A new book claims that President Obama refused to play golf with conservative talk radio star Rush Limbaugh.

In "Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One," which is due out later this month, author Zev Chafets reports that the President rebuffed a suggestion to meet his nemesis on the links. From the New York Post's Page Six:

When President Obama was asked if he would play a round of golf with his talk-radio nemesis Rush Limbaugh, the response, relayed by a top Democrat, was: "Limbaugh can play with himself."
Page Six reports that Chafets offered to ask the White House if Obama would play golf with Limbaugh, and Limbaugh said to "go ahead," predicting "nothing will come of it." Chafets then got in touch with "a very senior Democratic activist" who supposedly conveyed the request to the White House and returned with the message: "Limbaugh can play with himself."

Last month, Obama called Limbaugh and fellow conservative media star Glenn Beck "troublesome."

4. Propaganda.

Rahm had a wild assed dream and decided to leak it to the whores in the Press. :eyes:

[Tripmann]

5. I thought people like limbaugh

had a real problem sharing golf courses with black people.

Guess I was wrong about the guy :sarcasm:

[CBHagman]

6. Oy, there's an image I'll struggle to wash from my brain.

Ah, if only the president had chosen a different wording...

[rocktivity]

7. "Supposedly" relayed? By a "top" Democrat

If he couldn't be mentioned by name, how "top" can he or she be?

:boring:

8. If I had the chance I'd ask the world to golf but now I'm playing with myself...

[HopeHoops]

9. I doubt Rush can REACH himself. Even then, I doubt he could FIND it.

If there is one, it must have atrophied or rotted away by now.

[gratuitous]

10. I wouldn't go golfing with Rush, either

I mean, what if he keeled over from a massive coronary on the seventh fairway? Would I perform CPR? Or play through and notify the club that there was a new hazard on the course? The ethical dilemma would just ruin my round, I'm sure of it.

12. No problem. Just make him gound under repair.

[Bitwit1234]

13. AND he probably does when

he is off to PR with his viagra

[Rex]

14. Sorry Gush but unlike Lord Dubya, Obama had far more important

things to do then waste time on a round of golf. Be a good boy and go plug up that hole in the bottom of the sea. Take Glenn and Sean with you.
