"Fox & Friends" asks is Obama more concerned about Limbaugh than the economy and "war on terror"?

Rush Discusses His Bipartisan Stimulus Plan On Fox & Friends

<snip>

CARLSON: Thank you for rubbing it in, Rush. But what I want to ask you when we come back is whether or not Barack Obama should be more concerned with things like the economy and maybe Al-Qaeda -- if in fact we are still in a war on terror -- than you.

DOOCY: That's right. Plus, Rush has got a great... He's got his own stimulus plan. He writes about it today in the Wall Street Journal, and he talked about it on the air this week on his show. More with Rush from sunny Palm Beach in just a moment.



:crazy:

1. I guess Fox and Friends didn't get the memo that the "War on Terror" ended last week.
And how could Obama be any more focused on the economy than he already is? :crazy:

2. So a RW "news" source quotes a RW "news" source and this is real?
reminds me of Dick/Condy/Rummy quoting Judith Miller articles on their leaks before Iraq

But hey, what could possibly go wrong???

3. They did the same with swifts - attacking Kerry for addressing swifts instead of campaign issues
and then, of course, trying to claim afterwards that Kerry never addressed the claims of the swifts.

They have their storylines written every way which way but the truth,

4. That sounds like a stupid question fauxn00ze
would come up with because they have no fresh ideas.

But, limpbaugh is a big liar who gets blasted over the airwaves like Toyko Rose did during World War 11 so he does need to be held accountable.

5. Rush Limbaugh is one reason to keep Gitmo open.
with one resident. Or maybe three, counting the outgoing prez & veep.

Anyway, yes, I'm sure that Rush occupies all of Obama's thoughts, all day every day.

12. Rush lied when he said the majority of spending will be released after the 2010 elections
Edited on Thu Jan-29-09 12:24 PM by Life Long Dem
He thinks this is to save the dems in the election.

Opps... on edit... I posted this in the wrong place.

6. "No." - Americans

"While republicon homelanders and their overpaid cadre of chickenhawk propaganda puppets may take delight in raising idiotic questions in the hope that they will help cause America to FAIL, no real patriotic citizen would give this rediculous gambit as much as a dried-up dingleberry of interest."

- Americans

7. I donot watch that excrement channel....EVER!
Doocy is possibly the dumbest human being on TV and the other howler monkeys that work there are spared the "dumbest" label only because he is there...

As for the right wing "strategy" that is emerging - obstruct, lie and wait - it is doomed to failure. The best thing that could happen right now would be for OPbama to look at yesterday's House vote as a chance to send the middle finger right back at the asshat brigade....I would recall the bill, strip out every single tax-cut that Repukes LIKE AT ALL, and increase the spending portions of the bill by those exact amounts.

I got a better idea for Rush's so-called compromise - let's do it the Democrat way again, and we will use the Bush-tax cutting approach as the baseline to measure against....if things do not get better, then we will concede that neither plan worked and we need a different approach. Why in the hell would anyone seriously aadvocate ZERO CAPITAL GAINS for a year and then a "new rate" of 10%...are you fucking kidding me???? That helps middle and low income families HOW exactly? The Capital Gains rate is the biggest Canard of all. A thinly veiled opportunity to steal more money for the ultra rich....


If this keeps up it may be time to prepare for the days of the guillotine again....do these idiots weven realize how much what they are doing and saying sounds like ":Let the eat cake..."??????

10. Actually President Obama has moved on and it's Limbaugh who's screaming
I like that. President Obama drops a bomb then just moves on to more important business leaving not only the Republicans in a tizzy while Limbaugh beats his chest claiming everyone is afraid of him, but the DCCC moves in to get Democrats everywhere to sign a petition demanding that Limbaugh apologize.

President Obama may not have know what a bomb he was dropping but it sure has been effective. Basically he controlled what FOX News, Rush and everyone would be talking about. If anyone didn't know who Rush is before, I bet he's been googled a few million times. Newcomers will be appalled.

11. Obama just made a comment that shows he knows Limbo is out there
Faux is trying to eliminate that and get back to the old way, where Rushole is never challenged by the President or anyone is government.

IOW, Rushbo is trivial and should not be mentioned, yet what Rushbo thinks and his plans for the economy :rofl: should be considered.

14. It is no longer even worth the effort
of wasting a minute to respond to the drivel. Fuck 'em as they become irrelevant.
