Like who? I don't think so.
He's a fascist-communist-marxist-hitlerian-stalinist-pinko-mussoliniesque-socialist-tojo.
Like who? I don't think so.
You're kidding, right?
Chump - you've finally seen the light!
don't forget that he was wasting valuable time filling out an NCAA tournament bracket.Yeah - well, he hasn't had time yet to limit our personal freedoms. He's been too busy buying dvds and IPods and planting that vegetable garden.
I hope big government doesn't end up filling out my bracket for me.
You have yet to substantiate any such claim.Chump - you've finally seen the light!
Am I supposed to know who he has in mind? Do you?
In a word: aw yeah.
Ok, then spill. Who all did he mean besides WC and AHF and maybe Crookshanks, or LockBeard or ignignokt or Yonivore? There could be like twenty or thirty people Blake was talking about. Who was he talking about?
you forgot dead cat and snottt
awesome!
I'm glad the three Bushes were doing important things like calling Rush, patting him on the back (head....whatever), and gushing over each other instead of doing something stupid like planting a garden.THE PRESIDENT: I'm here with a room full of admirers. There are two others that would like to speak to you and congratulate you, people who consider you friends and really appreciate the contribution you've made.
was this before or after he flew in on the battleship and declared victory?THE PRESIDENT: I am great. We're doing very good, thank you very much, sir. Concerned about our economy, obviously, but know we need to be drilling for some oil and gas in order to take the pressure off the gas prices -- and I'm pleased with the progress in Iraq.
j/k
Man, if only we had started drilling when he had first suggested it........we might be paying 30 cents a gallon right now like Iran.THE PRESIDENT: Yeah. Well, what we ought to be doing is encouraging oil companies to find oil, and that's the best way to take the pressure off the gasoline prices. We're on a very strong push to get the Congress to allow for there to be offshore drilling, and most Americans understand now that an increase in oil, particularly here in America, will help take pressure off of price. And I tell people I'd rather, you know, be buying American oil instead of sending our money overseas.
Well if 4 years later the price is still high, then I'm guessing he really didn't jawbone enough.....RUSH: You know, Mr. President, it's amazing. In 2004 during your campaign, Senator Kerry was constantly criticizing you for not "jawboning" with the Saudis enough to bring the price of oil down. Now, four years later, they're doing everything they can to keep the price from coming down. They apparently want it to remain high.
although I'm thinking neither jawboning nor drilling offshore would put much of a dent in the high price of oil from a year or so ago.
"....however Texas might be a better place to have my backup studio......as you may know, New York is oppresive."RUSH: It's a great place to live, governor. It really is, as you well know.
Rush: "....because we both know that "No Child Left Behind" has sucked a$$."RUSH: Well, good. Keep at it, because if there's something that needs reform in this country, it's certainly that.
JEB: Absolutely.
RUSH: Particularly public education.
hey Crookshanks, what did Rush have to say about McCain's policy about healthcare in regards to giving everyone a flat amount and letting them go nuts with it at the doctor's office?....When they were waving their arms, they had given me a written note on the computer monitor here: "President's on the line! President's on the line!" and I was looking at my story here talking about Obama and his stupid idiot idea for Big Oil to give everybody a check for a thousand bucks. Then, finally, Brian starts waving his arms and so forth, and that's when I noticed it. So we're off to a rousing start. Who knows what's coming? Certainly I don't.
Actually ... Rush does not live in New Yawk. He moved away 12 years ago. He is only there, he says, when there is a hurricane. Or perhaps when he has business to do. So he pays NY taxes on a per diem basis. The amount of $$ involved, and perhaps his name, cause him to be audited every year. I almost got audited once -- it sucked. So I don't blame him.
And besides, he is only shopping for a BACKUP studio. And Texas is one possibility.
I understand that Oscar Goodman, the mayor of Las Vegas (one of the best mayors in America), called him personally. He wants Rush to come. And NV has no state tax either.
Geez Blake - you asked for the transcript and I provided it. I didn't ask for your running commentary. And besides, what's the big deal about this phone call? They were simply calling to congratulate him and they made a little small talk.
And surely you can't think the President shouldn't take time out of his day for lunch with his father and brother. The whole phone call lasted about 10 or 15 minutes - about as much time as a smoke break for Obama.
The hatred some people have for Limbaugh, Bush, Cheney, et al!
Um ... you guys WON! Why you angry?
Everybody calm down, take a deep breath ... if Rush wants to set up a backup studio in Texas somewhere, good for him. It won't hurt anybody. In fact, it would probably bring a few jobs here. That's good.
Did he force you to read his post? Just curious.
Really? This kind of comment after an iPod thread about Obama? I don't hate Bush or Cheney (although the latter does make my blood boil much more than the former). And I only have such disdain for Limbaugh because he intentionally appeals to the lowest common denominator. Not saying that you have to be stupid to like Rush, but I think his methods are obscene biased to the point of no objectivity at all.
Perhaps the iPod gaffe (and the DVD gaffe) would be allowed as a simple mistake if (a) Obama's people hadn't presented their guy as this brilliant mastermind of negotiation and singularly able to repair America's soiled image, and (b) the media wouldn't have jumped on Bush's every goof, real or made-up. I know I would have.
As for Rush: yeah, I've heard that criticism. Are you a listener? Can you give examples of conservative commentators, or writers, that you like better? Why are they better? I would love to know.
Who says it's a gaffe? Apparently she really liked it, as well as the other gift that went along with it. Apparently you are ignorant of it. No surprise.iPod gaffe
Interesting that you would think the iPod gift is a bad one. What part of this is difficult to comprehend?
This is your position:
"OMG HE GAVE HER AN IPOD WUT A HORRIBLE GIFT"
*The queen proceeds to hug Mic e Obama*
"OMG OUR IMAGE IS DESTROYED THE BRITISH HATE US!"
*The queen comments on how much she likes the Obama family*
"OMG IPOD IPOD IPOD"
Do you not see how ridiculous of an argument this is? The royal family LOVES Obama. How much more clearly does this need to be stated? If a boyfriend comes over to visit his g/f's family, and they ask him when he's planning to marry their daughter, it doesn't matter that he forgot to bring a rose for the mother. He's in. And that's assuming that Obama made a faux pas here. But this is not up for debate. The fact that several people are crowing about how the queen already has an iPod... really? Seriously? A 6 GB mini is equal to a full size video iPod now? Are you all really going to break it down to a that level of... for lack of anything else to describe it... obstinate silliness? At this point, I'm just shaking my head and laughing at how ridiculous you are. Seriously. This is THE most ridiculous thread I have ever seen in the political forum that wasn't an express troll-job. And that's saying a of a lot.
You don't have a leg to stand on here. I really wish you'd just admit that you're wrong and making a huge deal out of ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. But I don't have my hopes up. That would take the ability to see past your own noses, and I haven't seen that from many conservative ST members in this forum.
I am so sick to death of pointing out the facts here for every wounded conservative that has to make it appear that Bush couldn't get a break in the media in order to exonorate their party of any wrongdoing and claim unfairness. Sooo, I'm forced to make it in big text just so I can be sure you all read it this time.and (b) the media wouldn't have jumped on Bush's every goof, real or made-up. I know I would have.
Bush's approval rating in 2001: 92% , the highest in U.S. history. Yep, you're right, the media did nothing but criticize Bush. Oh, wait, he had the entire country behind him and pissed it away by lying right to our face about WoMD, the war on terror (in IRAQ?!) and torture. Gee, I wonder why the media rips him apart now?
Besides, if you admit this kind of thing is so das ly and wrong, why are you doing it to Obama? If you're really convinced the media is SO unfair, why sink to their level? Oh, that's right, because it's the only way to make yourselves feel better about the current presidency.
I'm just attempting to counter the sentiment that seems to be present regarding Rush that every conservative in the country thinks he's the sole hope for our country (well, outside of Sarah PalinAs for Rush: yeah, I've heard that criticism. Are you a listener? Can you give examples of conservative commentators, or writers, that you like better? Why are they better? I would love to know.

My brother bought me an 2nd gen iPod Nano for my Bday last year and I was so PISSED! He knew I already owned an iPod Shuffle, that thoughtless bas !
OTO, if Obama had given her a Zune instead, then we would have a legit gaffe crisis on our hands now.
GTFO.....we have no more rooms at the inn.
Wow! Texas attracts the worst crowd..
I'm a fascist poster.
Thanks again. I found it entertaining.
or enough time for Obama to fill out his NCAA bracketAnd surely you can't think the President shouldn't take time out of his day for lunch with his father and brother. The whole phone call lasted about 10 or 15 minutes - about as much time as a smoke break for Obama.
From what I've read so far, the British media loves Mic e Obama too.
