>>How many times does Limbaugh, have to be told that President Obama does NOT SUPPORT the re-installation of the old "Fairness Doctrine"?<<

He can be told until the cows come home, but that isn't and never was the point.  Without challenging the Democrat Party (his endearing term for them, mostly because it ticks them off), Rush has no show.  Calling a Democratic president a liar is just another notch in his belt.  Look at how long Rush blamed Clinton for everything that was wrong with America, years after Clinton left the WH, and he still brings up Clinton as his favorite scapegoat-of-the-moment whenever he has a chance.  That's what he does.  The minute he decides to side with the "enemy," he's finished, and he knows it.

>>Limbaugh ought to learn to shut to his mouth for once and give the man (President Obama) a chance to do his job, the job WE elected him to do.<<

Not a chance in the world.  RL has already stated, multiple times, that he wants Obama to fail.  He's playing it with deadly aim right at his conservative base, who go hog-wild over exactly this sort of thing.

Let's please remember something:  Rush is, first, last and every place in-between, an entertainer.  He's not a news reporter.  He's not a political scientist.  He's a re-purposed disk-jockey, who has opinions just like everyone else and uses them to entertain (although he used to be a lot better at it, IMO)...and I don't think the GOP sees, at the moment, the danger they put themselves in as a force in politics when an entertainer is the best person they can find to energize their base.
