Obama Now Fixated On Rush Limbaugh

by Armand Vaquer

The New York Post reported:

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.

During the campaign, Obama appeared to have a fixation on Fox News' Sean Hannity by bringing up his name several times. Now it appears that Obama is responding to Limbaugh's interviews this week with Hannity on Hannity's new show.

Limbaugh recently said:

"I've been listening to Barack Obama for a year-and-a-half. I know what his politics are. I know what his plans are, as he has stated them. I don't want them to succeed."

This indicates to me that Obama is an amateur and has a thin skin. A more experienced and seasoned politician would just ignore specific critics. This also tells me that Limbaugh has been scoring points and stung Obama with his comments.

One thing that Obama is wrong on, the GOP has not been listening to Limbaugh. If they were, we would not have had such big losses in last year'e election and would not have nominated John McCain.

The Democrats have indicated that they plan to silence talk radio by passing either a new "fairness doctrine," law or through the back door with a local programming rule. Clearly, Obama and his Democratic allies want to censor any opposition points of view.
