Obama says Republicans privately tell him they're scared of Rush Limbaugh

[kpete]

From President Obama's CNN interview that aired Friday morning:

So the question is ultimately, if you are putting the American people first, if you are prioritizing them, then this shouldn't be that difficult. And I've made this argument to my Republican friends privately, and, by the way, sometimes they say to me privately, "I agree with you, but I'm worried about a primary from, you know, somebody in the Tea Party back in my district," or, "I'm worried about what Rush Limbaugh is going to say about me on the radio. And so you got to understand, I'm -- it's really difficult."

1. Good!

Rec.

2. Yes or No.

However they respond, they're screwed.
I love our smart President !

[Grassy Knoll]

3. I Thank Lumpnuts and Fux noise.......

Without them RobMe might be president.

[Downtown Hound]

4. They're scared of a drug addict that is losing advertisers and ratings faster

than he can pop pills? That's beyond pathetic. Rush Limbaugh can't last two minutes in a real debate where he can't screen callers or control the mike. If they're really scared of this man then they are even more pathetic than I thought.

5. Ditto

6. I'm reminded of the "Monster From The Id" on "Forbidden Planet"...

7. Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

He'll huff and he'll puff and he'll blow their house of cards down!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Limbaugh collapsing like Sen. Joe McCarthy: faster than a sex tourist's Viagra-starved dick.

When McCarthy was finally stood up to and called out, his hollow ranting ceased and he died soon after from alcoholism (a form of drug abuse).

Does Limbaugh know something about sex tourism and Viagra and the Dominican Republic and drug abuse?
