While obvious for some time, the Politico (Politico) today confirms that President Obama is targeting Rush Limbaugh.
What Obama fails to realize is that this means that Rush begins to set the agenda for the Democrats and in that case they are going to have a tough time of it. Rush has three hours per day on the air to respond so anyone willing to listen to him will hear the truth instead of the Obama and mainstream media’s spin. While good for Rush, letting him set the agenda will be bad for the President.
It should also be noted that:
- Enemies lists are not acceptable. President Nixon would be proud.
- It is now acceptable for the President to target private citizens (well, it was before just ask “Joe the Plumber”). Imagine if it were you next and had no way to respond.
- It is acceptable for the President of the United States to take what a private citizen says out of context and publicize it. Amazing and scary.
