Rush Limbaugh's site this week features the following story -- and edited photo -- at the top of the page:

RUSH: Now, the jobless rate is now official.  Yesterday it was 9.2%.  Today they've really officialized it.  The unemployment rate is 9.4%.  This is a 26-year high!  How is that hope and change working for you?  How is that stimulus working for you?  Biden went on television today while Obama's over there wining and dining his wife in Paris and says, "You know what? We're going to speed up the stimulus spending."  They're going to speed it up?  What, you're just going to do it by fiat or you going to go back to Congress and have legislation for this?  These people are autocrats.  They're running everything now at the White House on their own initiative without consulting Congress.  Of course the Democrats in Congress don't care and the Republicans in Congress may not know.  (I'm being charitable.)

But the fact is that government-controlled Associated Press is trying to spin record high -- 26-year record....

Thoughts, anyone?

The country voted for change in 2006 when they elected a large majority in the House and Senate. They reaffirmed that vote when they elected Barak Obama and reelected a large Democratic majority in Congress. Policies of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd led to the destruction of Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac. Just more proof that the government can't do anything right. The fools in the press leading the goats in Congress and the public sheep to the slaughter.

"We won the election and we're going to do whatever we want". Arrogant quote by guess who! The problem is that they're doing it to all of us!.

I hope you enjoy the "change". Bend over, You asked for it!

Yes, the US economy is a mess but why does Rush single out President Obama?
Is the Bush-Cheney presidency blameless for the situation?
And, to put things in historical perspective, how does he explain the
fact that Bill Clinton left the White House with the record budget SURPLUS
and Bush-Cheney left us with a record budget DEFICIT, which continues to grow?
By the way, why does Rush sound like such a super-patriot now?
What happened during the Vietnam War, when he had a chance to serve
our country? Instead, he chickened out, claiming a pilonidal cyst on
his fat behind. I'm a 3rd Infantry Division vet, and also had a pilonidal
cyst. It was removed with a simple operation and I was fine in 2 weeks.
But super-patriot Rush pontificates about Iraq & Aghanistan, while sitting
safe & sound on his office, on his fat pilonidal cyst. What a hypocrite!
Who can psosibly believe anything this guy says?

Policies of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd led to the destruction of Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac.

Please show us the policy that originated with either Barney Frank of Chriss Dodd that stopped lenders from verifying the incomes of loan recipients. In fact, since neither of them loans money directly to borrowers, the scenario you have been misinformed into believing is quite laughable indeed.

Just more proof that the government can't do anything right.

Umm...Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac were private, not government.  Not sure who misinformed you on that one either.

But let me guess...you love the military, which is run by the government.  You probably also love your police and fire departments...which are run by the government.  Looks like your making fine use of the internet, which just happens to be a product of government.  Not sure who misinformed you on that issue either.

Do you think there's something wrong with loving our military, our police, and other emergency personnel who daily risk their lives to protect ours?

Mmm, Rush is only enamoured of himself, certainly not of America.

Nope. 

In the 2006 election, Americans elected an identical number of Democrats and Republicans to the Senate, in addition to two independents.

While Democrats won 233 House seats to the Republicans' 202, that wasn't enough to counter the narrow margin in the Senate -- especially since Republican Vice President Dick Cheney was the presiding officer (and tie-breaking vote) in the Senate from 2006 until the new Senate was seated in 2009.

Very best wishes,

I'd be the first to agree that some of my colleagues in the press have been sheep helping the wolves to lead our great nation's populace toward a slaughterhouse.

The Washington Post and the New York Times seem to me to have been particularly at fault in that regard -- not to mention Sir Rupert's minions in Times of London and his other media slaves at Fox and elsewhere.

But why tar everyone with the same brush?  Aren't there decent and responsible members of the press, too?  If there weren't, how would most Americans even have a clue about what's been going on in recent years?

Very best wishes,

        -  John

Why haven't there been moves to charge Messrs. Bush and Cheney with even a single offense during their eight years of stewardship of our great nation?

If Messrs. Bush and Cheney had done anything wrong, wouldn't someone have moved to indict them during the year that their political opposition has been in office?

Is Vaseline what our politicians have been using to get things down Americans' throats the last two decades?

Or is that a substitute for Crisco in baking cookies?

I'm not suggesting that Bush-Cheney have committed indictable offenses.
What I am saying is that BigMouth Rush Limbaugh, the Vietnam Draft Dodger,
constantly criticizes Obama, but neglects to point out that Bush-Cheney
triggered the crisis that we are now in.
Even though Bush-Cheney have not broken the law, however, they will go down
in history as responsible for sending brave GIs to Iraq, where more than 4,000
have been killed and 20,000 wounded, in a war that Bush Senior and other intelligent
Republicans would have avoided. God will deal with them...in Hell, or at
least Purgatory. They sure as heck ain't going to Heaven!

You may not be inBHO back pocket.But you will not help prove the citizenship debet

What "citizenship debate?"  There isn't one, according to the leaders of the Republican Party, former President Bush and former Vice President Cheney.

What if Mr. Obama was an alien from the planet Mongo and his real father was named Ming?  What possible difference would it make now, 25 per cent of the way through Mr. Obama's term?

I asked for you help and you will not help like you said ,neither will the state of Hi.they refuse to show the birth paper work also.

And Democrats (and even some Republicans) claims there's substantial reason to believe that former President George W. Bush went AWOL from our military forces during the Vietnam War.  Those records are said to have been destroyed.  What difference does it make now?

Isn't our great nation now facing more important questions -- such as our economic duture and the growing number of wars in which we're involved -- than whether or not President Obama's family somehow had the foresight to forge his birth certificate?

Very best wishes,

       -  John

John: It would make a huge differece. Don't you respect our constitution? You know the only document that sets apart from all other countries? Tricky dick had 6 deferments from nam! And yes they did have the fore sight to forge his BC. But only after the big banks back him. It's a new world order!! This is a man who has not even look into 9/11 or the fact he has not "Change" 1 dam thing that GW started, he has only expanded on. We the people are the ones being played. So yes it does matter where he was born and you/we should take action to stop any "Usurper from taking over any part of our gov." Otherwise we end up like Germany during HITLER time!! Whose next Arnold? Get real John this topic of the BC is more than important. You have the avenue of informing people from your platform, Now use it and help your country! Unless you are from some other country then the USA. "Power to the peaceful/people!!"  RIO in WNC P.S.
