Obama tells GOP: Don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh.
Obama tells GOP: Don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh.
Today, President Obama met with congressional leaders from both parties to discuss his economic recovery and reinvestment program, though Republicans did not appear to be interested in compromise. According to the New York Post, Obama told the GOP members at the meeting that they have to stop listening to Rush Limbaugh if they wanted to accomplish anything:
“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.
One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts.
When Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) complained about the spending plan, Obama shot back, “I won,” adding, “I will trump you on that.”

While you SHOULD be an expert on stupid, what with living your life as, well, YOU. I am afraid that your abject and self evident stupidity makes it LAUGHABLE that you think your weak and ignorant self ought to be talking about whether what Obama did was stupid. YOU being stupid personified means no one here is going to be taking YOUR advice about how OUR side should act.
January 24th, 2009 at 12:26 amDamn!
I like Obama more every day!
January 24th, 2009 at 12:28 amTP, you should put up a more current picture of Limpy — his face looks like a frickin’ honeydew melon!
January 24th, 2009 at 12:33 amNo, idiot rednecks like you made Limbaugh’s next 4 years, just like you made his last dozen years. President Obama is just admonishing Republican Congressmen to stop acting like idiot rednecks.
January 24th, 2009 at 12:36 amDamn! Add matador to Obama’s resume.
This should get the Badyear blimp seeing red instead of black from now on.

Whinney, when a woman says that she “would like to have X’s baby,” she generally means it as a COMPLIMENT to the man in question. Of course, this would be difficult for you to comprehend, as I doubt that ANY woman would want to spawn something with such a venomous mysogynist as you seem to be.
January 24th, 2009 at 1:05 amtelestai2, I’m impressed by your ability to decipher the psychology behind troll comments. You make perfect sense. Of course windsor knothead would assume that a woman who wanted to have a baby was saying it out of spite; that’s the only way women ever talk to the troll.

January 24th, 2009 at 1:10 amHow long have we waited for someone in the dem party to just say this simple thing?? years and years and years and years… no dem politician would just stand up straight and say limbaugh is a filthy liar – don’t listen to him. NO ONE! Limbaugh needed to be smacked down hard every day in every way, but no one would..

January 24th, 2009 at 1:13 amralph & telestai2, yer sweeties!
January 24th, 2009 at 1:15 amI’ll make a wager that within the next year that Limbaugh will totally lose in on the air with a rant so disgusting and borderline insane that he’ll be suspended from the air for a significant amount of time.
Some will say he’s already disgusting and insane, and he is. The rant that gets him suspended will have all of us looking at each other in disbelief.
Just my 12 1/2 cents…

January 24th, 2009 at 1:31 amCantor was told he would be McCain’s VP choice and then he would be the candidate for President in 2012. It didn’t happen. Now it’s made because he not only didn’t get the nod but he’s up for re election and not looking to good back home. It seems the rich people of Cantor district admire the young black President. Cantor had problems with his wife’s involvment in the banking shady deals and kick back money. I know Cantor felt like the lowest of the low when a bimbo like Sarah was picked. With all the wealthy support of his friends he couldn’t buy the White House like Bush did. Cantor was Israel’s hope for the Oval Office as the money would keep flowing to Israel by way of President Cantor, that plan failed too.

You’re such a hypocrite calling President Obama the “Messiah.” Calling him that only shows your fear of him.

You can usually see it right before and right after he nails a truly inspiring speech, he looks like a boxer right before/after winning a fight. Like, you can see the pheremones coming through the TV screen.

You are a liar and a fool as usual. We do NOT know that 67 returned to the battlefield that is misinformation. Your figure includes 43 that the Pentagon SUSPECT of returning to the battlefield. Even so we have let go what 250? so that means at BEST less than a quarter of those the incompetent BUSH let go have gone TO the battlfield. WE dont know about return. Put me in a prison camp for six years I might get a little testy too. WE get that you dont care beans about our Nations values. The rest of us do and since you LOST THE ELECTION it isnt the call of cowards a morons like you any more.
On to your brainwashed supply side economics idiocy. Hey we tried it for the last 8 years and have the worst financial crisis since the Great depression but to idiots like you that means LETS TRY IT AGAIN? So Obama WON THE ELECTION by saying he was going to try EXACTLY this economic route. YOU want to whine that he shouldnt? You are an idiot RupturedRetard. A brainwashed fool who doesnt even KNOW what you think until your Limborg master TELLS you to think it. No one is going to take your nonsense seriously. You are a dodo bird circling Darwins drain.

January 24th, 2009 at 1:38 amDaryll, I seem to recall you chastizing us “libe” because we didn’t show the proper respect due our president a few months ago.
Am I wrong about that?
If it was the case that your position was that we showed disrespect to the president, then why is it okay for you to show such disrespect to the president today?
Surely you don’t believe in a double standard, do you, Daryll?

Congratulations on posting in a non-buttsecks thread, RaptureReady. This is so chock full of gooey deliciousness, I’ve got to spew another post just to counteract your every other word…
RaptureReady Says:
How arrogant of you Mr. President. We already know your political status, but people believe that you should sincerely think before making critical decisions. For example, Guantanamo, how can you close the base within a year, when you do not have a plan to to incarcerate/prosecute these terrorists.
It’s called setting achievable goals, instead of refusing to have “timetables” limiting what’s expected of you.
.
67 have already returned to the battlefield.
Citation, please? It’s my understanding that in the majority of those cases, “returned to the battlefield” included those who spoke to the press about their experience or wrote an op-ed. Did you know that and lie to us, or were you actually unaware of that fact? I’m actually really curious.
.
Why should government make our children and their children pay. Don’t you care about inflation, as well?
Inflation and deficits are two different things. It would be nice if the deficit hadn’t been already run up so much by Bush, but it’s necessary now.
.
Mr. President, Government is not the solution. Remove capital gains taxes for the private sector, so jobs can be created.
Reducing taxes that are primarily paid for by the rich is what’s been tried for the last eight years. Obviously, that hasn’t worked. In fact, it’s made things much worse The solution is not more of the same.
.
Bolster our manufacturing base. The reason why we continue to lose money is because of the loss of our manufacturing base. Realistically, most products are not made in America. We import everything. We must close the financial gap through selling American made products to Americans, and exporting these products to other nations.
You may be surprised to hear this, but Obama is already in complete agreement with you on this point.
.
How about re-instituting tariffs, too.
You mean fair trade instead of free trade? Great idea!
.
Before approving this bailout, we must find out what happened to the initial bailout to decide what is left, who does not need it and who needs to return our hard earned money
“A President should be able to do more than one thing at the same time.”
I agree that the initial bailout should be reevaluated and invoices issued to the unworthy. But that doesn’t mean putting a hold of the stimulus package, which by the way isn’t a bailout.
.
We must eliminate illegal immigration, to ensure that our states do not waste money on services for non-Americans. They broke our sovereign laws.
When I see an average American-born citizen work as hard as the average illegal immigrant, then I may believe that they constitute a drain on our economy. But from all the evidence I’ve seen, they provide a massive surplus of economic benefit, overall.
In short: pick me 3 acres of lettuce in a day, and then we’ll talk.
.
Socialism will not save us. History has proven this. LISTEN!
Partisan catchphrases won’t save us either. THINK!

The former Bush Administration is still liable, only the telecoms were granted immunity. Obama voted to institute a LEGAL program rather than an illegal one.
BTW, how many terrorists did Bush catch with this program–0, that’s how many. This is exactly what Nixon went down for.

What happened to you? Were you scorned by a lover? Did fate deal you a savage blow? It’s not too late to turn back to God, Daryll. God still loves you. But he’s not going to do everything. You have to meet Him halfway.
So do it, Daryll. Ask for God to forgive your blasphemies and your false witness. Ask for God to forgive your weakness and your vanity. He’ll do it, Daryll. I guarantee He’ll do it. You just have to ask Him.

RR,
If you are such a devout follower of Jesus Christ, then why do you pejoratively refer to President Obama as “The Messiah”? Are you belittling the term? Or being blasphemous?
I don’t know too many liberal posters who call Obama “The Messaiah”. I have seen a lot of conservative hate-mongers call him that.

January 24th, 2009 at 2:15 amDaryll, I have a question for you. I’m puzzled by your recent about-face with regard to the Office of the President.
Just last month, in response to a TPer criticizing president Bush, you had this to say:
Now this evening you say something as disrespectful as:

So what gives, Daryll?
Is it okay to criticize the President if he’s a Democrat, but treasonous if he’s a Republican?

Let’s see if he responds.
January 24th, 2009 at 2:18 amRaptureReady Says:
Well it doesnt look good to me but where was your outrage when the VP overrode the IG to give Halliburton a no bid contract. When Bush flat out lied so many times I was shocked to find out his name really was George? You are attacking Obama for jaywalking and stood by Bush while he was comitting high crime like LYING to take us to war. You have no credibility here. Your idolotry for Bush was sickening and the hypocrisy of HIS administration was MUCH bigger. He LIED so much it was pathetic.

Says you and your ilk. Again, how can you ascribe somethign so right-wing conceived to “most of [us]“? As I recall, it was right-wing media people (like Fox News Channel, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Michele malkin) who started claiming that we on the lreft were calling Obama the “New Messiah”. Or if one person said it, you claimed we all thought it.
So I ask you again: “Just how seriously are we supposed to accept that you truly believe your faith?” You didn’t answer that one.

January 24th, 2009 at 2:25 amTalk about arrogant!
But Daryll, we know why you think you can call our President “The Messiah”, even if your assumptions are shallow, inaccurate and informed more by your own repressed psychology than by any observation of the world around you.
But what you fail to address are Wayne’s other, more pertinent questions, namely:
don’t you think Jesus would be upset with you (for calling the President “The Messiah”)?
and
Just how seriously are we supposed to accept that you truly believe your faith?
I think you’ll agree that these are serious questions.
I just pray that you’ll see the Light and Repent of your evil right-wing ways before Judgment Day.

January 24th, 2009 at 2:26 amCherrypicking and MANIPULATINGintelligence is considered lying…more here…and here…
But since Bush did it, and since he is a Man of God, then was it God’s will to have him lie the country to war?
January 24th, 2009 at 2:27 amProof that VP Cheney influenced the IG to give Haliburton a no bid contract, por favor. Also, once again, President Bush did not lie to Americans about Iraq. That is a liberal myth. He made his decision based on intelligence gathered by Mr. Tenet’s agency. At that time, there was a rumor around that Sadaam was a severe threat. YES WE CAN!
WRONG! Bush did lie. Bush was relying on information that other intelligence agencies around the world described at aa “useless” And he knew it was useless because our own intelligence people said so. Only an ignorant fool believes that invasion of Iraq was either legal or justified. That, RR, is a fact.
January 24th, 2009 at 2:28 amRaptureReady babbles incoherently:
At that time, there was a rumor around the world that Sadaam was a severe threat.
But that was not what we were told back then. Iraq was not invaded based on a rumor.
Bush repeated, time and again, that there was no doubt Iraq possessed WMD and that Hussein had ties to terrorist groups who would use said WMD. Both claims were shown to be untrue.
Please try to keep up.

January 24th, 2009 at 2:29 amHi, RR. I’ve got your answers right here.
RaptureReady Says:
By the way, MR. PRESIDENT, you stated that you were against lobbyist, and you created an executive order on this issue. Why are appointing William Lynn, who is a high level Raytheon principal and lobbyist to the DOD. Is this “DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO” action right?
Yes. It’s perfectly fair of him to make a Cabinet appointment, and then issue an order to the people who work for him restricting who they can hire. Rules he imposes on his subordinates don’t have to apply to him. He is the POTUS, after all.
The “lobbyist problem” has much more to do with lobbyists entrenched at all government levels. He can allow one vetted and conciously selected ex-lobbyist if he wants to, but he probably shouldn’t pass off that decision.
Also, bipartisanship has nothing to do with it.
Obama is purposely allowing a total of one ex-lobbyist in the entire executive branch. Please do tell me how a Republican is in any standing to complain about that.
.
RaptureReady Says:
Didn’t the Messiah vote to allow illegal wire tapping?
Why do you people keep calling him that? Isn’t that blasphemy? Yes, I disagree with him over the FISA vote. I don’t see how you are in a position to criticize him over that, though.
.
RaptureReady Says:
I will try this again. DID THE MESSIAH SUPPORT WIRETAPPING IN FRONT OF THE SENATE? YES OR NO?
Actually, no. The new FISA bill doesn’t actually “support wiretapping.” It’s a little more complicated than that. Go read it.

Since when is having a plan important? You spent most of the last 8 years carrying water for a president without a plan and without a clue on most of the issues. Why does that bother you now?
And no cases have been suspended, since none were initiated. People are being held at Guantanamo without a trial whatsoever.

January 24th, 2009 at 2:32 amDaryll, will you ever address your blatant double standard regarding the Office of the Presidency?
We can get to your blasphemy and your bearing of false witness later. Let’s start with the small stuff.
Why did former President Bush get the benefit of every doubt with you, and President Obama gets none?
Why did you insist that anyone who criticized then-President Bush was unAmerican or even a traitor, yet you feel it’s okay to describe President Obama in the most derogatory way you can?
January 24th, 2009 at 2:32 amSo, he made a simple incorrect statement. So what!!! At least he didn’t personally contradict one of his EO’s within the first 100 days. YES WE CAN!

Yeah Bush lied you ignoramus. He lied when on Sept 7 2002 he said When the inspectors were in Iraq when they were finally denied access an IAEA report came out saying Iraq was six months from a (nuclear) weapon, I dont know what more evidence you need
No such report. Bush pulled it directly out of his ass. The IAEA SAID SO. Bush tried to backpedal by claiming it was a different report the IISS report except THAT report didnt come out until two days AFTER he made the statement the one that began I WOULD REMIND YOU. He is A LIAR. He LIED when he sent 12 reports to Congress about the aluminum tubes being ONLY for gas centrifuges when he had a one YEAR OLD STUDY by OUR gas centrifuge scientists completely and unanimously refuting this claim. He also sent Condalizzard Rice out to the talkshows to say the anodyzed coating proved they were for gas centrifuges except IT WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE REMOVED TO USE THEM FOR GCs. HE is a liar and you are a moron. You NEVER know what you are talking about and really dont know ANYTHING that Rush didnt TELL you to know.

Quick advice, RR: Don’t let your dog sleep with you. You might give it fleas.
January 24th, 2009 at 2:59 amYou know, after reading through RaptureReady’s posts (yes it was difficult to wade through that muck) I have come to the conclusion he is not religious at all and does not believe in Jesus. He does not understand scripture, has no clue of the teachings of Jesus and is constantly contradicting the tenets of Christianity. Which leads me to ask why he posts here? Is he feeling guilty about not believing in Jesus and so uses an alter ego here to try to assuage his guilt? Is he lonely and this is his only way to get attention? Is he bored and just killing time? What ever it is, I hope he seeks help. He sure needs professional help!
January 24th, 2009 at 3:24 amI know it’s fun to taunt the Raptard but, I’ve seen the truly vile company he hangs with at RR: celebrating the death of children, calling for the assassination of “liberals”, blindly worshiping the scum who have all but destroyed all that was once great about our nation, and things too sickening to even repeat here.
Is it not time to deny his privilege to screech his filth? Please, I beg you, get rid of the loathsome freak. He’s far past being an amusement. All he deserves from us is to be a nonentity. A noxious wind that blows, silently, in the wilderness of his twisted fantasy world.

January 24th, 2009 at 6:24 amWell, didn’t we all have fun last night, badmintoning Daryll around the thread. But apparently no one gave the import of Obama, criticizing Limbaugh specifically, by name, much thought. As a radio-head, you can’t buy this kind of promotion. Of course Hannity would love this kind of PR, but he’s not allowed off the Fox farm, so he’ll never say the truly outlandish stuff necessary to get a presidential raspberry. He’ll hint, and suggest, but Rush will bellow it out, between dispeptic belches. Obama shot himself in the foot by mentioning Limbaugh. Now anything Limbaugh says about Obama will be made as a statement of political equals, in his listeners’ ears. And in the ears of the freekin’ MSM, fer godsakes. They’ll be parroting anything Rush says, now that Obama has given them license.
January 24th, 2009 at 7:04 amI think some have missed the point totally. The President told ERIC CANTOR, a reichwingnut congressman, to quit parroting Rush Limpballs. That was the jest of the comment. Mr. Cantor is a wingnut and needed to be told to quit listening to Lush and get down to business.

January 24th, 2009 at 8:47 amObama is brilliant. He’s at 70% or more approval and this bloated, sex tourist junkie Limbaugh is wishing him and America ill.
Obama may just be pushing this corpulent pill popper over the edge.

January 24th, 2009 at 9:04 amI recommend Obama’s advice not just to Republicans only.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:21 amRush Lardbaugh is a walking, talking rectum & nothing but a 300lb tub of shit stuffed into a 100lb sack.
Enuf said, Give E’m hell Pres. Obama, the troops will be with you.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:31 amObama sensed that Rep. Cantor has a connected Limbaugh device installed in his brain that feeds his moving tongue.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:39 amFor all of those folks who act like one of those dolls from the 60’s…you know, the ones where you pull their string and they spout a nice little canned phrase, sit back and take notes.
Not only has President Obama done more in 3 days to clean up or put on hold until he has a better idea of how to clean up, not only has he taken very serious steps to begin outlining how he intends to get things done, he has done so with courage and style. Yeah, lots of style.
For the wingmutts who see graciousness and thoughtfulness as weakness, take up juggling chainsaws instead. I think it would be safer than underestimating this President.
January 24th, 2009 at 9:39 amObama could lessen the affect of people like Rush tub-o s**t and his mini-me Sean Mannity..

There are people that listen to Rush Limbaugh? I suppose next you will tell me that there are people that give a shit about what that idiot mumbler with that stupid cowboy hat has to say…
January 24th, 2009 at 9:55 ami guess this means rush baggyballs won’t be seeing another surprise birthday party in the White House with a cake featuring a chocolate microphone for quite awhile.
January 24th, 2009 at 10:08 amThat’s not at all what Obama was saying.
“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done” doesn’t mean you shouldn’t listen to Rush Limbaugh. It means you have to do MORE than JUST listen to Rush Limbaugh.
I love this blog, but that’s a pretty careless misinterpretation of obvious language.
January 24th, 2009 at 10:09 amPresident Obama is kicking ass and taking names! Love it!
January 24th, 2009 at 10:19 amWoo Says:
So, that he said it with tact and style diminishes the meaning in what way?
January 24th, 2009 at 10:21 amI am so happy that Obama pointed out to the Republicans that he won. He should have also said, “I won with a mandate from the people”. It’s funny how Republicans only think that elections have consequences when they win.
I give Obama maybe another week to come to the realization that attempting bi-partisanship with the Republicans is a lost cause and he gives it up. I don’t think that the Democrats should treat the Republicans the same way they treated the Democrats for 8 years, but I do think they have the right to say “we listened to you, we disagree, now go away”.
January 24th, 2009 at 10:43 amwhere is this trillion dollars coming from again?
January 24th, 2009 at 10:45 amI’m thinking that Limbaugh is pretty scared right now. He envisions his minions deserting him and he will be right if he keeps up the way he is now. With Obama’s favorably ratings, some of those people must listen to Rush and are going to be turned off by hearing him say that he hopes Obama fails. They are smart enough to know that if Obama fails, so does this country.

The same place the trillion dollars Bush has spent on occupying Iraq came from. At least Obama is not asking for the money as “emergency spending” and off the books.
January 24th, 2009 at 10:49 amRemember how it was George Bush who wanted to bailout the banking industry originally? Well, we didn’t have the money then either, but that didn’t stop ole George in asking for it. And we remember how the Senate added another $150 BILLION to the already $700 BILLION!
And besides…
The right wingers of America are always touting how we Americans should be able to keep our money, so when President Obama says he wants to give money to the working class of our nation, the right wingers go ape shit!
So which is it? Do you wingers want breaks on your taxes so you can get some extra money at the end of the year? Do you want a check written to you that you don’t have to pay back to help out your ‘family’s economy’ right now? Or do you want the Banks, the Treasury, and Big Business to get the money (only to lay off people, keep the money, and then send our jobs overseas) and do nothing?
You decide, morons.

It is hilarious for the wingnuts (not screwed on tightly) to ask a question like this when their hero and his minions have spent like drunken sailors for the past eight years for wars that were completely unnecessary and bogus, and allowed the thugs to steal the entire financial system broke.
It is time for all people who supported the past administration to take a seat at the back of the bus and allow the grownups to operate this country. You would possibly learn something…like your way sucks and failed…it did not work!

So, if millions more lose their jobs because the economy is in the dumps and there are no jobs to be had, tell us how cutting taxes is going to help. Those millions won’t be paying any taxes (revenue to the government) and since they don’t have a job, they won’t be getting a tax cut.

Oh come on barfly. Do you really think that more people are going to tune into Limpballs because Obama said what he said? I doubt it. I think that Limpballs has already maxed out his audience and is panicked that he is going to start losing listeners considering how high Obama’s approval ratings are.

You make me sick, because you’re forgetting why over 2 million jobs were lost just last year alone and why we’re on the fast track to the bottom! We can thank the last administration who did nothing to quell the plummet, but instead who spent their days talking about Terri Schiavo when they controlled all 3 branches of government, and then when the Democrats took over, they spent their days blocking everything while George Bush either vetoed or didn’t sign the pieces of legislation into law!
By giving Americans some money, they’ll spend it and when they spend it, the companies do better. Honestly, there is no one way to save what the fascist capitalists did for years, but at least Barack is saying he thinks it’s the American people who should get SOME money, instead of giving it all to the top tier of this country (who also own the larger businesses) who will only cut more jobs!
What is your answer to what has been wrought on our country?
January 24th, 2009 at 12:30 pmRush Limbaugh is a sick, sad, self-consumed man. Can’t you tell by looking at him? Karma is playing kickball with his face and, we know, his arteries. He will drop dead in our lifetime and it will not be without some final, fitful moments of helpless regret. He and his kind need to be banned from public discourse by which I mean we should stop listening to them and posting their drivel. Let their own machinery eat them — the ratings. Stop arguing with him and his unfortunate followers. It’s what feeds them. Go forth and do good and don’t waste a minute of your brain on Rush the Magic Bigot. His days are numbered.

January 24th, 2009 at 12:39 pmCongratulations to progressives on Obama’s presidential victory and historic inauguration. I did not vote for President Obama, but I support him, trust him and believe he is the right person to deal with today’s challenging environment. I hope he can deliver on his vision, despite my reservations about increased government.
I understand the sentiment that because Obama won the election and Democrats enjoy a more substantial majority in the Congress that they can ‘trump’ Republicans. That’s how it goes.
I also understand President Obama (and a majority of the American people) wanting to foster a new era of bipartisanship.
But, if you consider the definition of bipartisanship:
How do you reconcile Obama’s call for bipartisanship and the comment: “I won. I will trump you on that.”
That doesn’t sound like cooperation, agreement or compromise.
I personally don’t find the New York Post that credible. And question whether Obama even made the statement. Or at least the context. But, if it is true, I think the American people will see the inconsistency sooner or later.
If Obama and the Congressional Democratic leadership want to use their mandate to force their will over objections of Republicans, that’s their right. Possibly their obligation. But, if that’s the intention, why not do it without the disingenuous calls for bipartisanship.

Not so. Our “hopes and dreams” are that, since we have chosen a President, who has in turn made numerous appointments, perhaps the US can fight its way up out of the tar pit into which the previous 8 years have pushed us.

It begins here because for a century and a half now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance has come an era of peace in the Pacific.” (18th Feb 2002)
I’m trying to do the math: “a century and a half.” That would take us back to Civil War times. How “enduring” was our alliance with Japan when they bombed Pearl Harbor? during the Bataan Death March?
January 24th, 2009 at 1:03 pmRandom.
It didn’t work for Bush. It was either disingenuous or maybe not possible. I believe the idea of bipartisanship may not be possible. Someone has to make the decisions. Americans have elected Democrats to do it. The answer is probably for Democrats to make the partisan decisions they were elected for.
But, if Obama is serious about trying to be bipartisan (as he says he is), ‘I won. I will trump you on that’, doesn’t sound like a positive step in that direction.

The real question you should be asking is why the republicans are not on board for the changes needed. They have no solutions yet they don’t want anyone else’s idea to see the light of day……..
January 24th, 2009 at 1:30 pmBackup,
The Quote attributed to a comment given by President Obama(I love the sound of that!)as reported (not witnessed) by 3rd parties is in all most likelyhood entirely out of context. I do agree with you that, taken as presented, It shows a very partisan aspect. However, I think that is probably more a reflection of the partisanship/bias of the reporter(s) own opinions.
At this point in time, I am more enclined to put trust in what President Obama has to say to us directly. I do not put much stock in any of the National Media drivel.
January 24th, 2009 at 1:33 pmkaty. Explain it to me. He wants to lecture people about how they need to be more bipartisan. Then he follows it up with “I won. I will trump you on that.”
I think Obama should lead and make the decisions that he feels are best for the country. That’s what he was elected to do. He was not elected to compromise with Republicans. Many times, over compromised decisions aren’t good decisions.
Cantors got reservations about spending. Many people have those concerns. But, decisions have to be made and they are Obama’s to make.
You can’t have it both ways. The appeal of bipartisan compromise is incompatible with Obama using his mandate to ‘trump’ opposition.

January 24th, 2009 at 1:38 pmRandom. I agree with you. What I’ve seen from President Obama over the past 3 years, he is very intelligent and very savvy. I have a hard time believing that he would relax his composure to state the obvious. I also believe it was taken out of context.
But, nobody’s perfect. It is possible. Even so, it would be a very small misstep in an otherwise auspicious beginning.
January 24th, 2009 at 1:41 pmCaptain,
You hold up one comment as an example of President Obama’s failure to act in a bipartisan manner. Ok, that’s one.
I suggest you look at the last 8 years — and the last 4 days — for examples of how the Republicans (party first, country second) have failed to act in a bipartisan manner.
Get over yourself.

January 24th, 2009 at 1:49 pmYou’re out of school as usual captain. the republicans have been allowed to come to the table which is more than they allowed the dems when they were in power.
It is up to the republicans to get on board or become even less relevant in the future……I personally hope they continue until they destroy themselves completely.
January 24th, 2009 at 1:57 pmIf, by reminding a minority member of the Congress that he has won and is in charge, the president is displaying a lack of bipartisanship you are claiming he is telling the person to shut up I think you misread the statement.
It sounds to me like he is saying, buddy, learn to play nice with others because things are changing.
January 24th, 2009 at 2:01 pmZooey. (et al). I agree Obama is doing a good job of trying to be bipartisan. I also see the Republican partisanship of the past.
I’m assuming progressives have higher standards for Obama and Democrats than comparisons to Bush and Republicans.
This posting and many of the comments seem to applaud Obama’s ‘trump’ comment. I’m just saying that if Obama is serious about bipartisanship, that comment is a misstep and a turn back towards the status quo.
Obama is better than that.
January 24th, 2009 at 2:17 pmJust a thought but when are we going to get past this black/white idea? Neither the Repugs nor the Dems have a lock on what is good for America. Nor the Progressives, nor the Greens nor the Libertarians nor any one group.
If any one of them had the carved-in-stone, right-from-god’s-mouth answer, it would have happened by now. Face it folks, we are a diverse society and there probably isn’t a single answer other than we have to work together.

January 24th, 2009 at 2:48 pmFred. I agree that elections have consequences. The American people chose Democrats to lead the country. They should lead and drop the facade of bipartisanship. I disagree that Republicans need to ‘get on board’. You probably wouldn’t agree that Democrats should have just gotten on board with Bush policy over the past 8 years. There are real ideological differences. The majority decide the debate and now favor Democratic leadership. But, the ideological differences remain. If Obama and the Democratically controlled congress show effective leadership and positive results, they will enjoy continued dominance. If they do not, the ideological pendulum may swing back. I hope Obama is successful and the American people are better off for it. But, it is the opposition that provides an alternative to ensure those with the power keep working to promote the general welfare.

January 24th, 2009 at 4:30 pmThey can hardly worship Saint Ronnie and the rogues gallery of wingnuts on steroids both without glaring contradiction that is bound to get them in even deeper.
Op-ed piece by Mickey Edwards a long time confidante of Reagan tells how the current crew of Republicans is a wispy perversion of the Reagan to whom they regularly pay homage.
It is a perfect matching bookend to this report:
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/commentary/la-oe-edwards24-2009jan24,0,3344794.story
Let’s just hope they keep going down the path they are on.
They are so spiteful that they cannot read the writing on the wall…they just do the opposite of what Obama recommends. At least that lets Obama control them. He compels them to continue taking orders from the wingnut like Limbaugh bu suggesting they do otherwise. This is the same sort of reverse psychology one would use on a pre-schooler.
Apparently it is working.
January 24th, 2009 at 6:24 pmNow, why in the world would anyone think that Obama would give the GOP good advice? They already didn’t listen to Rush and nominated “Maverick” John McCain.
It’s really chilling when the someone in the highest office in the land tells you not to listen to someone. This is just the first salvo in taking away your right to freedom of speech. Next, it will be the “fairness” doctrine.
After that, look out Second Amendment! Obama, the so-called constitutional scholar, said that he doesn’t believe that the US Constitution pertains to the rights of the individual. This is the same man that makes a rule banning lobbyists in his administration the same day he nominates a lobbyist to Deputy Secretary of Defense.
The GOP doesn’t get it. They lost the election because their candidate was not a conservative. Soon, it will dawn on the Republicans that they need to get back to their conservative roots. That’s why California’s Proposition 8 passed even though California voted for the socialist Obama.

Crazy guys. :)
Reap the whirlwind Rush Limbaugh
January 24th, 2009 at 10:10 pmToo much resources being dedicated to Rush. Nothing but hot air coming from his neck of the woods. Can we blame Rush for global warming since he won’t shut his hole ever?

TLG, it’s really chilling when someone in the highest office in the land tells you that if you vote for a Democrat, the country will be attacked.

January 25th, 2009 at 3:13 amI won? I don’t know if that’s the best way to go about getting a 1 trillion dollar check. This whole stimulus thing is worrying. It’s more of the Bush approach to economics. Tax cuts, increased spending. I know economists say this is how it’s done but when has it ever worked? If history is to be trusted, these machinations extended and deepened the Depression.
January 25th, 2009 at 7:09 amdrew3rd, you are all over the place. In a previous thread you worship Bush and here you are dissing him. Check your meds.

YOU are delusional. The Emerson decision says DIRECTLY that arms must have a militia function to fall under the second amendment. Notice the precondition in the second amendment that doesnt exist in the rights of the first amendment now it may be arguable. I dont care one way or another what you think about it the bald statement that it is Obamas position is ridiculous is plain stupid. Obama was editor of Harvard Law review. Where did you get YOUR degree in Constitutional Law again? Oh you dont have one? Imagine my surpise.
It is another bone ignorant argument that the GOP lost out because they werent rightwing ENOUGH. I am begging the GOP to follow YOUR lead and run nothing but rabid rightwing ideologues from now on. Good luck with that.

My GOD you are ignorant. There is no free speech issue here at all. The claim there is some anger at free speech here is one of the stupidest things ever written in the English language. You are a moron. Rush is a bufoon. If you listen to him you are often being lied to and mostly being misled. What part of that being a bad idea are YOU too stupid to understand?
January 26th, 2009 at 3:26 ampersonally, I think the President made a mistake here.. complaining about Rush Limbaugh is like lighting a fire under those nutty ditto-heads.. one thing that would be really cool, in my humble opinion, would be for the President to call Limbaugh’s show unexpectedly one day, and thus catch Limbaugh off-guard…
January 26th, 2009 at 12:35 pmI’d absolutely LOVE for BHO to call Rush. Actually, I’s sit down with BHO ANY DAY and debate economics with him. I’d literally expose him for the Socialist/Marxist he is. All of the taxpayer money that got him through Harvard, and he knows nothing about economics. He couldn’t get a security clearance because of his affiliations with Ayers, yet now he has the highest clearance one can have.
I don’t listen to Rush very often, but many of you here don’t either, so you don’t even realize you’re shooting the messenger because of the message.
Socialism/Marxism and Keynesian economics have NEVER worked.
You think that America was just overwhelmed that they were hiring a Black man (he’s really Arab/African)? Believe me, if it were Clarence Thomas who was running it would have been totally different. It was because after 35 years of public “education” (as evidenced here, and on Kos and Huffington), too many Americans believe that government is the answer….. that just because they breath oxygen, and have needs, that they have the right to rob, by the threat of government force, from people who have earned their money, to pay for what you feel you have some non-existent “right” to.
As outlined in the 2nd Amendment, and as George Mason said, the “militia” is “the whole of the people. In fact, Constitutionally, the FBI, DEA, DNR…. and every government agency EXCEPT the Armed Forces, has NO RIGHT to carry weapons. The 2nd Amendment is the reset switch on the Constitution. When government is afraid of your weapons, then it’s doing it’s job correctly. When the government is no longer afraid of Americans having weapons, the “The People” better beware, and be prepared for another civil war.
The Dems, and BHO in particular, absolutely HATE The Constitution, as it puts limits as to what they can and cannot do. Everything in the supposed “stimulus” bill is unconstitutional. But most all of you here don’t care a bit.

REPLY: Since you haven’t owned a business (as I do) or been told the truth in History class: reductions in the tax rate has worked EVERY TIME it has been used. It worked for Queen Elizabeth the 1st; and for Kennedy, and for Reagan, and for Bush Jr. Go back and check out the entire gamut of the economy from 2003 to 2006. There was a recession (almost a depression) in 1920. The president lowered tax rates, cut government spending. and what happened? …. the Roaring Twenties. FDR’s policies took America from a medium-sized recession into the decade-long Great Depression. and, no, it wasn’t WWII that got it out of the depression; WWII ended the New Deal, and THAT got America out of the Depression.

REPLY: A perfect example of the intellect that voted for BHO, the inability to debate and discuss of a intellectual level, and the result from 35 years of government-run schools.
