I couldn't agree more, come on people! its a freakin joke! when did everybody become so uptight. i guess a lot of people are going to have to develop a sense of humor. Isn't there some real issues people should be talking about!

Do you not comprehend or simply ignore the fact that Rush never said he wanted America to fail? I don't listen to the man myself, I feel that when I do catch his show that he gets a little repetitive.

But I can accept what he said and it wasn't that he wanted America to fail.

President Obama doesn't have the power to bring down America if his policies fail.

If President Obama's policies fail, America will continue to go on.

Say what you want.

But if the shoe was on the other foot those who are saying it was just a joke would be saying how it was innappropriate.

But since it was about Rush, then that means that the Republicans are just being cry babies.

I don't paticulary like Rush, but even I think that it was not appropriate for President Obama to laugh at it. He can compose himself and be serious when wants to be. We have all seen it. I find it hard to believe it was a nervous laugh.

Considering President Obama himself has made it known that he doesn't paticulary like Rush.

I agree with you, as the leader of the nation it shows little class on his side. He should act as a moral leader. What does this teach young people? I remember during his campaign, he was the first presidential candidate that I can remember that says we should capture and "kill" suspected terrorist, or take em out as he continually says to this day. Again what does this teach young people. Not even Dubya said that. I know I will get flamed for that but bring them to justice would be a better term as a moral leader.

What is Obama teaching young people?? At least he has sent a postive message of change and restoration of hope to America and the rest of the world, for that matter. Keep in mind, this is a friggin joke. Any kids old enough to know this is a joke are probably old enough to understand the reason why it's a joke. Rush Limbaugh can sure dish it out too. If he can't take it, he shouldn't be in his line of work. It's a freakin joke anyway.. The only people butt-hurt over this are right wingers and Limbaugh-hugging Dittoheads in general.

What is scarier is what Rush Limbaugh is teaching young people. This is the kind of conservative brainwashing that spawns corrupt know-nothings like George W. Bush. Rush Limbaugh is so afraid of getting defamed that he will not only attack anyone who doesn't agree with him. He will also belittle them and refuse to accept or admit when he is wrong (even if he knows he is). He's got alot of leeway on how to analyze and apply his anti-democrat approach. But anything that ever comes from a democrat, he will never agree with. So in alot of ways this defeated, modern approach to conservative politics has always just existed to counter ideas and principles of the Democrat party in general when it really hasn't done anything to reshape the landscape of American politics since Reagan. It seems that for the past decade, or so, it only exists to disagree with and counter Democrat principles and ideals. And, in this way, Rush Limbaugh only exists to disagree with and counter Democrats. Nothing less, Nothing more.

In the words of Lewis Black..
The Republican Party is the party of no ideas.
The Democrat Party is the party of bad ideas.

Republicans are making the Obama presidency a Partisan issue because they know that they are the unpopular party in the country and that they need to defend their image in order to save face (what's left, anyway).

The only reason this is even in the news is because the Republican party is already on the ropes here and because the Republicans have escalated Rush Limbaugh to such a degree of party authority (even though he is just a talk-show host) that now he is being joked about and the president laughs.. The red flags go up for people scared for the future of their sacred Republican party. At least we have a president with the ability to openly laugh at a good joke. Can we move on please? This is ridiculous and its being blown way out of proportion.

THis is pure propaganda - if you disagree with the President - you are a terrorist, you should be tortured and you want America to fail.

Of course you oppose the President because he is a fascist, wants to deprive Americans of their freedom, and is a globalists shill - sorry wrong answer - off the the concentration camps for you.

As for Rush, he's a bad biddy. He needs to be rejuvenated. He was juvenated before, but he lost it. Sa Da Tay...
