If It's Rush's ego that landed, be prepare to go the way of the dinosaurs folks! KAPLOW!!!
it's been real!
Why is the right wing unable to admit that the world rejected the US not Obama? Does this guy know that polls have been taken to show that the world likes O, but can't stand the PEOPLE of this country?

Why oh why does anyone listen to this overinflated windbag. He's a miserabble SOB who needs to stop talking and actually be part of helping America get back on its feet. The party of NO, the talk radio of NO the ideas of NO - its all so tiresome.

It's obvious
That Rush feels
Under threat from the rash upstart
Glenn Beck.
He's going to have to ramp up
The crazy if he wants to stay at the top
Of the fetid stinking heap
Of anti-American sentiment
Shouting from the cheap seats.
Go Rush!
You look so pretty.

Wow. He's getting really worked up. I'm entertained!
He might blow a valve. Can't be good for the old ticker.
Rush is stepping up! He's doing a good job of rallying the barbarians.

This man revels, I mean really revels is anything that appears to be
make Obama seem less than perfect. I feel like it is deeper than politics. What is it?
MrOverThere
He has severe anger.
unclelew
He loves it when America fails. Look at the glee on his moronic face.
He really should try tranquilizers, lots of them
meglon978
I'm sure he already has.. they probably didn't mix well with all the other drugs he's addicted to... although it's odd for a drug addict to care really.

Drugs affect people in different ways. This is the result of Rush on drugs. Disgusting and a good reason to remake the movie "Reefer Madness" even though is was tongue in cheek.

Flush Limbo couldn't fight in the Vietnam War
He had a pimple on his ass that was too sore
No guts or brains but he could blab
dupes swallowed it like eating flab
He's a porn star selling political sleaze hardcore!

This is simply insane and should be removed from the airwaves. Here's the deal folks. WHOEVER is in Office as President is, in fact, America's Salesman-In-Chief. It is and has been that way for all President's through all time. Salesmen, as we all know, are not 100% successful. To argue such is an insane proposition, yet it is attempted anyhow. Who does that disgrace?
Clearly Obama knew the bid was in trouble and tried to put his imprimatur on 'the effort'. Olympics are very big deals economically and clearly Obama knows this, or he wouldn't have tried as he did. His effort, like the efforts of those who made the bid in the first place, is where the 'character' always lies. To take issue with the effort is completely insane.
Here's the 'catch'. To say what Limbaugh is saying is self damning. It is the offer and proposition of the impossible that is always the keystone to uncovering 'intent'. "If you are truly God, cast yourself down from this mountain and let your angels rescue you, lest you dash your foot upon a stone."
To blame any person, especially a President, for being less than PERFECT is also the demand of the impossible. This is deliberate, it is treasonous, it is highly partisan, and it itself seeks to destroy by making a demand for perfection in the first instance. It is like asking pigs to fly...which in just looking at Limbaugh, we know is not possible.
This is the fundamental and damning self revelation that Republicans unwittingly expose themselves to and for which there is simply 'no character'. Why do they do this at all? It is a reflection, a foil, of how completely poisoned their minds are, how completely 'unholy' their intent truly is, and how little they know of themselves, which makes them particularly dangerous to the Public themselves. If the Republicans are relying on Limbaugh to aide their cause, it is having the opposite effect, just as predicted many, many months ago...and is simply a play against the human weakness to react to impulse. That is all the game Limbaugh has, and his embrace of it is the true reflection not only of the man, but of his intent and his character....just as The Bible points out.

Republicans put and keep people, and mainly American's and the country, down. Democrats and Independents lift them up and give them hope. What exactly is Rush but UnAmerican?

You don't hear Obama calling himself studly, even though he is more so than Lush.
exploora
Oops. Typo alert. I meant Rush not Lush.

He is getting boring, so predictable! If your garbage man didn't come and pick up your trash this morning, guess whose fault that is?
If you were surprised that Rio got the games you don't know what the your talking about. US had it in Atlanta, Barcelona (Spain, same country as Madrid if you didn't know) the time before then and China this last time (which is not Japan but none the less in Asia). South America has never had it so it was a no brainier.
If I was the president and a avid sport fan I would do anything to get the Olympics in my city but looking at Rush and his physical appearance I'm not expecting him to understand that.
Thank you.
