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.

He is obviously an idiot, who needs help mentally and yet people still give him attention...People – stop feeding this attention starved sicko...He has clearly stated that he wants President Obama to fail and to me that is directly refering to us failing as a nation. To all of the haters out there against President Obama, we need to recover from this mess we are in regardless of who's in charge and this type of stuff is like someone going to a cancer ward in a hospital and laughing saying "I hope you fail" to the doctor who is giving his best effort to make things right with this deathly disease....
May God have mercy on his soul....
So limbaugh is off his meds again
Nobama is the "great unifier". What a joke. He's the great empty suit, the self-important whiner who can't even take reporters' questions. It doesn't matter that Nobama doesn't listen to Rush, he doesn't have to. It's enough that someone is daring to criticize the Great One. He's sickening.
And if anyone has a question about where the media stands, check out the coverage. If Bush had done the same things Nobama did, such as naming a Treasury Secretary who doesn't even pay his taxes (and many other things), the media would be reporting A NEW ADMINISTRATION IN CRISIS. But it's Barry, so they barely find anything wrong. Nobama would have to strangle a bunny rabbit on "The View" for there to be any criticism of him.
Rush the Mighty Wind Bag of the South is an IDIOT.
I really don't think the White House should waste precious time responding to drug addict Limbaugh. This helps him, not the party.
I hope the president and his cabinet will concentrate on the nations's business and let limp baugh continue to slowly disappear from the radar screen. That small group of people that follow him are not enough to worry about.
Rush bimbo...what a moron!!
Limbaugh is obviously delusional. It's entertaining that he actually spouts this egotistical babel after the whooping his party just took.
This country is in a very bad position on many levels and all Limbaugh can do is try and tear the person down who was elected to lead us. Sad, it really is.
We're all scared of you, Rush....
you pill popping lunatic.
He must be poppin those pain pills again! Looks like a return to the rehab center is in order...
Limbaugh is not intelligent nor is he a true american
Better lay off the drugs Rush. As for that bipartisanship, I think he was talking about Americans... not you.
This boy should be in behavioral modification therapy somewhere with a dose of thorazine ordered as a prn. I believe he will then be in heaven.
I think it's great that we have people in this country that are so partisan, they will hope for failure. It doesn't say much about Limbaugh and his listeners as Americans. While I am an Obama supporter, I would have been behind John McCain had he won the election. This man and his kind disgust me.
He must be on drugs again or just desperate for attention. No one is afraid of you, fatty. You have no power to do anything except complain.
You mean Rush has a problem with being irrelevant and marginalized??? What a shocker.
Wow....he needs serious help.
Today a friend of mine sent me a very recent photo of Rush Limbaugh and so I thought I would share it with you folks at CNN. Unfortunately when my wife saw the photo she flushed it down the toilet were sane people usually dispose of this "EXCREMENT"
What a buffoon! Like anyone with half a brain listens to him anyway. Whatever, Rush...
Quite the opposite is true. It's obvious that Limbaugh is scared of Obama. Republican ideals are on the decline, and Limbaugh sees his power and influence waning and Obama's and the Democrats' growing. If it continues, Limbaugh may continue lose popularity and listener-ship. If so, his show might begin to be canceled by stations, and his career might be in jeopardy. This is a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
No Rush, just nobody cares about you any more...
Limbaugh is an IDIOIT....His lack of education keeps shining through
Rush wants President Obama to fail, if Obama fails this Country fails....How can anyone who says they are a true patriot wish that on his fellow men, women and children of this country and for generations to come .............someone needs to put a plug in his pie hole
stupid
LIMBAUGH IS A LOUD MOUTH AND A SORE LOSER. I DON"T
THINK THAT OBAMA CAN DO ANY WORSE THEN GEORGE
BUSH DID. WHAT GOOD DID HE DO FOR US. THIS COUNTRY IS IN A MESS THANKS TO HIM. AT LEAST GIVE THE NEW PRESIDENT
A CHANCE. I THINK IT IS VERY UNAMERICAN TO SAY THE THINGS HE SAYS.
Calm down – takes some of your dope – and SHUT YOUR MOUTH! You are obscene and obnoxious and are out there just to make the news.
