It makes no difference. If he is such an illegitimate person then he could easily offer a rebuttal with facts.
I will agree though that Rush is boorish and kind of annoying.
That's not the point. The point is that Obama doesn't
need to do this. Nothing will be accomplished. No problem in our nation will be fixed. In fact, it will detract from his job of running this country. We have enough partisan divisiveness as it is, this is pointless.
Obama himself has said that this recession is nothing we have seen since the depression.
It doesn't matter if we have done this before. I want accountability since I am marginalized at the ballot box by ignorant fools.
A debate with Rush Limbaugh would not give you any level of accountability. And your opinion of your fellow American voters is duly noted. It sucks to feel marginalized, but that's what happens to the losing team.
Bush sucked ass. In fact the last 100 plus years of presidents have sucked ass.
It doesn't make it ok.
I never said it made anything okay. It's the reality. There is no precedent for this kind of nonsense. Again, this debate would accomplish absolutely nothing.
So if he can't defend his policies, why is he even in office?
Well, he's in office because the American people put him there. The majority had enough faith in his abilities to elect him. And you don't know he can't defend them.
Democrats had an absolute right to demand an explanation.
And they did.
He was elected by some people to do the job.
Point taken.
He also has limits to his job which he readily ignores.
That's your opinion.
It's not pointless. If he can't use facts to defend his idea's and policies then why should anyone support him any longer?
It absolutely is pointless. He should be judged on his job performance, not his ability to exchange barbs with a hyper partisan wind bag. The people don't have to support him after he's elected for any reason. But the fact is, he's already elected. If he mucks this up, he will lose support. That's how it works.
Why should we even allow him to continue being president if he is unqualified?
Maybe you should go ahead and start a petition for impeachment or something. I don't know what to tell you. This struggle belongs to you and those who share your opinion.
The election debates are documented farces. That is not a debate in any real way.
Well, that's where the Presidential debating is done. I understand you are frustrated. I just can't get behind your belief that this is even remotely productive to any measurable degree.
Anyone can question the president. Rush has a significant amount of supporters that back him.
I agree. Our nation has questioned every President since the beginning. Rush's fan base is irrelevant on this issue because there is no Constitutional right that guarantees anyone an hour to directly debate the President of the United States.
He deserves to be answered in some substantial way.
Sure, and each and every one of us deserve to have the President explain himself to us until we are satisfied. But reality predicates that this is simply not going to happen no matter how badly we think it should.
