On The Ed Show last night, he played a clip of Limbaugh that made it clear as day...

[jenmito]

that he doesn't think Obama deserves the respect of a President. I know-he has said PLENTY of things that prove this, but this comment stood out to me. I put it in bold:

LIMBAUGH: Speaker Boehner must say no to this request. He can say
no to this. It`s up to the speaker of the House.

The president can`t just say, "I`m showing up. Put everybody in the
audience there, I`m coming over to make a speech."

Boehner can say no to this.

You do not let this happen! This is intended not only to disrupt the
Reagan Library debate but to make Obama look bigger than the Republicans,
bigger than politics, and they can`t -- the Republicans, if they have any
hope of winning the 2012 election, (have) got to put this guy in his place
using this as their opportunity to do it.

Boehner has got to say no. Whether he will, I have no clue.

Just what IS "his place" in Limbaugh's opinion? I know it's NOT 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.-at least not as the President. And the worst part is that Boehner LISTENED to him. For anyone still accusing Obama of "caving" for not getting permission to speak Wed. night, maybe your anger should be directed at the OTHER side.

8. Awww. You're so helpless.

Can't do anything unless you have a leader.

Good grief. If a tenth of the energy on this board devoted to pointless calls for a mythical primary challenger, name-calling of the President etc. etc. etc. was devoted to beating back against the Boehners and Limbaughs of this world ...

6. The DNC should run an ad showing clips of Limbaugh and then Boehner with a clip of a news report

saying that Boehner cleared the date for Obama at first but then reneged after Limbaugh said what he said.

3. I totally agree..

That there is a black man with his black family in the WHITE house, obviously galls limbaugh the racist ..I cannot believe that here in the 21st century he still has a national platform from which to spew his venomous ignorance
