WASHINGTON -- President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.

1. Should be a no-brainer....

Personally, I can't listen to OxyContin Boi and get anything done, either... those dry heaves really suck the life outta me.

[BlooInBloo]

2. Based on such deceptive and false jackass reporting, enter stage left, 99 fools....

complaining about Obama trying to stifle patriotic dissent.

:rofl:

[yellowcanine]

3. Obama lays down a marker. "If you listen to the RW crazies you will get left behind."

The man is a genius.

6. exactly, dump yr addiction to oxy-con boy's hate-radio

[zehnkatzen]

4. You know what he'll say next ...

"When it came to the Presidential election, the media were desirous that a Black man would do well."

You know he wants to say it. You know he wants to.

Go get 'em, Obama. Me and millions of other Americans have got your back.

5. Stupid (and false) headline.

Obama isn't wasting his time with that jackass -- nor should he. The point he was trying to make is that Republicans are going nowhere if all they can do is to repeat the talking points of their rabid base.

"Taking on" Limbaugh is beneath Obama, and he's doing no such thing.

8. It's the POST. Consider the source. nt

[Bleacher Creature]

16. Good point (and crazy avatar!)

[whistle]

7. Are republicans going to nominate Rush as their next presidential candidate

...they will need to place him in a 36 month detox and recovery program and when Rush becomes clean he may no longer be conservative. As long as his mind remains drugged up he'll spout anything they want to hear. But sober, the guy may discover his true soul and spiritual purpose in life...redistributing all of his wealth to the poor and destitute

14. He's too much of a coward to run for office

his sweat- and drug-laden studio and call screeners protect him from truth, honesty, reality, and real americans. If he ever ran for office he would shrivel up and die or go into a drug-induced apoplexia.

[whistle]

15. Correct, Rush is almost at that point now and it could happen anytime live and on the air

[NJmaverick]

9. Obama is slick. What he actually did was tie Republicans that oppose him

with the radical drug addled nut job.

[UnrepentantUnitarian]

12. Turn-about is indeed fair play sometimes, isn't it?

The Right Wing talkers and their Neocon politician counterparts have for years been trying to equate Democrats with "loony, wacko, unAmerican, ultra-partisanship." It's sheer genius to be NOT ONLY showing these right-wingers a mirror-image of their own tactics, but also giving them a choice of being either part of the problem or part of the solution. Love it!

13. Limpballs is a devout coward. He won't even do an un-rehearsed interview,

much less a debate. I don't know if this will work.

[8 track mind]

17. I think it would be a grand experiment if

President Obama calls Limpballs right out of the blue on his radio show. It would be nice to see if he actully took the call. Think about it; Rush is in full out trash the president mode and THE President calls up to defend himself. That would be awesome and i bet he would wet himself!!! But dont stop there, do the same thing to Hannity, Oreily, Savage, Ingram, and Beck. Make 'em SQUIRM!!!!
