Obama's Limbaugh Strategy Will Fail

Sad but telling and not altogether unexpected that a presidency allegedly about unity and the future is revealing itself to be about nothing more than creating divisions and power in the end. This strategy won't just fail, it'll backfire on Obama. He didn't have a united opposition. Now he will and ultimately it isn't about Rush.

Democrats are engaging in a concerted campaign to link the national Republican Party to conservative talk-radio show host Rush Limbaugh, an effort that will ramp up over the next few days in the form of another round of television ads and an increased rhetorical focus on the issue from Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine, according to sources familiar with the plans.

Any new attention Limbaugh gets fromthis won't hurt him as much as it will define and hurt liberalism in America. He isn't an unlikeable sort. And he's perfectly capable of standing up for himself.

The American people don't like witch hunts. They don't like political correctness and nanny states, which are Rush's real opponents, not Obama. Team Zero is miscalculating in a great many ways these days. Big surprise.

"He isn't an unlikeable sort."
ROFLMAO.

Could you wingnuts become even more ridiculous? Every day you manage to surprise me with an affirmative Yes we can!
Please, PLEASE continue to rally around that angry, Viagra-popping, opiate-abusing, multiple-divorcing larda$$. You've got Obama right where you want him!

Oh yeah, for you to be pointing to a falling DJIA as a sign that Obama's economic policies are failing shows how little you know about the economy. It's not a score card, dummies! The Bush hangover will last at least another year as the travesty of the last 8 years continues to be digested.

Obama's Limbaugh policy is just another distraction from the issues that Americans really care about and Obama doesn't want to discuss ;)

"It's not a score card, dummies!"

I'm keeping score with a 401k. It's funny, becuase there is this strange cuase and effect taking place...
dow goes lower, 401 moves lower at the same pace.

please space cat, what are you investing in?

By summer Zero will be in so much trouble and he is running out fast of people to blame. In the meantime Rush's audience is growing as well as Hannity's and Beck's. He still is in campaign mode. Reality is about to hit his voters. Specially the one's who are waiting for free mortgage,free gas etc. Wait till they figure out they are getting 13 bucks a week and taxable in 2010. Wait till they figure they have to work if they want to get the 13 bucks (8 in 2010). These are the same bunch that came out to elect him and sit at home . Can't wait to see these people realize they are screwed.

how are the libtards dealing with the economic downturn?
looks like sarah silverman is about to go John Gault.

"The economic downturn is jeopardizing "The Sarah Silverman Program," one of Comedy Central's signature series.

The show's executive producers -- Silverman, Dan Sterling and Rob Schrab -- have threatened to quit after the cable network told them the budget for their series would be slashed by more than 20%."

I'm sure she was just disappointed that she would fall below 250k a year, and not be able to pay her full share of taxes.

Where's that, hanging over a mirror doing some lines with his bro's?

"What you're now seeing is ... profit and earning ratios are starting to get to the point where buying stocks is a potentially good deal if you've got a long-term perspective on it," the president said on a day that trading continued to hover under 7,000.

sorry spacecat, but the messiah apparently is bullish on the p/e ratios.

What does that say about his economic theory?

In the 90's, a price to earning ratio of 20 for a blue chip was the standard. (Which begs the question:
does obama even know that it is 'price', not profit? probably not.)

let's take a gander at the current PE ratios, that obama finds encouraging.

3M? 8.6
bank of america? 7.04
boeing? 8.0
catterpillar? 4.03
GE? 3.98
J&J? 10.49.
merck? 6.41.

If I were confident in Obama, I'd be scooping up these stocks. The hesitancy that you are seeing suggests a long term lack of faith in his policies. He is very correct in pointing to the fact that these prices are historic lows, relative to revenue, but there isn't a person out there who has faith that the compnaies will be allowed to return to the glory days of PE's in the 20's. The market perception is that anyone who does perform in the is tight market, is going to be the first to pay tribute to the new socialist order.

no one knows what the new PE standard will be set at, largely by govt policy, and no one is going to buy.

yes, bush lost the first 20-30% off the market peak, but obama is keeping the same pace. It is a simple task to flush away the first 20%, but it takes some special talent to blow out the next 20% who held more faith in the economy.

The market selloff since obama's policies have become clearer?
The greedy got out in the first flush under bush. Now obama is killing off the people who believed in him.

"--- These are the same bunch that came out to elect him and sit at home ---"

Ya know folks...

Obama is just a fancy hood ornament.

The folks who are REALLY jacking up the economy are the 500+ crooks (both Dems and RINO GOP'ers) in that big domed building on Capitol Hill.

If the voters had any clue whatsoever, there'd be a reckoning in 2010 and perhaps in 2012 as well.

But, I just don't see it happening now. The average schlep in this increasingly pathetic country seems to be quite content with whatever bit of "bread and circuses" the Congress and the smiling Bozo they have in the White House dishes out to them.

I'm not buying any stock. I have no faith in Obama, or in his socialistic policies. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of the "stimulus" bill doesn't even come into play until 2010, so my take is that Obama and his team are hell bent to destroy the economy. They apparently seek to build an economy based on socialism, even though that has failed miserably every time it has been tried.

I'm buying land, myself. And natural resources. At some point in the future, these things will have value as the dollar sinks toward nothingness.

i'm watching the suicide rates...
they were climbing under bush, and are getting set to absolutely explode under obama.

It is one of several methods for scoring obama at home, but it matches the libs Iraq scorecard for Iraq:
coast and US dead.

Thus far obama has wiped out 3 trillion from 401ks, and I have a feeling that given our aging, expecting to retire, population the 'hope' might just not be there.

hmmm...he's already blown 4 times as much money spent on the Iraq War, six years v. two months...
I have no doubt that the 'US casualities', in suicides beyond the current existing rates, are going to tally 10 times the casualites of Iraq in half the amount of time.
