I'm calling BS in your post.

Rush is influential because he speaks for more Americans than Barack Obama does. If one man -any man- can frustrate Obama so much that he can't explain why he can't advance his agenda without blaming it on that man by name then Obama is no leader.
I have heard him hang up when the caller wouldn't ****, but the caller has to be out of line for that to happen. Any moderator, be it radio or TV, would do the same.

Rush once told an African American caller to take that bone out of her nose and call him back.

Painting this absolute scumbag as the unofficial head of the GOP is pure genius on Obama's part. Bring on those elections.

Maybe Obama is whining , maybe not, but that doesn't make it any less true.

Limbaugh is the most influential person in the GOP, more influential than Romney, Palin, Rubio, Paul, or any other person.

Right!

Did you actually hear that or is it just another urban legend? You don't happen to have a YouTube, do you? Never fear. I do have a YouTube:

Actually, I agree with you. But Limbaugh wouldn't hold as much influence if wasn't speaking for so many.

Boy, this isn't forced. Not at all.

The bone comment has been well-documented. It was made back in 1990 when Rush went by the name of Jeff Christie.

Well, rush started in 1988...as his own talk show...so, please provide some proof....if you are talking about prior to 1988 and this is well documented....then it should be extremely easy for you to provide proof....

Rush Limbaugh is so powerful he by himself forces the Republican party to do his bidding. Obama's charisma and hands on approach to government can't overcome the power of this radio host.


In terms of DC power: Rush > Obama

Rush Limbaugh's peak of influence was during the Clinton years. He is pretty much irrelevant today. The conservative talk radio hosts with the most influence are Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin.
