Rush Limbaugh Calls Obama 'Jackass' Again (AUDIO)

Rush Limbaugh called President Obama a "jackass" on his radio show on Tuesday in response to the debt ceiling agreement reached in Washington.

Limbaugh uttered his protestations while replaying the speech that Obama delivered about the debt ceiling earlier that day. In response to Obama's call for "a balanced approach" to cutting the deficit, Limbaugh exclaimed, "Jackass!" He immediately added, "Balance my ass."

Limbaugh also suggested that Obama had "extra flour in his hair today" when Obama asked for the cooperation of both parties on a larger plan to cut the deficit. He was echoing an earlier reference he made last week in which he alleged that Obama put flour in his hair to make it merely look gray.

Limbaugh answered, "Get a husband!" when Obama asked in his speech, "What are we gonna do for the single mom who's seen her hours cut back at the hospital?"

This is not the first time Limbaugh has called the president a "jackass." Last October, the radio host called Obama a "jackass," an "economic ignoramus" and an "idiot" while arguing that George W. Bush's tax cuts should be extended to everyone. The remarks led some observers to question whether calling the president a jackass was acceptable. ABC News noted that though Limbaugh's remarks were consistent with his derisive tone towards Obama, the taunt took "his contempt of the president to a new level."

Idiots like Limbaugh make a mockery of the former American tradidition of intelligent, civil
debate to arrive at compromise solutions to solve our country's problem. His bomb throwing rhetoric is divisive, and offers no solutions--he just tries to shout down thoughful ideas. What he does is treason, and he should be tried and hung.

If he would of called Obama anything else he would have been labeled a racist. Whatever you think of Rush he is right most of the time. That's why the Libs spend so much time ridiculing him. All you high and mighty argueing to defend Obama, what has Obama done to help this economy? Rush at least is doing his job. Obama is pushing his own agenda not doing what is right for the country.

This guy may be rich, but he is sole-less, angry individual, and a terrible Christian.

He's not a Christian, he's an enigma surrounded by a mystery.

The worst kind of men are those who advocate harsh, Spartan manners and lifestyles from their fellow citizens yet are more than liberal with their own indulgences.

I can remember Edward R. Murrow's broadcast condemning Joe McCarthy. I remember Walter Cronkite standing in front of a chalkboard (pay attention, Glenno) explaining the White House connection to the Watergate burglars. I defy any of the Dittoheads to point to one example of soaring oratory or insightful analysis for which Limbaugh will be remembered in decades to come.

Trufredom.......And the remarks you heard about bush, was mostly towards the end of his second term...When most of us at that time realized just how bad he was tanking the country....Obama has only been the pres for 2 and half....Kinda tough to dig out of a hole that was left so big by the previous admin.....And expect to change it in a little amount of time......Im not saying this pres is doing such a great job......But to say at this point in time that he is any worse than Bush, is kidding yourself........Things were tanking when he took office, (job lose, high def, debt, real estate tanking, etc)......The country tanked much more in bush's yrs, than they have at this point with obama......Things were going badly under bush, and obama has just escal it a little...But Bush's were also SELF INFLICTED...And put us in a hole that he knew would be almost impossible to get out of.......

Yeah you can get 'em at Walmart. They come with clothes and everything too. Just make sure you price match.

On a related note anyone remember Glenn Beck's speech on the 99ers? "I'll save your life, go out and get a job!" I wonder if you need to buy one of those too...
