Start with his premise. All of the supposed theories of the spending bill's potential as laid out by Obama already don't matter... because he rejects the premise from the start that this spending on top of borrowing money we don't have is not the way to economic success.
Rush needs to take a Macroeconomics course.

The gauntlet has been thrown down... lol. Rush offers Obama a real 1 on 1 debate... no script, no teleprompters, no media minions fronting for Obama. After all, this is what the Left says they wanted on the airwaives, right? More views from both sides "to be fair"... so why not use the stage of the most listened to radio show in the US? He even offered his private jet to pick up Obama and take him back so the taxpayers wouldn't have to foot the bill.

Oh lord. Why doesn't he run for office in 2012 if he wants to debate? I don't care who the President is, they should never feel the need to respond to a challenge from some guy on the radio. And yes, I'd say the same if it was Keith Olbermann challenging George Bush to a mud-wrestling match.

I hope the President ignores this retarded request completely.
The17sss you would be saying the same thing if it was some Liberal talking head challenging Bush. Enough with the dick measuring bull here.
We all know Obama would school his ass anyway and Rush would be forced to call him an n-word.

Why should Obama lower himself down to debate a talk show host? Rush isn't running for president FFS...

LOL... dude, Obama sans teleprompter can't school anyone.
Look, it WOULD be different with Bush because Bush did not look for polling numbers of high negatives on prominent liberal voices and design smear campaigns months in advance, like we just learned Obama and his team has done. Bush never called any liberal talkshow hosts or media personnel out by name and instructed the Democrats and America to stop listening to them if they want to get things done, as Obama has. Bush never went on the attack to destroy character to a media persona from within the white house, like we are seeing now. He is being attacked, and is saying OK, then lets talk.
They want to play by the Saul Alinsky rule for radicals #13 with Rush:
quote:
The opposition must be singled out as the target and 'frozen.' When your 'freeze the target,' you disregard these [rational but distracting] arguments and carry out your attack.... One acts decisively only in the conviction that all the angles are on one side and all the devils on the other.
This is the rationale for the offer... nicely articulated I should add:
quote:
They are raising my profile as a leader of the party and I'm saying, "Okay, fine, let's debate here."
Now, you liberals... are going to have to understand something. You made me the leader. You got what you wanted. Now, stop whining. You people won. You people should finally be happy, sitting on top of the world. I want Obama to debate me on the radio. That's my offer. It's not a negotiation. I mean you ought to lap this up. You ought to think that Obama could wipe the floor with me. He's so good. He's so authentic. He is the best communicator we've ever had. I don't know what you libs are afraid of.
By the way, this is a perfect example of an open public debate without the government mandating it. You liberals want that kind of debate on radio. You say you can't get your point of view heard on radio because conservatives dominate, look at my magnificence here, munificence, look at my grace. I am offering the leader of your party and of this country a chance to get on radio where liberals simply can't seem to make it work. You liberals want this kind of debate on radio, you do. You advocate for the Fairness Doctrine. You have claimed I'm the leader of the opposition. I have made a public offer to debate the president on these airwaves. I do so without the government mandating it. You see how fair I am? I myself, Rush Limbaugh, the leader, offering the largest radio audience in the country to a Democrat who happens to be the president of the United States, and this is happening without any legislation on minority ownership rules or local content, or even the Fairness Doctrine.
You see, to my good friends the liberals, I am acceding to all of your desires in this.
You can come here and defend your administration, and you can kill two birds with one stone: diversity in the media and bipartisanship. You're the leader of your party. You're the president. I'm the leader of your opposition, according to your flunkies. Nothing complicated here.
Plus this:
quote:
You tell me how wrong I am and you can convince the rest of the Americans that don't agree with you how wrong we all are. You're a smart guy, Mr. President. You don't need these hacks to front for you. You've debated the best! You've debated Hillary Clinton. You've debated John Edwards. You've debated Joe Biden. You've debated Dennis Kucinich. You've debated the best out there. You are one of the most gifted public speakers of our age. I would think, Mr. President, you would jump at this opportunity. Don't send lightweights like Begala and Carville to do your bidding -- and forget about the ballerina, Emanuel. He's got things to do in his office. These people, compared to you, Mr. President, are rhetorical chum.
I would rather have an intelligent, open discussion with you where you lay out your philosophy and policies and I lay out mine -- and we can question each other, in a real debate.

if the Democrats want to paint the picture that Rush is the "leader of the Republican party", why wouldn't the leader of the Democrat party want dialogue?
if the Donks want to play this game with Rush, and they honestly believe Rush is as doltish and dim-witted as they demonize him as, why wouldn't they want to call Rush's bluff on it?

You're painting it yourselves. I think we're all just really amused and feel pity at the same time.

So who is the leader of the Republican Party because apparently, Michael Steele isn't.

You're right The17sss.
Bush didn't attack anyone in particular (or maybe he did, it probably went unoticed in contrast to the 8 billion other ups he performed), but he didn't have to. He dissed every single American with any speck of intelligence every single day by opening his mouth.
This is all pretty funny. Rush doesn't understand what it means to be classy, nor does he respect the position of the presidency so long as one of his cronies isn't in power.
He's a hypocrite of the highest order, and if he showed Obama even 1% of the love he showed Bush he'd at least have the decency to not make outrageous proposals. It will be fun to watch when Rush calls Obama a "gutless coward" when Obama doesn't acknowledge this request.
You go Rush. The heart-attack you've been after for years is just around the corner if you keep this tirade up :rolleyes:

wrong, Clovis. >LINK< this whole Rush broohaha was organized and orchestrated by Donkey Party operatives in the media and Obama's Chief of Staff. this is old school politics of destruction in an attempt of distraction.
you gotta keep up with us here Clovis. politics happens at lightspeed these days. this isn't a sub-forum about chopping Armin pics or some kid's latest dream about ass-raping someones pregnant grandmother.
