“Indeed, by invoking Limbaugh’s name he brought on not only a finely crafted response (which made a convincing case that the stimulus is a political maneuver not an economic recovery plan), but ensnared himself in exactly the sort of political bric-a-brac he wants to avoid.”

Barack Obama’s invoking the name of Rush Limbaugh is similar to the proverbial drunk 130-pound weakling who is foolish enough to challenge a room full of Hell’s Angels gang members. The results inevitably will not be pretty. Obama is an intellectual lightweight—and the famous radio talk show host is extremely knowledgeable. Limbaugh would easily humiliate the pseudo-educated Obama in a debate. The new president’s Harvard University law credentials overly impress far too many people. They fail to comprehend that they merely prove that Obama should be able to pass a State board examination. It means nothing more than that. Limbaugh has accidentally forgotten more about the current issues of the day than Obama ever learned.
