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.

Keep on listening to this clown and the Republican Party will be flushed down the toilet.
My only comment for Rush Limbaugh is that he's unpatriotic. Shouldn't we all support the president? Isn't that what Rush, Fox News and others on the far right preached for eight years? Rush Limbaugh is no better than Benedict Arnold as far as I'm concerned. He is a traitor to his country.
Oh, I wouldn't be so sure of that, Rush. Hello? Rush? Hello? Are you joking again?
Rush Limbaugh, you are a big fool. Our President Barack Obama, who is also your "PRESIDENT" is not scared of you. I am sure he feel sorry for you. We, citizens of United States feel sorry for you.
As from today, any evil you wish the President will go back to you. Any negative requests you wish, I wish all upon you.
I also ask God to take control of you. You are so senseless and childish. You call yourself a christian which you are not, God will definitely take control of you.
This Limbaugh needs to get over himself as he's no longer relevant. His more than 15 minutes of fame are over and he's only a mean-spirited SOB as are most of his proponents. Power mad and pitiful.
Tell Rush to go grab his, uhum...meds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, and SHUT UP!!! You make conservatives look bad Rush!
Rush is the Foghorn Leghorn of talk radio.
Rushs' name should be Richard Cranium.
Now he's enjoying what he perceives, is the limelight. Undermining a need for this country to get back on track. What a lowlife. He's trying to undermine a great Presidents' hope and determination to do so! He's also trying to undermine all of us that stand behind Obama. He's trying to make a bigger name for himself than his well nourished body!
He has the intellegence of a tree frog.
It's like watching Ali vs Holmes. Poor Limbaugh just doesn't realize his time has past. You crooked old hack, it's time to retire.
Delusions of grandeur.
Sorry for the typo.
Sounds like Rush is back to popping pills. That'll make you hallucinate, which is obviously what's happening here.
Would you please stop giving this idiot press! He says whatever he wants and most of the time he doesn't sound like he has a clue what he's talking about. Limbaugh is afraid of his own shadow.
Sorry Rush, NOBODY is afraid of YOU! Who could be afraid of a big mouthed, un-American, racist, drug addict, hypocrite that is hoping for the failure of an American President! Sorry Rush, the polls are closed. We the People reject you and your divisive BS. Now go away!
Once again, Rush Limbaugh proves how delusional his thinking is by opening his mouth. But I guess a radio pulpit is a pretty safe place from which to spout his hate and discontent. I will celebrate the day when he is no longer littering the airwaves...
Yeah, he's scared Rush. Scared to invite you over for dinner because there might be a drug bust in the White House with you there. Or scared you and your Klan buddies might want to have a "talk" with him. After all, we all know from your stint as an NFL commentator how you feel about minorities right?
This is just another dumb redneck looking to extend his career on the president's coat tails. Rush, your fifteen minuted of fame ended about 10 years ago. Go home and give it up. I'm sure there's a pill bottle in the medicine cabinet waiting for you.
nobody's frightened of you, you old windbag
you don't even deserve upper case letters or punctuation
Limbaugh is as absurd as he is irrelevant.
And I'm the pope
This nut needs to be in a mental institution.
Why would anyone be afraid of gasbag Rush Limbaugh? Just give him another pill and send him on his way. What a waste of skin!
The only "fear" Obama has of Limbaugh is the bills he'd rack up from his Oxy habit if a national health plan ever emerged! Who listens to this wacko anymore? Oh yeah ... right wing evangelical nutjobs.
He's afraid you might steal any prescrips in his medicine cabinet.
Joe the Plumber, you got a job to do, please fix Limbaugh filthy mouth, its stincking.
"mr" Limburger ... you are LESS than the toe-jamb under my toenails. Go take some more drugs and leave decent people like PRESIDENT Obama alone.
Rush, take another pill and take a long, long, long nap. You are truly sick.
