the political possibilities of this disaster.
Now that I have said that I believe that Obama, finally, did something right.
I seriously doubt that political fall-out from the earthquake was on the radar screen at the White House this week because most people there don't think with their asses.
You are aware that the Homeland Security system that failed was put into practice by the president in 2002. And it's one more thing that Bush booted and Obama will need to fix.
You realize the the MO has been changed since Obama . Do you seriously think Obama changed nothing in the intelligence community. Obama is the president he had control over Homeland security . Obama himself said the buck stopped with him. Do you not believe the president when he sasy that
As were most other free world leaders when this disaster happened....
Who came up with the most money and the most aid? Why Obama, of course, as should have been done. Now we have libs here talking as if we should have been interfering in the business of a sovereign nation and getting them built up before this happened.
Underage sex in the DR? You seem to know an awful lot about that. Since you do I'm sure you can fill us in on all the details of what Rush did, complete with photos.
Illegal possession of Viagra? Surely that can't be a problem for those arguing for the legalization of mary jane?
Poked fun of MJ Fox? As I recall he was showing how MJ was politicizing his illness.
I've got a Rush 24/7 membership and get the newsletter as well.
It's interesting to me the people on here that denounce Rush for politicizing issues and then do the same thing themselves AND pile on the personal attacks since they have nothing of substance to add. Nor can most even quote properly. ROFL!! Right out Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals and no I don't fall for that nonsense.
How gullible are you to not understand that he makes an exorbitant amount of money for carrying water for the bigwigs? Why do you think that he makes the kind of salary that he does? Don't be so naive.
As for Viagra and the Dominican Republic trip, lets' get real. We are not in a courtroom Perry Mason. My 13 year old nephew could figure that one out.
Your defense and admiration of Rush is perfectly understandable as I can see that you relate to his cruelty and self-serving nature and lack of scruples. If you agree and condone making fun of and mimicking a person that is afflicted with Parkinsons Disease because they choose to expose themselves and speak out for and on behalf of others that might benefit from stem cell research, you are indeed every bit as screwed up as Limbore only you don't get paid to be so. Tsk, tsk.

It matters not that Obama will make mistakes, not that this was one of them, but being human, you and he will err. That's life.
Who got hurt on the plane? The undie bomber. A poor sap who couldn't light a match. Real hunk of a terrorist.
Your police department can't stop the killings in the city or town you live in, and they are RIGHT THERE, armed and ready. Why don't you hope and pray for their failure while you're at it.
Well, I drifted off-topic there.......but I can safely assert that between 2000 and 2008, I never heard the words "the buck stops with me" uttered once.
And, as an added bonus, I never once saw the curtains move at the WH during about the last 6 months of the last administration. There was not a peep about anything, whatsoever, during the waning days of a failed term.
Add to that, because the terrorist attempt was a failure, Obama shouldn't have made a comment until he had facts to address. There's no need to gather any more facts on Haiti than that the country was devastated by an earthquake.
Especially when 0bama was afraid he would be held accountable for a systemic failure that allowed the attempted terror attack. Calling an entire police department stupid or rushing to the aid of Haitians was easy and presents no political risk, taking responsibility is tough and has a lot of political risk.
