Yep...Rush Limbaugh.

http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_030409/content/01125106.guest.html

Rush does make a good point, though...since so many on the Left think he's now the leader of the party, what better way for Obama to prove he really wants to be bipartisan than speaking with him?

I'm not holding my breath though since Obama has nothing to gain and a lot to lose by accepting this. But that should at least expose him for being a chickenshit who doesn't want to come out of his comfort zone:

Rush also said he'd pay for everything and this wouldn't cost tax payers one cent: he'd send a private jet to pick up Obama and his staff, then put them up at whatever NYC hotel they wanted.


But I have an idea. If these guys are so impressed with themselves, and if they are so sure of their correctness, why doesn't President Obama come on my show? We will do a one-on-one debate of ideas and policies. Now, his people in this Politico story, it's on the record. They're claiming they wanted me all along. They wanted me to be the focus of attention. So let's have the debate! I am offering President Obama to come on this program -- without staffers, without a TelePrompTer, without note cards -- to debate me on the issues. Let's talk about free markets versus government control. Let's talk about nationalizing health care and raising taxes on small business.

Let's talk about the New Deal versus Reaganomics. Let's talk about closing Guantanamo Bay, and let's talk about sending $900 million to Hamas. Let's talk about illegal immigration and the lawlessness on the borders. Let's talk about massive deficits and the destroying of opportunities of future generations. Let's talk about ACORN, community agitators, and the unions that represent the government employees which pour millions of dollars into your campaign, President Obama. Let's talk about your elimination of school choice for minority students in the District of Columbia. Let's talk about your efforts to further reduce domestic drilling and refining of oil. Let's talk about your stock market. By the way, Mr. President, I want to help. Yesterday you said you looked at the stock market as no different than a tracking poll that goes up and down.

There's no "up and down" here. We have a plunge. The president yesterday suggested "we're getting to the point where profits and earnings ratios are approaching that point where you want to invest." Uh, Mr. President? There is no "profits and earnings" ratio. It's "price and earnings" ratio. He's the president of the United States. He doesn't know anything about the stock market. He's admitted it before. Let's talk about it anyway. You want to maintain it's a tracking poll? I'd love to talk to you about that. Let's talk about all of these things, Mr. President. Let's go ahead and have a debate on this show. No limits. Now that your handlers are praising themselves for promoting me as the head of a political party -- they think that's a great thing -- then it should be a no-brainer for you to further advance this strategy by debating me on the issues and on the merits, and wipe me out once and for all!

Rush is no dummy. His job as an entertainer is to get viewers to listen to the commercials and stay on for his show.

He knows how to fire up his listeners.

GTC08, Everyone knows there will be no debate.

It's just a shock value statement to keep people tuned in. Nothing more, nothing less.

Neither of you two answered my question.

If Rush really has become the leader of the Republican party, why doesn't Obama want to talk to him?

At least you have good taste in music, Funk.

I haven't listened to that Gangstarr album in a while. Alongwaytogo has one of the coolest beats of any hip hop song ever...

Hmmm...let's see. The leader of the free world is a chicken shit if he doesn't debate a drug-addled AM radio gasbag with a following of knuckle-dragging mouth-breathers?

Yeah, that makes sense.

Why would the President agree to debate a radio talk-show host? When has any President ever done such a thing?

And one last rhetorical question...is Rush Limbaugh a moron?

Is it too late for Keith Olberman vs. George W. Bush?

What would be cool is Hartman, Olberman or Maddow vs Rush or Hannity. I'll PAY to watch that. Can't throw OReilly into the mix, he's toned down alot.

No, the President doing things that have never been done before!

BTW, Gibbs and Obama's peeps sure seem to care, as they are calling out Rush, Santelli, Cramer, whoever opposes him. When't that happened before?
"Everyone needs to support our president."
Funny, I was taught that as a kid. I do, I hope he does the right things to fix our country, even if I don't agree with what he's doing.

Where was the Bush support? Hypocrites, he was blasted all the time, and it was just accepted. Anyone calls out Obama and it's a bullet point on your favorite news site.
