Limbaugh: Obama “Failed” in Copenhagen, Unmasking Weakness and Ego

“Mars-sized ego.” Oh my Lord there are so many places to go with this it is unreal. I will start with a classic. IT TAKES ONE MARS SIZED EGO TO KNOW ANOTHER RUSHPUPPY.

Rush is Mr. Ego himself! And if we had been successful that would have been a lot of money made in the US for hosting the Olympics. Rush seems to be happy about this…I’m so sick of this egomaniac bashing the president. It’s people like Rush who make us look petty and Unamerican. Didn’t hear him when Bush and Cheney were ruining this country!

Rush is just telling the truth, Obama thinks the whole world is in love with him, he’s an idiot. The whole world is laughing at him…Way to go Rush!!

#2 Hey Rushpup atleast he can fit his arse in a chair. Talk about mars sized.
Rushpuppy’s ego is so large it needs its own solar system.

OK, I’ll say it again: I don’t listen to rightwing radio or watch FOX or CNN, so how come I am treated to a daily dose of Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and Palin? How come we hear the opinions of these uneducated, inexperienced in policy making loudmouths, but we don’t ever hear the thoughts of the Noble prize winner on Obama’s own Cabinet, or the musings of Governor Baldacci of Maine?

Amy in Maine: Don’t you realize the reason we hear the opinions of these no nothing loudmouths is because the average American thinks this is entertainment. They would not have the brains to understand educated intelligent people. They would rather listen to nitwits badmouthing our president when all that does is make us look like a nation of idiots.

I meant “know nothing”.

Rush might have an ego…like many people…but he’s not making decisions that effect 300+ millions of people based on his egotism…there’s a difference lib

From the state of Maine’s website: words from Governor John Baldacci:
“Maine is already New England’s leader in developing land-based wind power.
We represent 95 percent of all the wind power in New England so far…
And our offshore wind resource is even greater, with the potential to produce as much electricity as 45 nuclear power plants.Our tidal energy resource is large, strong and predictable, and a pilot project is moving forward near Eastport in Washington County.
The momentum is clearly with us.”
Now you have heard from Limbaugh AND an elected leader with something to say. This is what’s happening in REAL America (take that however you wish.)

Wow, Rush is a true patriot.
There are so many things wrong with this vile and poor excuse for a human, let alone an American.
Besides the incredible hypocrisy he is as divisive as he is mean-spirited, preying on our weaknesses and ignoring the good in us.
But then, maybe there is little good in those who frequent his show.

Oh now you guys are all worried about the money we lost by not getting the Olympics…you leftys are a disease and all hypocrits…you hate Capitalism right…we need to regulate those greedy sons of bitches…you all make me sick your brain is a malfunction waiting to happen…inconsistency in thought, no critical thinking, and you think you are smarter than everybody else…you don’t seem to get that you weren’t educated but indoctrinated…. brainwashed …thats why the facts don’t support your arguements …I hope some of you will see it

Limp-baugh has always been anti-American,what he is too dishonest to admit that the rejection is for his and Bush’s distortion of American.

We survived Bush and Cheney but God only knows how. We are still suffering from their mistakes. And some of you say you hope we survive Obama? Pres. Obama is trying to fix this huge mess…it took 8 years to create. And Rush does do damage by spreading lies which people who do not know anybody believe.

Well at least Obama didn’t get a shoe thrown at him…like you know who.

Philly – WOW Gee where to atart.
1. The Muslims ARE NOT THE PROBLEM!! It is the Radicals fringe/fanatics that are the problem.
2. The Economic mes began under Bush and Obama was given mop up duty.
3. If all these people listening toRushpuppy are not following him why are so many politicians My own Congressman Phil “Spineless” Gingrey crawling all over themselves to say what he wants them to say and apologizing when they offend the great Messiah Rush. (HA goes both ways bub!) Respecting other points of view is a two way street. When has Rushpuppy ever listened to anyone but himself? I have listened to Sean Hannity and while I do not agree with the man He does make some interesting points. I doubt Rushpup could say the same thing.
4. I am not even gonna address the school issue. rediculous.

If Obama would stop telling the world that America was a bad place until he”Obama” took over, the world would have more respect for us. Who has the ego here? I say, Obama.

I love it. The real story here is BO and Michelle humiliated themselves on the world stage begging to have the Olypics in Chicago. Now let’s turn the tables and blame things on Rush because he realizes what has happened and calls them out. Well I guess if you are not going to blame the IOC for being racists the next best thing is to blame it on Rush. You guys are so tired

Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t fault a president from trying to help with this kind of thing, but there are so, so many other priorities that should be taken care of first. Obama spent a lot of time and money on this with no positive result, but only gave our leading military official only about a half hour this morning to talk about Afghanistan. There’s a health care debate in Congress that will impact a huge portion of our economy. We have Iran potentially making a nuclear bomb and one out of ten Americans are unemployed. This was not the time to make a quick jaunt to Europe for a sales pitch. I don’t agree with our current president’s position on a lot of issues, but we needed him here more than in Denmark talking about the Olympics.

Whoever is taking this Opportunity to use us losing the Olympics to swipe cheap political shots at the President is truly Un-American. Its not about the President its about us Americans hosting the Olympics and the greatness it would of had on our Economy! But President Obama and First lady you tried and like mom always told me you cant knock someone down for trying!

Sorry Joe someone has to try to undo all the damage dome by Cheney and the thugs. You do not get anywhere by not ttalking to someone. Good Lord just ask Jon and Kate. Heck I bet if you could get them both in the same room without cameras for a few minutes all this would be done with. Same thing with Iran eatl. Keep talking and keep a line of communication open at all times. Makes sense to me.

wow…the hatred for Rush! Are u trying to say ALL of his many listeners are idiots? I have heard a few libs call in!
Obama is the worst president ever! He is trying to destroy the free market. Look at all this union payback he’s been doing. This nationalhealthcare fiasco while be great for 2009,2010&2012. Obama said look at the people I surround myself with…and we have and we do not like it. U know I could go on & on…

DEAR IOC:
Just a short note of sincere appreciation for denying the top-to-bottom corruption of Daley, Obama and Company here in Chicago.
The Olympics were always nothing more than a cynical ploy by Daley to divert attention from his corrupt administration while he and his cronies continue to steal us blind.
This is an EPIC failure for Daley and Obama, and a GREAT day for Chicago and America. Again, thank you.
Sincerely,
The citizens of Chicago.

Misty: you poor soul, if he’s not your president, then you must not be an American, listen to yourself. Maybe you should move back to your oen country wherever that is, and don’t say it’s America, sence he’s not your President.

Amy in Maine said: “Don’t you realize the reason we hear the opinions of these no nothing loudmouths is because the average American thinks this is entertainment. They would not have the brains to understand educated intelligent people. They would rather listen to nitwits badmouthing our president when all that does is make us look like a nation of idiots.”
Hey Amy, IT IS ENTERTAINMENT. By Rush’s own admittance, he is an ENTERTAINER.
Yeah. What a much better world we would be if we were all as brilliant as Amy from Maine.
Since his election, the Commander in Chief has met with the IOC as many times as he has his generals- and we were the first city ousted. Everyday, a little bit more, Obama is exposed as a fraud, and that gives me hope.
Somewhere in Kenya, a Village is missing it’s idiot.

Rush does have an ego, but at least he admits it.

Ever wonder why some people like me listen to Rush Limbaugh ? I listen to him because of the bs that comes from his mouth knowing fully well he has no degree from any college giving him authority in what ever he says. Oh mine, may be in broadcast journalism may be .Can some one ask this man to show the media any degree from any school please.This way we can all accept his lectures?

I guess President Palin won’t be able to light the torch in Chicago now.

GOTTA LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take that slap in the face by the Olympic committee!!!
Stay home, quit campaigning and wasting tax payer money and do what you were hired to do!!!!!!

Once again, Rush joins the ‘blame America first’ crowd. His glee in our failure is umpatriotic and un-American. He would rather take pot shots at the President than have the Olympics in the USA. Hey Rush, if you hate America so much, why don’t you move to Rio! You can get all the drugs you want there.

At least he tried to put our AMERICA on the map. How about you? What have you done, other than wishing for him to fail ? You should be ashame of yourselves by calling yourself American ? Pack your bags !!

Rush and Obama have giant egos, both of them. We don’t have to listen to Rush but we do Obama. I think he should take his own advice(increasing the school day…no fancy summer camps) and stick to the business he was elected to do. The talks shows and trips with Oprah my opinion of him decreases with each appearance. Also is BI/RACIAL it seems he only aknowledges one race. My own children have mixed parentage and they are just flat out AMERICANS. Enough of the HYPE.

I see for explanations for Obama going.
1. He felt desperate for a political victory.
2. He and his administration is totally incompetent to have realized the risk was hugely greater than the rewards of success.
3. The claims of political payoffs are true and compelling.
4. His huge ego blinded him to the obvious likely outcome. He believes his own propaganda.
Rush is probably right…unless all four were in play.

The US media has helped boost Obama’s
ego and thus need to share the blame
for him thinking the world is in love with him.
You Dems own this quixotic mess fair and square.

Rush loves the “smell of schadenfreude in the morning” so do I.

Whoever advised Obama to go to Copenhagen is an idiot. Axelrod is a one trick pony. Obama needs a new adviser.

It is always amazing to me that those that Hate Rush, Beck, etc. KNOW so much about them… But of course “I NEVER WATCH THEM” Uh Huh Sure.
If all the people who do listen to them, followed them in Lockstep,as you seem to believe, there would have been no doubt that a Tree Stump could have won the last Election if it had a big R painted on it.
If I am remembering correctly, Chicago has already spent several millions of dollars trying to get the 2016 Olympics.. Money spent with as much expectation of getting that money returned as I have of winning the Power Ball……..(I don’t spend money on the Lotto.. for that very reason…no reasonable expectation of any return.)
I had absolutely no problem with President Obama going to Copenhagen except for the (what was it…?) million or more spent on a less than a 24hour hour trip…. Seems just a little extravagant to me..
OH and before I close… Which of you would like to compare Mr Rush with Mr Olberman…… which is the bigger idiot…
Mike

I think BO is the most indecisive and divisive president in this nations history.
By just goading his minions into unleashing the racist card, for nothing more than merely opposing him, BO is setting race relations back 50 years. If the new rule is by not liking a Black president’s policies, one is to be branded a racist, who in the hell wants a president that cannot be criticized for any reason based only on his skin color.
I predict that thanks to BO, Americans will never again even consider electing another Black as president.

Obama has failed at everything so far.
He is failing in Copenhagen while his soldiers are dying in Afghanistan.In this last week 43 soldiers died a rate of death surpassing Iraq!
The Saturn plant just closed down even though we are supposed to have a new GM.
The recession has ended and the depression is starting. Obama lies every day that we have hit bottom when in reality he has created a 20 yesr depressionary cycle.
the Olympic Failure is the official beginning of the end for Obama. He is finished. Now we have to do everything e can to stop him as much as possible from his destruction of the American way of life.
Just as Hitler’s commanders knew the war had been lost the first year it started, it took almost four more years to get rid of him and millions killed and unimaginable suffering. Obama has lost but he will destroy as much as he can before he leaves office if he makes it in order to teach Americans a lesson. He will leave by destroying everything behind him just as Sadam Hussein did!

Rush has 300 million followers? Awesome!

I am not sure that Chicago Tax Payers could have afforded the Olympics. Other contending Countries had their respective Federal Government behind them financially. This is why Chicago lost.
What the President should have done was to diverted a couple billion out of the stimulus package to assure the IOC that the Olympics would have been successful.

I am a Latent Limbaugh Listener. I do not proclaim it loudly as he is mistakely viewed as controversial. Many of the quotes that appear in the liberal media are often sarcarsm taken out of context. Liberal media has a vested interest in giving their faithful the edited versions of Rush. In this manner people do not have to actually listen to him to “know” he is just crazy.
What Americans wanted and still do is to have an administration that has their interest in mind. This might be called a representative government. I believe this is what people thought BO was when he was elected. BO is actually more of an authoritarian that people feared Bush was.
The passage of the patriot act caused me to question what kind of country the USA has become. That Obama is not allowing the provisions to be sunsetted at the end of this year still causes me concern.
I was greatly heartened that the more oppressive legislation has not been a slam dunk. This implies that the citizens of our country still have a voice, I cynically believed those days were gone.
I still can’t tell if Obama’s apparent incompetence is a result of his ideology or that he did not actually expect to win. Clinton turned out to be a better president than Bush Senior, but only after seeing the light in 1994. However Clinton was a shrewder politician, I do not think Obama’s ego will allow him to change course.

All the Liberal hypocrites who forget the eight years of vile, disgusting deeply personal insults against a Republican president can take a hike…to Canada. And remember, when the Right regains power, we will use EVERY tactic the Democrat party is using now. Reconciliation to ram OUR agenda through, and criminal investigations against all former Democrat administrations and lawmakers for crimes against our country. Get ready to reap what you sow. You started it, get ready to live it.

It’s very interesting reading the comments here, and other places. How can so many people see and hear things so differently. All the libs who are commenting here, I bet have never listened to Rush. I’ve been listening to Rush for 15 years. After that long you get to know someone. Rush is a very passionate patriot who loves this country, and he is not egotistic. As a matter of fact he is a very generous and humble man. He’s also very quick and intelligent. He’s not the only one who sees the direction Obama is taking the country. There’s millions of us who think instead of feel, and we all know for ourselves that everything Obama does is not the American way. It’s not so much Obama who is destroying our country, it’s all the non-thinkers who support him who don’t understand what it is that has made America the greatest place on earth.
God Bless America and my God continue to loan Rush His talent.

Imagine Limbaugh discussing ego and failure. I guess anything is possible.

Rush is an entertainer not the leader of a country.get a grip!

It sound like Limbaugh been to the psychiatrist again… The fact is Mr. Limbaugh can face the truth. President Obama is a winner. He is President of greatest country in the world.
We Americans can pick ourselves up and dust of the dirt off, and get back in the game. Thank you Mr. President for going to bat for the grand U.S.A. everyday. You inspire us Americans to take our share of gold at the games and in the economy.
We will leave the whining for the losers of the last election and move on to what matters most to Americans – your success in moving America forward with prosperity, health and security.

Let see the facts :
US received 8 times the Olympic games
Japan received 2 times the Olympic games
Spain received one time the Olympic games
Brazil and the whole South America NEVER !
It was the third straight time that Brazil made an attempt to get the Olympic games;
They put 4 times more money on the table to renew the city and change people’s life 15 billions USD to 4 billions for Chicago.
In 2016 Brazil will be the 5th economic power behind US, Japan, China, Germany and before France.
Rio got it just because of the Olympics games standards. Because it had to.
Now think : Copacabana beach is world largest beach Rolling stones copacabana concert attracted
It will be the biggest Sport Holidays in the history and NBC CBS etc.. will not lose one dime as it is the same time zone and if US companies are competitive they could go after the Brazilian market since they organized 8 times the Olympic Games ! I wonder where is the loss in Mr Limbaugh.

Rod Stewart concert on Copacabana beach brought 3.5 millions people ! and have you haerd about Rio Carnival ? Who would not think to that when casting its ballot ? It was a chance that Chicago was a finalist. US has lot of work to do before getting again the Olympics I’m not sure than it can get them before Africa get them and probably Paris/ France which invented the modern Olympic Games and got them the last time in 1924 …

I suppose the rub is that Barack and Michelle and Oprah don’t get everything they want. Did the IOC not realize who these three are? I mean, really. Too bad the Chicago Machine was not able to rig the vote. It’s always worked before. Why not now? Try cleaning up the crime in Chicago. Fix your miserable education system. Why would the International Olympic Committee even consider Chicago?

I am right of center, but I do not share Mr. Limbaugh’s sentiments. I am also a Chicagoan who was slightly relived because I did fear that it would increase my taxes and only Daley’s cronies would benefit at my expense. I’m sick and tired of every right-winger spewing stuff like this, which then gets picked up by the loony left-wingers who use it like heat-seeking missles to prove how nuts our party is. Hey political commentators on BOTH sides: PUT A SOCK IN IT ALREADY! You don’t represent where most of the country falls on this issue, so stop embarrassing us!

Why did no one mention that the same people that endorsed and donated millions of dollars to Obama’s campaign, are the same people who stood to gain by being a part of the Chicago2016 Committee. Why is it everyone noticed Halliburton to Bush, but let Obama slide. Also, America was not going to make a lot of money from the Olympics, Chicago and Chicago2016 Committee, the property owners, were the ones that would make the billions. What a return of your investment for buying an election.

Yes, Obama made an *** of himself. But it is nothing to gloat about. It hurts our country when a president is cut down to size by foreign interests. I am sorry it happened, and can only wish something far worse does not happen because our president is perceived as an egotistic buffoon by the rest of the world. There is nothing to laugh at or cheer about in this inglorious episode.

Rush has it RIGHT!!! WE don’t need a President out there putting America down. WE need a President that can bring back the spirit of America in every citizen and realizes that jobs come first and talking down America does not create JOBS!!! Thats what Rush is talking!!! Our Security and our economy come before any one’s ego!!!

“there are probably 300 million or more of his followers willing to do what ever Rush says to do. That is dangerous.”
Are you kidding?!
How many “dangerous” “orders” has Rush given out in the 20 years or so, that his alleged followers have gone out to carry out?!
And how badly does that compare to the hundreds of millions of people willing to carry out — blindly!! — the (very real) orders of Barack Obama, which include federal officers, government bureaucrats, special czars, and so on, not to mention kindergarten teachers teaching kids to sing odes to the One…
How about Obama’s (or Holder’s) justice department?!
Oh, that’s true. You’re right. THEY are only trying to act against the inordinately “dangerous” followers (witness the shocking tea parties and all the violence THEY endangered!!) of Rush Limbaugh…

The first tragedy in Obama’s junket to lobby for the Olympics is the damage done to our country from the exposure of his team’s incompetence. Their egos blurred the reality that we were in 4′th place. Such a miscalculation only invites scorn and opportunism.
The greater tragedy is that he could have invested the time in studying the request from the field commander in Afghanistan for more troops. Instead Obama flew off to Europe while ordering Gen. McChrystal not to submit his official analysis and request.
General/Secy of State Powell had it right, in the absence of overwhelming evidence to the contrary, assume that the troops in the field are right and headquarters staff is wrong. Instead, Obama wants to make his decision on political needs and then get a report supporting his decision. Shades of McNamara.

Rush certainly has an ego. But so what? He also has a keen sense for the absurd and hypocritical; there’s plenty of that these days in Washington. And that’s what makes him so entertaining. He’s entertaining, but he’s also insightful, politically astute, and brings context to current events.
To those of you who don’t like him: Tough. Don’t listen to him.
