Thought on the Obama/Limbaugh story

Looks to me like Obama is trying to offer an out to the GOP leadership for selling out conservatives. When Obama says that the GOP leadership can't let Limbaugh stop them, he doesn't mean Limbaugh, he means conservatives. He knows the GOP leadership despises us, he's trying to convince them that selling out is gonna be alright. Seems to me there's a race between Obama and conservatives to see who can implant a backbone into the GOP elites first.

Let's just be cynical for a moment (I know that goes against the nature of most of us here /sarc). Imagine that Obama's number one priority is, not whatever bullshit he's proposing and/or backpedalling on at the moment, but getting re-elected.

What's the best way to do that? Continue to destroy the GOP. While something, hopefully far more conservative, will arise from the ashes of the GOP, it will take more than four years.

Anyone with half a brain knows that the next four years are going to be incredibly tough for America (and the rest of the world as well, of course). Obama is political scum, but he's not stupid. In the normal course of events, and with the current environment, he'd have a hell of a time getting eight years.

WTF, at least El Rushbo is constitutionally qualified to be President!
