Steele to Obama: ‘How You Like Me Now?’

Steele Apologizes To Rush

Oh my, talk about castrated.

Well, we know who is top dog on the right. It’s like we’ve been saying: Rush Limbaugh.

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says he has reached out to Rush Limbaugh to tell him he meant no offense when he referred to the popular conservative radio host as an “entertainer” whose show can be “incendiary.”

“My intent was not to go after Rush – I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh,” Steele said in a telephone interview. “I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership.”

Jesus, that is pathetic. A bigoted pill-popping knuckle dragging blow hard is running a major political party, and nobody over there has even half a ball to stand up to him.

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs got it just right in today’s briefing.

I think that — I think maybe the best question, though, is for you to ask individual Republicans whether they agree with what Rush Limbaugh said this weekend. Do they want to see the President’s economic agenda fail? You know, I bet there are a number of guests on television throughout the day and maybe into tomorrow who could let America know whether they agree with what Rush Limbaugh said this weekend.

You know, I mean, I think he — I mean, I think it would be charitable to say he doubled down on what he said in January in wishing and hoping for economic failure in this country. I can only imagine what might have been said a few years ago if somebody might have said that on the other side relating to what was going on in this country or our endeavors overseas. You know, I’d like to think, and I think most people would like to think, that we can put aside our differences and get things done for the American people.

I will say, in watching a few cable clips of Mr. Limbaugh’s speech, his notion of presidential failure seemed to be quite popular in the room in which he spoke.

2. rush is the pitcher, and the rethug leaders are the catchers. or does he just

make them orally pleasure him. The rethug that finally stands up to him is the rethug that may pose a threat in 4 years. His time has to be almost done. How can this continue?

4. Rahm & Gibbs beating the Congressional Repubs over the head with Rush!

Too good.

10. Easy as hell too- a no-brainer.

If they refuse a response, it means Rush is their leader.

If they attack Rush, then he forces them to apologize, again proving he is their leader.

If one dared to REFUSE to apologize to Don Rush, then we get even more infighting, as the dissenter must choose between integrity or the Rush-loyal RNC, Senators & Congressmen- again, emphasing that what Rush says, goes.

Such a simple plan-and no lying or underhanded tactics needed- just light, truth & sunshine.

Dont mess with The O.

11. LOOOOVVVEEE it!

Obama is not only destroying the GOP, but doing it using their own professed Christian principles against them. Here, it's John 8:32 - "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."

And his bipartisanship, reaching out to the Rethugs? Romans 12:19-21 - "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."

LOVE doing in an enemy with his own weapon - Schadenfreude is a delightful thing...

12. "Stop hitting yourselves. Why are you hitting yourselves?"

Gibbs says to the Repugs as he's making them hit themselves (with Rush).
