Limbaugh: Obama’s Speech Was ‘Personal Bitch Slap’ To Rep. Paul Ryan

audio
» 56 comments

Today on his radio show, Rush Limbaugh joined the likes of Joe Scarborough and Charles Krauthammer in criticizing the tone of President Obama’s deficit speech, calling it a “personal bitch slap” against Paul Ryan and the other Republicans. He gave an interesting take, however, theorizing that Obama specifically chose to give the speech during the day because it wasn’t serious enough to give at night.

“What I meant by ‘He couldn’t have given that speech at night’ was it wasn’t serious. It had no gravitas. It was a campaign speech and the networks are not gonna give up primetime for a campaign speech. Not now. They will later on depending on how close the Republican nominee’s getting to Obama. I was simply talking about the speech itself, how unserious it was. Obama did not want to give that speech at night. Obama did not even want to give that speech yesterday to adults. He chose to give it to a bunch of young skulls full of mush at an institute for higher learning. And he relied on the drive-by media to report it by virtue of sound bites.”

It’s an intriguing theory made all the more entertaining to listen to by Limbaugh’s detour to point out that daytime entertainment isn’t all bad. After all, there’s his show.

    Why invite Ryan if you are going to insult him, in front of the nation, by calling him a murderer?
    Obama blew it big time yesterday by playing soley to his base…
    a base that will absolutely believe that Ryan is out to harm autistic children…
    I thought “bitch slap” was putting it mildly…

    He did the same ( lied ) about the Supreme Court with then sitting right in front of him. Obama’s a punk with a bit of mean girl mixed in.

    That blew my mind when he did that… and to see Chuck Schumer standing over the SC clapping and grinning like he did turned my stomach…

    I think it’s good when he tells them to their face that their plan sucks. It looks like the righties are running to the corner and playing the victim card.

  • Greg

    Leaders of the fundamentalist confederate movement paint our Executive as a foreign born Muslim manchurian puppet… When he outlines a view of government that differs from the Republican plan then it is a “bitch slap”… And the grumbling fundamentalist confederates take to the digital tubes to launch their attacks.

  • TillieGlockenspiel

    Obama’s a bully and a COWARD. If the Republicans ever figure out that he is a sociopathic liar, they might quit believing his promises. Look at what he promised the American people when he was seeking the presidency. The man cannot tell his lies from the truth- that’s what makes him such a good liar.

    This is how they operate over on the right side of the aisle: 5am est. Frank Luntz talking points get emailed to FOX, blog-sphere, talk shows etc, etc. Different segments have the same talking points throughout the day. Right-wing radio and blogs use the same talking points. Turn on C-SPAN and the Republicans are using the same talking points. It’s a top-down organization, “the tide goes in the tide goes out there is never a miss-communication”

    That’s good, Yoda. How many points did you get for following Demon commandment #3 in the 10 Commandments of the Demoncrit playbook:

    “3. Whatever illegal and unethical thing Democrats are about to be exposed for doing, or are planning to do, instantly rush out and accuse Republicans of that exact infraction. Remember the 3 D’s. Distraction, diversion, and deception are our most powerful weapons.”

    That’s an old one that’s been used by Democrats for the past 50 years.

    You may want to check rule # 5 of the Republican playbook. Let me paraphrase it “Lie and mislead the public to push an agenda”. Your #2 guy in the Senate pushed a doozy about Planned Parenthood.

    Republicans run on the 3 G’s Gays, Guns and God.

    Hahaha! Yes it was a bitch slap to Ryan. Ryan is President Obama’s little BITCH!

    “Hahaha! Yes it was a bitch slap to Ryan. Ryan is President Obama’s little BITCH!”

    —Don’t worry, Ryan’s gonna slap him back. Obama thinks his so special, “look at me, I’m gonna give a speech and blame the GOP for everything! And I’m gonna promote class warfare too! Yay!” Well, all the pretty words of Obama mean nothing, most Americans want deep cuts and Ryan’s budget has them, so the people are gonna rise and the Marxist mulatto will have no choice but to comply. Let me be clear my ass, hey Obama, let us be clear, STOP SPENDING!

    Limbaugh: Obama’s Speech Was ‘Personal Bitch Slap’ To Rep. Paul Ryan

    You betcha!

  • Bill Huggins

    It was a slap to Ryan and Reaganomics.

    In short: IT WAS AWESOME

    OBAMA POWER!!!

  • ChrisNH

    It is a pure joy to see Obamo’s political skull get bludgeoned each and every day. But Bush was bashed worse by the Left, so we’ve got some ‘making up’ to do.

    And so we shall.

    Happily, Obamo is well past the point of ending his only term as president on any sort of ‘high note.’ His legacy is now garbage, and nothing he can do from hereon in will reverse that trend.

    This is all GREAT to see!!!

  • mediadoubt

    Limbaugh complains that Obama’s speech was unserious, and then uses the childish and offensive term “bitch slap?”

    I guess Limbaugh has gotten to the point where he doesn’t care whether he has any credibility, because his simple-minded fans will swallow anything. Watching the fact-free blatherations the wingnutters post here whenever Limbaugh’s picture is posted, I guess he’s right.

    Stealing from the feeble-minded is pretty despicable, but Rush has raised it to performance art.

    She swings and she misses…..again.

    Another lame attempted bitch slapping from the feeble minded sword swallower extraordinaire.

    I guess she was wrong afterall, but at least she tried, that’s all that counts in the liberal end, at least she tried.

    I gotta go, I’m starting to tear up here.

    The Demonrats have perfected this tactic and now that Pelosi has disappeared after that house fell on her or someone poured water on her, Obungler & Reid, ably assisted by Motormouth Schumer, have to carry all the water. What a pathetic crew of third-rate girly men.

    …………………………………………
    That would be “neat” if it were true and I wish it were! The fact is Obama has given into the “teas” hostage taking of women, lower mid clases and service persons. You can’t negotiate with “tea” terrorists or the party of No! As far as a “bitch slap”, yes he did use a standard “tea” practice and I wish he had not! No person should ever stoop as low as a “tea” to prove a point, even as wrong as Ryans made up numbers were!( that Heritage won’t even support now)
