Prez Zings Gop Foe In A $timulating Talk

Exactly, they won't address that Obama is taking shots at a private citizen less than a week in office, rather they try to rehash the same Bush bashing.
True, true.
Their defense is an offense.

From the initial post:
Quote:
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.

It was a major league dumb move to single out Limbaugh. It illustrates he has no intention of listening to the right. And Limbaugh, as well as the remainder of talk radio (the left doesn't have a viable audience so they don't count as being in the market ) is going to run with this to push the point home that Obama isn't about uniting, and Change means socialism, and Hope is delivered via government handing you goodies stolen from hard working tax payers.

You're the one who asked for what made Bush suck:

I responded to that remark so how about you stop the bull**** high and mighty act?

If someone defends Obama the Republicans in this thread automatically claim that the person speaking for Obama has "drank the kool-aid" and you do that for every single Obama supporter. It's become the standard attack line for you guys and you use it instead of discussing what Obama did that is so wrong? You all then post the same bull**** "this is the tip of the iceberg" "Obama's made a fatal mistake attacking Limbaugh" yada yada.

The truth as I see it is that you're all so desperate to find something, anything to make yourselves feel better that you write the stuff that we've seen in this thread.

Comparing how Obama starts versus how Bush did is not apples and apples since so many millions of us felt that Bush did not legitimately win the 2000 election causing an immediate disrespect and ill regard for Bush.

For you all to then say in this thread how "Bush was treated the same way at first" is as inaccurate a statement as is the belief that Rush Limbaugh has any effect on the American public other than the radical right wing who already support Limbaugh and would never vote for any Democrat or Obama.
 
Wow. It's actually a little bit sad watching all of you act like this because you lost an election. Grow up. He made an innocent comment in the meeting to get the point across that just being flat against something that we are going to do is not helpful. They need to work with the group to get something that works and that they are more comfortable with or shut the hell up. If they don't help out then they can't bitch when something gets passed that is far left of what they would have gotten otherwise.

Predictable responses:
"I was for <enter name here> not McCain" translation: Bull****, I just wanted to feel special so I picked an alternative party to support. I knew we were going to loose and bitching makes me feel better.

Here's a response that looks nothing like your predicted one:
Obama has more to worry about than Rush Limbaugh. Why is he focused on talk show personalities, and not the economy, the war, etc? The Pres is very thin skinned, he's in for a rough term.
 
You're the one who asked for what made Bush suck:
I wanted analysis, not yet more reposting of any article you can dig up to repeat your message for the umpteen hundreth time.

I responded to that remark so how about you stop the bull**** high and mighty act?
No, you dug up articles, anyone can do that. Without analysis all you are doing is attacking.

If someone defends Obama the Republicans in this thread automatically claim that the person speaking for Obama has "drank the kool-aid" and you do that for every single Obama supporter.
But you aren't defending Obama, you are attacking those asking valid questions about him, you are attacking a political party you don't like, as well as it's members, and even someone who has nothing to do with this thread(GWB) if you want to talk about the issue and defend it that is fine, you are not doing that.
It's become the standard attack line for you guys and you use it instead of discussing what Obama did that is so wrong?
I've already said what's wrong with it, he's whining about people listening to conservative viewpoints, Limbaugh specifically, that doesn't defacto violate the first amendment, but it might as well, and it's in bad taste.
You all then post the same bull**** "this is the tip of the iceberg" "Obama's made a fatal mistake attacking Limbaugh" yada yada.
First, I didn't say that, second, it is a stupid mistake to screw with Rush, he has a large audience full of people on both sides of the political isle, and he could make Obama's life a little more hellish if he wants to.
The truth as I see it is that you're all so desperate to find something, anything to make yourselves feel better that you write the stuff that we've seen in this thread.
Oh please:roll:, Obama's got more dirty laundry than a dry cleaner. I stay out of the little stuff, but every time he makes a mistake I will call it, just like I call it for Republicans.

Comparing how Obama starts versus how Bush did is not apples and apples since so many millions of us felt that Bush did not legitimately win the 2000 election causing an immediate disrespect and ill regard for Bush.
I don't care, and it doesn't matter what you "feel" Bush won the election legally, so get over it. Next point, your side went on an all out offensive against GWB from day one, so you will get every bit of it back, don't like it, tough, you sowed it, you reap it.
 
Are all of you really under the impression that Rush has real power? How cute.

Apparently your dear leader is under that impression. And nervous about it, too. How cute. :stooges
 
Sore winners happened with Bush too. They are on both sides of the fence. This year, though, we do hear about sore winner Democrats, that's for sure.

Look what happened when the Republican party got arrogant. Democrats are not learning that lesson, so they will fall too, hopefully by 2012.
Still kicking Bush around, eh Dana? The real liberal you is starting to peak out. Can't find nothing to kick Obama about, awwww.
