Rush: Obama wants me to fail

Rush Limbaugh hit back at Obama Monday, turning around the president’s criticism and saying Obama would like to see him fail.

“I think Obama wants me to fail,” Limbaugh said according to a Boston Herald report. “President Obama, by telling you and the elected Republicans in Washington to not listen to me because I am not how things get done in Washington, he has said that he wants me to fail.

“He’s obviously more frightened of me than he is Mitch McConnell,” the conservative radio host added. “He’s more frightened of me, then he is of say, John Boehner, which doesn’t say much about our party.”

Limbaugh also attacked Obama’s claims that he intends to govern in a bipartisan fashion. “Now this is the great unifier,” he said. “This is the man who’s going to unify everybody and usher in a new era of bi-partisanship and love.”

Ya know... I think Rush likes this. After 8 years of not having anyone to hate that would get people to pay attention, he's been given President Obama! It's like the Clinton years have continued!

Has anyone looked into the costs of a tube of super glue and a ninja?

*Limbaugh snip*:rolleyes:
People still listen to this guy?

Of course Obama wants Rush to fail. Rush will make the next 8 years of his career taking apart every miniscule misstep by the Obama administration; why would Obama want Rush to succeed at that?

What is the super glue for?

What is the super glue for?
Rush's mouth.

Rush's mouth.Given your title, it might be better to just stuff him full of ice cream.

There's the added benefit of a horrible, horrible brain freeze!

I volunteer as the ninja, so that part will be free.

Hell, I want Rush to fail. Ill flat out say it.

I do laugh however at the notion that Obama is "afraid" of Rush. Maybe Obama should ask Rush how those perscription drugs and underage Carribean prostitutes have been treating him. That way, maybe he can get on Rush's good side by showing an interest in Rush's interests.

Hmmm. Good point. Couldn't the ninja just eviscerate him and avoid wasting ice cream or super glue? I need that glue to put together my little Warhammer figures.

I don't know if you've ever been to Costco in Japan, but they have ungodly Hokkaido soft cream.

That shit just sucks up glue doesn't it?

Well, it used to. I used to drown my models in glue and get tangled in the vapors after they solidified, but I've become better at rationing the stuff these days.

Less is more, and all that jazz.

yeah I've gotten better. Depends on the model though, whether they glue by lying flat and flush, or sorta the "insert tab A into hole B" like some of the more flimsy ones.

Aye, indeed. I always wondered why they'd need to write "If your eyelid becomes glued shut, do not attempt to force it open".

That was until two weeks ago, when I leaned far too close and wound up attaching a contact lens to my upper eyelid. ^_^;

Obama could just carry a large bottle of oxycontin on himself at all times, so whenever Limblob opens up he can scatter a few pills for distraction.

Rush's mouth.

Surely, you mean for his other end.

Surely, you mean for his other end.

And divert all that flatulent hot air towards the orifice facing the microphone?

Surely, you mean for his other end.

It tends to be hard to tell the difference, anyway.

Obama's not the only one who wants Rush to fail. I swear, the right just use his talking point for their playbook.

The superglue you can get for a couple bucks. The ninja is the hard part. They can be very difficult to find and expensive. Lots of amateurs, but it's not the same thing. Also, they take themselves way too seriously and only do things like assassination and industrial espionage. I tried to get one to sneak into the Pope's bathroom and fill it with marshmallows, but he wouldn't do it. :(

LG or Smunkee should learn the secret art of Ninjutsu and take on such a mission.

I don't think Rush should have his mouth glued shut because his mouth does a better job of humiliating him than I could ever do. :)

Y'all run the government, you've come out on top (temporarily, anyways, politics is a fickle, fickle mistress)...what do you care what some guy on the radio says?

I don't think that is a question that anyone really wants the answer to. I can only suppose that Google attempted to customize your results, so I blame you.

What if the president wanted you to fail at what you did for a living?

Pill-popping is a living?

*Yes, I know that's a low blow.

I hear he enjoys, and needs, the blue pill.

We've taken this joke so low that it's digging into the Marianas Trench.

Any good stories about model mishaps? Back when I was young and stupid, I thought that dunking a model in turpentine would strip all of the paint off...

...the twisted remains of Commander Azrael stand as mute testament to the dangers of teens with access to caustic chemicals. On the plus side, I can use him as a Chaos Horror or something! :D

Its funny. I recall Rush saying he wants Obama to fail as president. And yet, here Rush is, offended.

See, if Obama fails, people lose their jobs, their homes, and maybe die. If Rush fails, we just have one more stupid, overweight drug addict without a job.

He sounds more Libertarian than Republican there, dontcha think? It's like a Soviet Vulcan joke: The Needs of the Few Outweigh (or Overweigh in the case of Limblob) the Needs of the Many.

As long as Rush doesn't run in 2012, Obama has nothing to fear.

Hmm. I would assume that you live in an American house with central heating AND insulation though, correct?

Currently we could store the bloody ice cream in the hallways of my school and not only would it not melt, it would freeze!

Don't Presidents get one consequence free kill?

Not thinkin Rush is a real threat to lose an election to.

Yeah, but we only heat it to 50 because we're cheap.

That sounds like my mom's house. I swear, that woman has antifreeze for blood.

Yeah, but we only heat it to 50 because we're cheap.
We don't heat period. :tongue:

We also have these nice, large single pane windows in our hallways and thin cinder blocks for walls and no insulation.

Ya know, oddly enough most Japanese really do not do well in the cold. They're always complaining they are cold, and yet they never try to build buildings to better deal with it.

No but I think we should add it to the Constitution.

Heh. Reminds me of the certain students in Niigata who complained when I wouldn't run the heater at 35 C (95 F) in the winter.... :eek:

I love (love love love) Japanese girls, but I challenge you to find more knock-kneed women anywhere else on the planet.

I honestly think that it's just the cold.

Or the fear of sharking?

I just like women period, but I prefer a bit of independence.

Sharking??

To make things clear: A bit of Independence = I don't rely on you for everything; I am with you because I want to be.

Heh. Reminds me of the certain students in Niigata who complained when I wouldn't run the heater at 35 C (95 F) in the winter.... :eek:

Ugh, that sounds horrible. I haven't been to Niigata Prefecture since I was very young, so I barely remember what it was like. To be honest, I couldn't even remember where it was until Wikipedia pointed me in the right direction.

I am ashamed.

In Japan's defense, both my Toto toilet seat and the heated floor of my bathroom are glorious innovations that need to be spread around the world. It's just a shame that the rest of the damn house demanded two pairs of socks and slippers with bear heads on 'em.

Sharking??It's like pantsing, except worse. With bras and panties and stuff.

Like *films* HAHAHA THIS IS BORDERLINE RAPE KEKEKEKEKE ^_^.

Oh, Japan. I love you, but you keep making me hurt you.

Tell me about it!
Why do I need to tell you something you damn well know? :tongue:

Heh. Reminds me of the certain students in Niigata who complained when I wouldn't run the heater at 35 C (95 F) in the winter.... :eek:
Ah, the glorious heater wars. I can't do a damn thing when I visit my kids' classroom so I end up roasting, and then it's a constant dance in my room between my Japanese teacher and student attempting to crank up the heat and me attempting to crank it back down.

Let's not forget the ones in Tokyo that dress in miniskirts and large, high-heel boots...and then cling to their boyfriends.
Japanese woman are evil. Especially the ones who decide that their large overly warm American husbands are JUST the thing to press cold hands and feet into when they come to bed. :mad:

Actually, now that I think about it, a Walrus and a mattress = the greatest trampoline ever. It's probably like sleeping on a bounce house.

I want rush to open his mouth as much as possible so that every one can see what a total fool and and blowhard he really is..If you want to see a reason why the republican party is imploding. Look to Rush and to other "conservatives" who patently do see that the country is tired of divisive tactics and partisan politics.

If the republican party does not figure this out in the next 2 years there will be less republicans in Washington DC.

I think so too. Mind you its not the worst of jobs.
Until your loving SO presses those blocks of ice she calls feet into the small of your back and those trays of ice cubes she calls hands on your chest JUST when you're about to go to sleep. Then the walrus doesn't sound nearly that bad.

I actually enjoy the cold, as long as it's not windy. Ice cream, sub zero temperatures, light clothing and snow was how I spent quite a few evenings on that one trip I took to Canada.

Coupe Denmark just isn't the same at ambient temperatures where it melts. Three scoops of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and melted chocolate on top that remains frozen until the moment it touches your tongue.

Hell, I wear shorts every single day of the year, but I draw the line at ice-cold things going near my nipples.

Nerv, I suggest we subject these cold loving folks to a taste of a nice Southwestern summer day... Your choice - my Houston 100 F (38 C) and 90% humidity or your Nevadan 115 F (45 C) and 10% humidity.

Indeed. A moderate dry heat's OK. (Twas always a great pleasure to visit my Nana in El Paso during the summer - dry and not too hot.)

Having been exposed to ludicrous heat is why I love the cold. Summer on the Euphrates in Ar Ramadi is horribly wrong. When it's cold you can always put more clothes on but when it's hot you can only take so much off before you get in trouble. And even if you're completely naked it's still hot at hell.

Either would work, just as long as I don't have to show up in Houston. :D

Of course, I think it would be funnier to dump these folks in Niigata or Aomori in February and see if they would still indeed claim to be polar bears without their central heating. :wink:

I've experienced Australian 40 C. No idea about the humidity, but very low. +35 C with equatorial humidity is also not a problem. Temperature adaptivity is a good thing to have.

During winter in the snow country on the Sea of Japan side... that wind comes right out of Siberia and it blows all winter long.

During winter in the snow country on the Sea of Japan side... that wind comes right out of Siberia and it blows all winter long.

That sounds like when I lived near Lake Superior in Upper Michigan. The wind would come across the lake from the Plains and the house would immediately cool down 10-15 degrees. I'm so glad I don't live there anymore.

If the wind doesn't hit me directly, I'm pretty fine with it. Wind chill is the only problem I have with temperature adaptation.

Oh, that's fine. Thin walls are better than no walls and it does prevent the wind directly blowing on me. It might be a problem if I haven't eaten much all day, but usually something to munch on is more than enough fuel for the internal furnace.

Ah.....Skalvia sees business opportunities involved here....Im surprised someone hasnt tried to hit up that market...

No, you're right. It's incredibly odd that Japan, with its limited energy reserves and the high cost of fuels, simply fails to utilize modern methods of insulating a home. A lot of the old, traditional buildings are beautiful, but they're also freezing. I remember watching something on the news about an old lady that was hanging blankets from her walls. The new ones don't do much better, whether they're built in the Japanese or Western stye.

I still can't figure out why this is, though. Perhaps everybody is just too cozy under their kotatsu to bother doing anything about it.

Note: My mom told me that she saw a full-size, dining table kotatsu the other day. What the hell? I got an image in my head of a family spilling food all over the futon, wherein it becomes all crusty and sad. :(

It just sounds like a terrible idea.

...now I feel sorry for the poor, neglected blanket.

Part of the reason is that Japanese homes have always been built to the hot Japanese summers as opposed to the cold Japanese winters. The fact that you can build a modern building that can handle both has yet to be realized in Japan. The other reason is that a lot of the houses are not exactly constructed well and with the same care they are in the US. They are put up fast and cheap thanks to patterns set down after WWII. Again, it's a combination of not being aware that they can change and not wanting to.

What's wrong with that? I mean my kotatsu is my dining table and the same with my in-laws (Who have the fancy floor pit one even).
