Obama should go visit Limbaugh while he's in the hospital.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall for that conversation.

1. Limbaugh would be reduced to a sputtering idiot
Edited on Sat Jan-02-10 10:54 AM by Maccagirl
in Obama's presence. He has a very small comfort zone you know.

11. Are you kidding? Everything I've seen in the last year tells me Obama would find some way
to placate, accommodate, and otherwise cave in to whatever Rush says. He'd probably have Obama make a pizza and OxyContin run in the Presidential limousine.

2. this statement has been made several times, and, while I understand the thinking-- going to visit
that clueless, hate-mongering piece of filth will only serve to legitimize him in the eyes of his adoring dittoheads. and, you can bet that it will be spun as obama being a supplicant to this human garbage.

7. It would be portrayed by his racist fans as
the ultimate "step and fetch" by Obama to the great "master," Limbaugh. Think, people think, before suggesting such... Do we really think the RW would ever be respectful of such outreach? Time to forget it, I'm afraid.

5. You've got to be kidding... (not to mention he's back at his hotel)
I'm inclined to agree with those who think this was either 1. all a hoax meant to give him a forum to try to undermine HCR. or 2. Drug related (seeking or withdrawal) effects giving him a scare, at which time he exploited the HCR angle to "save face."

Either way, he, like Cheney will be around long past his "expiration date," so we'll have to accept the rotten smell.

6. Both being in Hawaii that would show class as well as putting Rush between a rock and a hard place.
Edited on Sat Jan-02-10 10:59 AM by elocs
It would be kind of funny and I wonder how the MSM would spin it.

On edit: for Obama to have done it.

9. Ahem... this is how it would be portrayed...


DENVER (AP) -- A Colorado state employee could be disciplined for sending an e-mail showing President Barack Obama shining the shoes of former Republican vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.

The 73-year-old Colorado Department of Transportation worker forwarded the e-mail to at least four co-workers and others on Dec. 22 using her state e-mail account. One of the recipients outside the agency complained.

The original sender of the e-mail, who isn't a state employee, wrote "It appears he (Obama) has found his niche."

CDOT spokeswoman Mindy Crane says the worker could face discipline ranging from a written reprimand to suspension. Employment rules require that she meet with personnel officials first and have a chance to respond in writing. That meeting is scheduled for next week.

10. Brilliant idea; it would also Sister Soulja-ize some of the fringe left as well.
Obama could gain distance from the people here and on blogs who get their jollies from his medical condition.

15. Wow..
I have to admit not understanding your post, but it strikes me as highly offensive, nonetheless? :shrug: Perhaps you could explain to little ole "slow" me?

17. People have been on here saying they hope Rush dies and are laughing that he was in the hospital.
Obama, of course, has to distance himself from that. He could use a get-well encounter as a Sister Souljah moment:

12. Imagine this:
Obama walks Rush down to med records (yeah, Rush in hospital gown with fat ass hanging out) and has the clerk look up his mom's medical record of his birth. There you go, Rush and Orly. (I think Rush was in the same hospital Obama was born in.)

14. NO... not the same hospital
Obama was born in the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women & Children, Hawaii.
Rush was hospitalized in Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu.

This has been misreported by one very lousy reporter and keeps getting reiterated, but NOT True that it was the same hospital.
