Well I guess that's one less burden for Nancy Pelosi to worry about. But I thought this kind of thing wasn't supposed to be happening with the Messiah in charge.
Oh prithee mercy O! Glorious Obama!
On Friday, Obama declared that “you can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done.” Within 100 hours of taking office, the president of the United States proceeded to single out a private citizen for his mere dissent, effectively expelling him from the government’s marketplace of ideas, and with him the millions of listeners of the same political stripe. Not even President Bush, whom we are instructed is the quintessential embodiment of divisive politics, ever managed to approximate such behavior in eight years of attracting the most vile of personal and political attacks.
Welcome to the politics of hope ‘n’ change. Obama’s startling attempt to hang Limbaugh’s scalp on the wall is a warning that the new ruler does not want unity – he demands it.
I guess the lives of conservatives are in danger after all, with this reaction from GOP leadership.
“I mean, it’s easy if you’re Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or even sometimes Newt Gingrich to stand back and throw bricks. But when it comes to true leadership, not that these people couldn’t be or wouldn’t be good leaders." Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga.
I guess they think conservatives aren't good enough as they were created and would look better with a disease.
RUSH: "He may not have noticed that the number of Republican colleagues he has in the House has dwindled. And they will dwindle more if he and his friends don't show more leadership and effectiveness in battling the most left-wing agenda in modern history. And they won't continue to lose because of me, but because of their relationship with the grassroots, which is hurting. Conservatives want leadership from those who claim to represent them. And we'll know it when we see it.”
