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.

Limbaugh is afraid of the truth. We have a true leader in President Obama and Rush is running out of hot air. Limbaugh take an 8 year vacation. One way ticket.
Rush Limbaugh – Powered by Oxycontin and rage.
Why do you say such idiotic things? Is it to get publicity like Ann Coulter. What are we going to hear next, that the Holocaust didn't happen? You thrive on sowing discord and hatred among the people. SHAME on you and all other such Nazi agitators.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I needed a good laugh today!
Rush has fooled some of the people all of the time but right now that the sum of that some is less important than in the past which makes his craving for attention even more bizarre. He doesn't know the difference between being marvelous and marble less and he's definitely lost all of his to drugs and delusion.
Please. President Obama is showing more courage addressing our global challenges than Limbaugh could ever understand from his simple mindset of radio partisanship.
I would advise everyone to please watch President Obama's respectful interview with the Arabian community. It is truly inspiring what our new diplomatic leader says.
why wouldn't he be afraid? i've always been afraid of the anti-christ....
Rush who?
I used to watch Limbaugh in the 80's, back then I thought him a comedian. Today Limbaugh is just sad to listen to. I am a republican and in no way does this man (Limbaugh) represent much of anything I hold dear. This has nothing to do with what Obama is trying to accomplish, it has everything to do with a selfish bigot. Oh yea and I'm white.
Rush must be hitting the happy pills heavily now because some of the things that he says is just way out there.
Rush Limbaugh is [still] a big, fat liar!
Linburger is just an entertainer and everyone knows it. He is just a fat version of Ann Coulter. He knows if he does not do the "windbag" thing, he becomes more insignificant than ever. BUT......to wish our President to fail ???? Our President is attempting to bring relief to this country. How would anybody that totes as much Americanism as Linburger wish for failure? For a man that gets paid to talk, he has nothing intelligent to say.
Limbaugh should go back to what he does best...abusing painkillers.
Who is Rush Limbaugh? UVA '06
Fantasy = (Limbaugh's) EGO
Sorry, sweetie. Nothing to be scared of here.
We should all be afraid of him. He's a frickin lunatic.
How sickening. The only thing that people should fear about Rush Limbaugh is whether or not he's going to sit on them...
Mr. Limbaugh is clearly hallucinating on some kind of drugs. Unfortunately, it has come down to personal attacks from him to anybody who is not a republican.
It is a shame that radio stations keep syndicating his show.
Hmmm.
Rush is a perfect example of why some species should, and do eat their young.
It's so that they won't grow up to infect their colony! Too bad he isn't from a species that would have gotten rid of this rotten apple... Clearly, the fatty foods and, the illegal drugs have destroyed his gray matter!
Walter- It's easy to explain. It's a lie, just like everything else you hear on his show. I just spent 2 minutes doing a Google search to find out that his audience was once 20 million but has been on the decline for years. You should question your sources from time to time.
Rush is so anti-American. No sane minded person would hope their government would fail and call veterans who happen to be democrates or independants fakes. As a retired veteran I am insulted that he is given air time and that people listen and believe this venom. If he wants President Obama to fail, he wants America as a whole to fail. We have people who have lost jobs, who are about to loose jobs and there are so called experts who can't even figure out what to do to get our economy back on track. That is what our government needs to concentrate on, not childish people like Rush. He needs to be quiet and pray that hard working Americans can get back to work.
Rush has a huge following because a lot of people want alternatives to the "news" organizations that skew their presentations to left of center political agendas. His popularity will wane when the mainstream news media stops its bias for liberal values and politics.
He already is on one; its called Palm Beach.
The only thing scared of you, Mr. Limbaugh, is a ham sandwich.
AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH SOCIALIZED HEALTH CARE? IDIOTS. YOU THINK HEALTH CARE IN THIS COUNTRY IS SO GREAT AND IF YOU SOCIALIZE IT, IT'S COMMUNISM? MORONS. TOOLS OF THE RIGHT. FOOLS. GO MOVE TO RUSSIA OR CHINA – YOU WILL LOVE THEIR BRANDS OF CAPITALISM.
