— Ace Can you feel Red and Blue America coming together in amity?
When President Obama was asked if he would play a round of golf with his talk-radio nemesis Rush Limbaugh, the response, relayed by a top Democrat, was: "Limbaugh can play with himself."This is according to Zev Chafets in his new book, "Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One," due May 25 from Sentinel.
The caustic comeback is another example of the verbal venom between the White House and the conservative radio star. In an interview with CBS News last month, Obama called the views spelled out by Limbaugh and Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck "troublesome."
The question was asked of Limbaugh, too, who said of course he'd play golf with the President -- any president. But, Limbaugh predicted, it could never happen, as Obama's leftist base would have a "sh-t fit."
Limbaugh's a kook, eh?
Oh, and since Obama makes cutesy sexual double-entendres in his disses, I think it's more likely Obama knew exactly what he was saying when he referred to "teabaggers."
In two completely unrelated stories: A man with the commonplace name "Richard Smith" decided to change his name to something more memorable. He settled on Stormhammer Deathclaw Firebrand.
This trumps the previous record-holder for silliest bad-ass legal name-change, established in 2008 by Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined.
(BTW, that last one is an old story -- two years old -- but it seems to be getting "re-broken" lately for some reason.)

I'd play golf with any President, too. But, I'd never play golf with a Precedent.

Also, Oballbag is a sniveling arse. The right is ALWAYS willing to shake hands with the left. The left however NEVER practice what they preach and this is the result. A delusional self serving President (God I hate saying that) who has done nothing but stick his finger in the eyes of his political rivals. This 'man' needs to actually start some uniting that he claims he can do because all I see is a fault line the size of San Andreas that HE created.

But maybe he thought he was among friends when he made that comment and wouldn't be quoted -- a naive belief in this day and age when everything a President says and does at all times is subject to leaks and scrutiny.

My family is so liberal-condescending-superior about just how compassionate and kind and concerned about "tones" THEIR side is, while my side is, of course, racist-sexist-bigoted etc.
Now their hero comes through with this childish (tween?) insult. Right after his outing of being a user of the term "teabagger." Thats showing some true adult leadership, President Oworthless. Betcha you don't talk to Iran, N. Korea or China with that mouth!
I'll use these same references over dinner soon and my family will be shocked, SHOCKED that I would use such terms. I predict it now.

Chafets reports he encouraged Limbaugh to reach out to the president just after last July's "Beer Summit" that Obama hosted between Professor Henry Louis Gates and Sgt. Joseph Crowley, the Cambridge cop who arrested Gates after he locked himself out of his own home.
"You guys are both golfers," Chafets told Limbaugh. "Would you play a round with the president and show the country that there are no hard feelings?"
"He's the president of the United States," Limbaugh told Chafets. "If any president asked me to meet him, or play golf with him, I'd do it. But I promise you that will never happen. His base on the left would have a s--t-fit."
"How about letting me ask?" Chafets said.
"Go ahead," Limbaugh said. "Nothing will come of it."
Chafets writes that he reached out to Obama adviser David Axelrod, "whom I know slightly," but Axelrod didn't return calls. Then Chafets spoke to "a very senior Democratic activist with whom I'm friendly" who said he would convey the message.
A day or two later the adviser responded, "Limbaugh can play with himself." Chafets wouldn't name the aide or say whether the quote was directly from Obama.

In 1990, I was living in the SF Bay Area and working for a small company in Costa Mesa, down in Orange County. On one of my trips to the headquarters, I walked in and the secretary blurted out, "You made me scream in bed last night!" There was much embarrassment and blushing and stammered denials until she explained, "I had a nightmare last night and dreamed you were attacking me." (I have no idea how I managed to invade the girl's dreams.)

In all fairness, the Indonesian Imbecile's English isn't that great, so it's not out of the realm of possibilities that he just doens't know the appropriate preposition to use. Considering that he has yet to learn the correct usage of the indefinite article, this is a distinct possibility. In Indonesian elementary schools, they learn to use "by" and "with" interchangeably.

The Corpseman in Chief is a fitting name for Obama. Not only does he not look black, his face in photographs often looks a ghastly gray color and very corpse like indeed.
There are also very unfortunate make up gaffes, ranging from orange to some shades never seen in nature.

It's obvious this conversation started off on the wrong foot. To wit, Limbaugh should know that Obama is a "pay-to-play" kind of guy, so it's merely a question of how much is he willing to pay for the face time.

dear mr. president,
what i find troublesome is that you spend so much time worrying about critics when you should be doing your job. as james madison once said, when you have freedom there is dissent, and opposition parties. i am sure you aren't a fan of james madison either, you know, since he was the primary author of the constitution, that piece of paper you also find so "troublesome."
in closing, i would add that you are a putz, a spend-thrift, and i'd appreciate it greatly if you'd stop spending this country into bankruptcy. also, i would recommend that you read some milton friedman, or perhaps some hayek. if this is too "troublesome" for you, then perhaps you could at least read some thomas sowell.
we all are looking forward to your defeat in the next presidential election, and for us locals we are hoping that you'll stay in d.c. instead of coming back to illinois to cause more problems.
Mistress O.
