Obama blames Rush for the gridlock in Congress (sm)


Posted: May 14, 2013

If this wer true, don't you think he would be embarrassed to admit that Rush has so much power?  (Obviously more than he does).  This is hysterical.  Rush issued an invitation to sit down with him (since he is so all-powerful) and discuss the country's problems with him.  LOL - it could be kind of like a beer summit - This is getting funnier by the day.  I doubt you will want a link, but I'll post one anyway.

I agree with the President, metaphorically. - Ashes

I believe there is a lot of hyper-partisanship, and people (both Democrat and Republican) are pressured to back their parties, even if they don't really agree.

Rush of course isn't the main problem, but he's very symbolic of the problem.

Not true. Rush doesn't have that much power. (sm) - LM

Besides, I feel that many Democrats are jumping off Obama's bandwagon now that his "way of doing business" is being exposed.

Of course he doesn't have that much power. - But he's symbolic of the problem

[ In Reply To ..]
That was my point. That's why I used "metaphorically."
Oh. Obama is afraid of a symbol. - I get it now.

it's interesting how fear finds its way into so many conservative posts. It's a shame, really.
no...Obama is aware that weak-minded republicans are - AFRAID OF RUSH

you could always just read the article and interpret it for yourself.

Why would Obama sit down ****** - *******

[ In Reply To ..]
That would only lend legitimacy to the Bloated One. Absolutely silly. Rush the Viagra addict is only trying to stay in the limelight now that he is going down the tubes. Scoring a sit-down with the Pres would boost his ratings, presumably.

You don't get it? I'll explain. (sm) - Abby

Rush was being facetious, as he is wont to do. He knows he doesn't have that much power - it's the President who blames him - says he is the reason he can't get things done. I mean, come on! It's because he doesn't know how to be a leader, and he punishes those who oppose him. He's a fraud. Oh, and if you're counting on Rush going down the tubes, well, I wouldn't hold my breath. Of course, if you want to......Don't let me stop you.

I don't follow Rush. He makes me throw - up in my mouth a

Rush is good at speaking without a teleprompter. - Weird, huh? LOL!! nm

Obama being treated in this manner. I mean, being asked real questions about his scandalous Presidency, instead of just the questions about what has enchanted him most about being President. That could really gag a person. LOL

I hope he sticks around on at least some level. He was such a help to us - Democrats last election

[ In Reply To ..]
We welcome him to lead all the foolish Republican candidates into advocating for a right-wing agenda that only appears to a very small fringe of voters.

I'd love to see him fail on a personal level, but I have no problem with him helping the dems out again next election cycle.
appears should be appeals. OP correcting - own post

Still a lot of Dittoheads here despite The - Bloated One's ratings

[ In Reply To ..]
Good for them for standing by their, ehr... man. I actually heard his ratings are going down bc his audience is dying off. Something about it being comprised largely of men "far North of 50."

that's an interesting interpretation - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
Obama was speaking of "hyper-partisanship" and remarked that there are Republicans who are "fearful of their base and they’re concerned about what Rush Limbaugh might say about them" (which is most certainly the case).

So, yeah. He used the words "Rush Limbaugh" in a sentence, but beyond that, your conflated interpretation is off the mark. Fortunately, others can read the story for themselves.
