Limbaugh: Obama is 'frightened of me'
[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/01/26/art.rush0126.gi.jpg caption=" Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh responded Monday to recent reported comments by President Obama."]
(CNN) - Radio host Rush Limbaugh said Monday that President Obama is “frightened of me.”
“He’s obviously more frightened of me than he is [Senate Minority Leader] Mitch McConnell,” Limbaugh told listeners. “He’s more frightened of me, then he is of say, [House Minority Leader] John Boehner, which doesn’t say much about our party.”
Limbaugh’s comments followed reports Obama warned GOP congressional leaders last week that they should stop listening to the conservative talker, who had said on air he wanted the new president to fail.
"Now this is the great unifier," he told listeners Monday. "This is the man who's going to unify everybody and usher in a new era of bipartisanship and love."
White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs gave reporters the administration's latest message to Limbaugh at Monday's press briefing: "Tell him I said, 'Hi,'" he joked.

More like Rush Lame-o is scared of Obama. If, God forbid, Obama did "usher in a new era of bipartisanship and love" then Rush would see his ratings drop, wouldn't he?
What a poor soul Limbaugh is. What we do not need right now is someone hoping that our president fails in clearing up the mess that Limbaugh helped create. RL is a born loser, a negative white bigoted person that lives in the past. The electorate have clearly stated that persons like him are no longer appreciated. Obama should ignore him entirely and treat him with the disdain that he rightfully deserves. Anything more would provide him with the attention which he craves so desperately to feed his overblown ego.
Limbauch is scared indeed: scared of the dropping ratings of his circus.
Rush speaks the truth. There must be a counterweight to the slobbering mainstream media that is having a love affair with Obama. They are not doing their job–it's the death of journalism as we know it and it will be to our peril if they don't stop.
What's frightening about Limbaugh are the number of people who rubber stamp his rhetoric. I can't imagine why anyone would listen to a prescription drug abuser.
Why does Rush hate America so much?
I do not think Obama is afraid of you, he sees you Limbaugh as division monger that you are. If you really wanted to do a service to the nation, you would keep your bigoted, biased, and controversial comments to yourself.
Hey Rush, NO ONE is "frightened" of you!! The only thing you are to anyone is NAUSEATING! Do the World a favor and overdose on your Oxy; and do it soon please!
Rush, the fat drug addicted draft dodger must be sniffing his old shoes.
Is Rush on drugs again, maybe he should check into rehab. Instead of spreading his message of hate he should be trying to support our new president, does he not realize if Obama fails the country and the world will fail.
What a big wind bag....
rush "drugged out" jerk. nobody is frightened of you. please. PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS OTHER THINGS TO THINK ABOUT. OH GOODNESS,PLEASE. LOL!!!! you are good for a laugh. you are giving the gop a bigger blackeye then they already have. you haven't figured out WHY the repubs lost? And not only lost but REALLY LOST BIG!!! so you stupid ignorant druggie, keep on with you crazy rants. I need a laugh while THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GET ON WITH FIXING THINGS THAT THE FORMER president dumb bell bush (aka welfare king. living off working Americans) made a mess of over the last 8 years.
Rush, you are as loony as Rod Blagojevich, and that's pretty darn loony. Get over yourself already.
I think the man really needs those drugs.
You should be afraid of yourself!! Obama is not afraid of you, he is just much smarter than you!!!
You have major issues with yourself that you will try and put someone else down to make you feel big. I lift you up to God in prayer.
bush was suppose to be a unifer,but look what happened.
rush is full of hot air,one stick with a pin and he flies into the air and drops down we know not were.
Limbaugh is nothing more than garbage......nothing he says has any worth or value. He's a bitter, very angry person. He's actually laughable! The sad part is, he takes himself seriously.....
scared? why has it not occurred to this prescription drug junkie that he's not worth anyone's time anymore and the only way he gets any attention is by making outrageous comments?
This guy likes to hear himself talk – big ego – sounds like he's still on drugs.
Why would Obama be afraid of an Oxycotin addict who should be in prison!? All this clown is good for is sucking wind, and he sure has had way more than 15 minutes of fame allows.
Obama is right on the mark, the GOP has not learned a thing since their Nov 4 drubbing. If you think some jerk of a clown like Limbaugh is going to get you back to power, then you're on Oxycotin too!
The American people are fed up with the likes of scumbags like him. However, I want this idiot to stay drugged up because the more he opens his big, fat mouth, the deeper the GOP hole gets.
I think it's funny obama is worried about Rush. I would like to address this so called agent of change... I would like obama to answer this directly and maybe explain to us on the Rush show how he spent $120 Million when the world's economy is falling apart...
