I thought it was beneath the office of the President for Obama to get involved in this. Tasteless even.

For the White House to even acknowledge Limbaugh gives him power.

This is not the first time Obama has done something that seemed more fitting of a guidance counselor and less fitting of a sitting US President.

Just saying...please stop doing that Mr President, you are the leader of the free world and have more important things to do than to dedicate time worrying about this nonsense.

We'll see if it turns out that he's back using (and breaking the law). I suspect that with all this new attention, people are going to be watching for any signs that he's back on the dope, and if he is, just how many prescriptions he "legally" has (wouldn't more than one of the same 'script be illegal?).

Maybe he is, maybe he isn't. I've never said that I know for a fact that he is.
You do agree, though, that it never would have happened if he didn't have severe back pain (and an unsuccessful back surgery)?

If Rush ever runs for president, then feel free to bring up his past drug use (just like Obama's past drug use has been mentioned). Obama broke the law (by using an illegal drug) yet was never charged or punished.

BTW, I thought liberals say it's "okay" to use drugs? You know, the old, "what a person does in his own home is his business."

Yes, maybe he is, maybe he isn't, but you are hinting that he is (again, with nothing to back it up).

guess you missed the threads on some simple facts:

tp / conservative states receive the majority of social welfare benefits (and do not confuse this with the spurious debate about where all tax dollars flow, this is simply social welfare dollars - SSA, medicaid, unemployment, etc, etc)

i don't know whether to laugh or cry

Limbaugh has been powerful before Obama ran for President.

Limbaugh is the GOP

Gotta love liberals...in a pathetic sort of way.

While we all agree he was wrong in this instance, to see you all frothing out the mouth, desperately hoping and actually thinking you can defeat him is just priceless and quite amusing. You are NOT going to win this battle with Rush. Sorry He will get new advertisers, some who wont cater to pressure of a bunch of losers sitting at their computers sending 'faux outrage' email over and over.

And how funny to see so many bash Rush as "hateful, etc etc" while calling him every name in the book. Nothing but fake outrage from liberals who say nothing when one of their own says the most vile things you could imagine.

Whatever floats your hypocritical boats I guess. Have fun while it lasts because Rush is here and will be here. And whenever his time is up, Im sure someone else will come along and fill his shoes to take on the liberal monster machine in this country.

Obama and the democrats instigated the whole manufactured story with their lies about people wanting to ban contraception, with their unprecedented attack on the church.

You do realize that these companies are Commie Islamic terrorist sympathizers who have been plotting with Obama to destroy the good name of that all American patriot Rush Limbaugh.
