Did Rush Limbaugh praise President Barack Obama for Osama Bin Laden being caught and killed? Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

1. I watched a video of Rush's remarks somewhere yesterday - Rush is being sarcastic throughout. n/t

7. It doesn't matter...

A clip of this will still make a great OBAMA 2012 election commercial. The fact that Limbaugh is being sarcastic, and having to fight the urge to hurl up all 25 of those minced-CROW-meat pies he had for lunch while he's saying this makes it even better.

2. There is no fucking WAY

that this drug-strained media jester is gonna have a "come to Jesus" moment. He's so full of himself (shit), that any sorta redemption is well outta reach. He's as sick as Beck. Living from SS check to SS check, I take a bit of solace in the fact that I never have had a fortune come my way. I like the me I am too much to chance what I might become with alot of money.

4. No, I think that he did

It was short lived and he went back to his "Bush deserves credit for this" logic after this, but believe it or not he was actually giving Obama credit for a short amount of time. Trust me, I was listening to his show live and I had to call one of my Republican friends because I could not believe my ears.

3. The lying racist elitist republican pigman Limbaugh!

[FarLeftFist]

5. It's a setup.

He's trying to pin the whole thing on Obama so if we have another terrorist attack he could fully blame Obama.

[TrollBuster9090]

8. That doesn't matter either

If there's another terrorist attack (and there probably will be, let's not kid ourselves) they'd blame it on him regardless.

If there was another attack and he hadn't gotten bin Laden, they'd say the attack was due to his weakness. If there's another attack after he DID get bin Laden they'll say it was retaliation for getting bin Laden. Given the choice between those two, the second is much better.

If you're going to be damned if you do and damned if you don't, you may as well DO.

6. SAVE THIS FOR THE 2012 ELECTION COMMERCIALS

Along with all the other right-wing nutcases congratulating Obama on a national security job well done.

Maybe entitle this commercial "DITTOHEADS FOR OBAMA."

9. Well, he IS doped up, y'know.

Take another pill, Rushbo!

10. Limbaugh used his fake praise as a way of giving Bush credit.

I heard him doing this live, and know when Rush is being sarcastic. But, that is just fine. It will be fun to hear him in upcoming political advertisements praising Obama. I think it's funny how Limbaugh wants to make certain Obama shares credit with Bush when it comes to getting Bin Laden; however, he wants Obama to take all the credit for our bad economy, as if Bush did nothing.

11. I thought he 'punked' Obama and others turned it around on him.

It's an ugly game...

Today, he played up how the military and security operations, "put into place by Bush," deserve but aren't getting enough credit.

Total jerk, as always.

12. I think he was punking the media

He knew his "ovepraise" of Obama would get picked up like a $50 bill...and it did. He threw in the lie that keeping Gitmo open was what led to the intel needed to capture OBL. He's laughing at how easy it is for what he says to be the national center of attention and loving it. Just more Rush theatre. He's done it before
