Obama fired the first shot by calling Limbaugh the defacto head of the GOP and now Limbaugh calls him on it. Too funny.
Limbaugh has nothing to lose in something like this. Obama has everything to lose. It won't happen for that very reason.

It won't happen because it is twofold: 1) there is nothing to gain; and 2) it is beneath the dignity of the President to debate a chump like Limbaugh. The fact that Republicans made him the head of their party doesn't make him any less of a chump.

In other words, Obama is too big if a wuss to debate Limbaugh.

It's just smart politics to paint Rush as the head of the Republican party. He has an 11% positive rating among those under 40, has more baggage than Zha Zha Gabor, and incites fear among Republican politicians who disagree with him... hell, they even grovel for forgiveness in public!
The black garb, the sweating profusely (is he back on Oxycontin?), the anger... this guy is beautiful to the Dems. Even Reagan would not have been elected with today's demographics... by all means, let the Great Rushbo keep speaking! I'd bet Dem strategists would gladly see Limbaugh's radio audience swell by 50% if he could be permanently imprinted as the Republican god. |

Are you honestly suggesting that a president cannot criticize anyone unless he also debates that person if invited? We call that line of thinking stupidity where I come from.

Not anyone, no. But if Obama and his cohorts are silly enough to elevate someone by singling them out, it's cowardly to then run from the fight citing "beneath the office."
