@Bi-Polar Bear,
Yes, Rush is a radio talk show dj, and yet you want the president of the United States to shout him down.
Bipo, there's this thing called Freedom of Speech (not to mention Freedom of The Press) which is considered pretty important and doesn't only apply to Michael Moore and Bill Maher.
Having the president of the US telling you to
sit the hell down and shut the hell up might be considered to have a chilling effect on these rights, much the way it would have been if W said the very same thing to Hellen Thomas or The Dixie Chicks.
And so Obama won.
That seems to be a favored response to his critics: "Shut the hell up, I won."
Well, he did win and so he gets to say so. Doesn't seem to be in keeping with his campaign rhetoric about uniting and bi-partisanship, but he did win and so he gets to rub it in his opponents' noses.
God damned right! That's why you voted for him isn't it? So he can stare down all those Right-wingers who want poor people to die in the streets and tell them what stupid fat turds they are. After all, he won; you guys won!
Of course you came a bit late to the party, but what the hell, you won too.
