Not everyone can take the high road: Rush Limbaugh mocked President Obama in his radio show Monday, saying Obama had nearly botched the Osama bin Laden’s capture and only initiated the mission as a re-election ploy. “Ladies and Gentlemen, we need to open this program today by congratulating President Obama,” Limbaugh said at the beginning of his show. “President Obama has done something extremely effective, and when he does, this needs to be pointed out.” Limbaugh also said Obama made the entire rescue mission about himself and said the president wouldn’t let the military use traditional bombing—thus nearly causing the capture not to happen. Further, Limbaugh said, if Obama “were a shoo-in for re-election, Osama bin Laden would be alive today.” Despite the sarcastic tone, many thought Limbaugh was serious at first.
