"President Obama told the Republican lawmakers that "you can't just
listen to
Rush Limbaugh and get things done.""


To paraphrase Mark Twain: Never pick a fight with someone who has 20 million
listeners

Rush's follow-on comments:

"Speaking honestly, I mean look, people are misunderstanding this,
Snerdley got a couple calls from some of his buddies last night, 'What did
your boss mean, he wants the president to fail?'

"I remain dumbfounded at the high degree, the high level of ignorance
that there is out there. If it took a Drive-By reporter, Jim VandeHei of
The Politico to finally understand this and to try to get the Drive-Bys up
to speed on all this.

"But I just want to say, folks, look I support Obama. I just don't
support his policies. I support our president, like I have supported all
presidents. I just don't support Obama's policies. I don't support the
nationalization of the banks, which has happened. I don't support the
nationalization of the auto companies. I don't support the nationalization
of the mortgage business. I don't like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd running
things. And I don't want that to continue.

"But I support our president. I'm like anybody else, I support the
president. I just don't support the policies."

As with most conservatives, we want the President to succeed at what is
best for this country. But, that doesn't mean we think all his policies are
in the best interests of the country.

Many are simply in the best interests of Obama getting re-elected.
