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.

rush limbaugh is one of the most irrelevant voices in american politics that i can think of.he is so biased i dont know why anyone who can think for themselves would ever listen to his hateful and negative diatribes.it is well known that he will not accept phonecalls from dissenting opinions.he should follow king george back to texas and let a more intelligent and honest american finally lead this country back from the abyss that the gop has lead us to.it will take a long time to fix what the criminals in the republican party have done to the constitution.bush and his cabinet are war criminals and need to be brought to justice.i can only figure that limbaugh is still high from oxycontin to still beleive bush's crap.
GO RUSH!!! i agree 100% w/ u! Maybe "obama will get impeached"
president BUSH was awesme! we miss you g.w. bush!
we cant wait till ur GONE obama! u reallyy stink!
heehee, i am sure u all crazy people will say i am childish... but i dont care!
Rush, Stop taking the drugs and join Bush and Cheney in retirement. The country is tired of your load mouth spew.
All I gotta say is the Limbaugh and now Al Queda are having trouble finding fault in Obama. So Limbaugh's and Al Queda's recruitment of evil will dwindle. Finally there is a GOD!
Sounds to me like Rush is back on the OxyContin again.
rush who?
Limbaugh is a whacko, which is one of his favorite words to call others. He must really think he is hot stuff because it is totally laughable that Obama is afraid of HIM!!! It is best not to listen to crackpots like Wimbaugh, misspelling fully intended, because it is healthier to listen to people who are healthier than he is. We get rid of bug, we get rid of germs, we take out the trash, right? So it is best to take out the folks like him, who stink up the place. Anyone who would hope the new President would fail in this economy it telling. Rush Head, and his Ditto Head followers are the very one's who brought this entire mess upon us. He is a sordid joke and I totally recommend that you turn him off for your own health. He is nothing but a whack-job. A total waste.
Dream on, buddy.
Why is this Boy given a platform??????????? whaat a hater he is
get a life Limburger. ps one without proscription drugs.
Too funny–Rush rocks.
I just want to stuff a huge Italian sausage in his ugly mouth so he shuts up...do people actually care about what this tool says? Get a life.
It is amazes me that in this day and time that radio still has Rush on the air. The election clearly showed that the majority of Americans are beyond the likes of Rush, Cheney, Jess Jackson, etc. We are tired of the old way and we are a generation that has moved beyond them. It doesn't matter whether they are right wing or left wing. A new generation of voters has stepped up to make this country and the world a better place. We are not just making change with our votes by also by actions. Look around your towns and cities you will see us – we are the ones making packages for soldiers, we are the ones who are helping clean up neighborhoods, we are the ones volunteering all over communities in this great country. We are not going away – and our generation is done with Rush.
Yes, Limppaw, keep up your mindless, drug-induced jibberish. You alone can ensure another trouncing of the Republicans in 2012. You and Palin are the best things that ever happened to the Democratic Party!!! We REALLY appreciate you! Keep up the great work! Flabby moronic dimwit. You and Billo The Clown should get real jobs sometime. Oh wait, there are no jobs, thanks to your repub foolishness.
Thank god for FREEDOM OF SPEECH in the USA.
The minute you stop posting this idiots rants, the minute the world stops caring. Do us all a favor, let him fade away....................
Hopefully, the new President doesn't even know you're alive. I certainly wrote you off as dead about the neck long ago.
CNN you have done it again! I never thought you would stoop this low, putting this mess on the ticker. This nut is an addict, and should be in prison. Anyone who takes him seriously is a nut as well. People need to concentrate on helping each other through this recesseion and not listen to this mess. This man is a total nutcase.
Ruch Limbaugh is an idiot! Why does anyone listen to his anti-American jibberish?
I, too, am scared of Mr. Limbaugh after hearing his inane comments during and after the President's inaugural speech. Insane people left to freely walk our public streets should scare us all. I probably shouldn't have used the word, too as it seems to indicate I believe Mr. Limbaugh's comment that the President is afraid of him. This I doubt, so let me just say I am scared of Mr. Limbaugh and the idea that people think he speaks truth.
How true! Obama is just TRYING TO ISOLATE CONSERVATIVES! Conservitives unity send the liberal messiah back where he came from, Chicago. lol
Mr. Limbaugh, you are an extremist. Beware of extremists. The GOP is too big for someone like you. I did not vote for Barack Obama but now he is our President and I hope he succeeds. That means we ALL succeed. Understand? Get the point? Or is it that your extremism doesn’t allow you to tell right from wrong?
Rush Limbaugh is an idiotic, drug abuser. His brain chemistry has been altered forever and he cannot think rationally. In other words he brain ids fried. An ego maniac. Is he God for the President to frightened of him. Limbaugh just makes noise to get the attention. people who listen to him do not have any better thing to do with their time. john
Rush is a great entertainer and he sure knows how to "play" his audience of morons.
I still find it hard to believe that Limbaugh is actually paid to sit in front of a microphone and spew that garbage he speaks out of his mouth!
Rush, I'm afraid of you and I'm a Marine who served in Vietnam. I'm afraid of your beliefs and the fact that some radio exec's who want to fill their pockets with money continue to allow you to spread your conveluted logic over the airways. as far as I'm concered you genuenly are a threat to our country.
