Limbaugh: ‘We Need To Open The Program Today By Congratulating President Obama’

video
» 157 comments

Amidst all the revelry on Twitter last night, tons of people were voicing their concerns that the death of Osama bin Laden would inevitably be twisted for political gain, that some person would force this huge moment straight into the political Spin Machine. Let it be known; Rush Limbaugh is not that person. Limbaugh opened his show today with huge praise for his President, his military, and his country. That’s right, folks. America can still get along. (UPDATE at bottom)

While Limbaugh pointed out that President Obama was successful because he continued President Bush’s, a cynic might have expected the host to harp on this point. That’s not at all what happened.

“President Obama has continued the Bush policies of keeping a military presence in the Middle East. He did not scrub the mission to get Bin Laden. In fact, it may be that President Obama single-handedly came up with the technique in order to pull this off. You see, the military wanted to go in there and bomb as they always do. They wanted to drop missiles and drop bombs and a number of totally destructive techniques here. But President Obama, perhaps the only qualified member in the room to deal with this, insisted on the Special Forces. No one else thought of that. President Obama. Not a single intelligence adviser, not a single national security adviser, not a single military adviser came up with the idea of using SEAL Team 6 or any Special Forces.”

While he was glad Obama didn’t listen to his military advisers, Limbaugh was just as effusive in his praise for the brave men and women who protect our nation and pulled this mission off. “Last night,” he said. “I was as proud of the US military as I’ve been in I don’t know how long.”

You know how people always talk about getting back to the way we were on September 12th? It may have just happened.

Check out the opening of Limbaugh’s show below:

UPDATE: Later on in Limbaugh’s show, he mockingly read from a post on The Hill and mentioned this post here as well as one on The Huffington Post. Many have taken this to mean that he was being sarcastic in the entirety of his comments this morning. While he clearly was giving the media a little joshing in regards to the “only qualified member in the room” bit, the entire opening of the show was as about as nice as Limbaugh’s ever going to get on Obama. Yes, he didn’t spend the entire show singing the President’s praises, but he also didn’t call him “Pharaoh” or mock the First Lady’s weight. You have to remember, in the world of talk radio, everything’s relative.

    Thank God Obama didn’t keep any of his campaign promises or this would not have happened.

    Thats a lesson to the rest of you Jokers. Your leader has spoken, now follow suit.

    How hard is it for you to swallow your this?

  • ndanielson

    He actually thanked him for carrying on Bush’s policies. The very policies that led to OBL’s demise. LOL. Oh, and thank Bush for the intel from KSM and all the doctors that attended KSM’s “torture”! LMAO!

    Bush? Really? Clearly the GOP is still thinking with one brain and one set of talking points but, if you think the Bush administration had ANYTHING to do with this, listen to Bush himself expalin his strategy on Bin Laden.

    Here’s the money quote from March of 2002.

    “Bush: Who knows if he’s hiding in some cave or not. We haven’t heard from him in a long time. The idea of focusing on one person really indicates to me people don’t understand the scope of the mission. Terror is bigger than one person. He’s just a person who’s been marginalized…. I don’t know where he is. I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you.”

    Try as they might, the Bush gets ZERO credit from where I sit!

    This out of context and clipped quote has been debunked a few times in other threads here at Mediate today. Tommy Christopher also mentioned it in his column.

    Ya both still cling to some stale talking points. Time to get some new stuff.

    Rush is a RINO.

    In all seriousness, congrats to everyone (who is) on dropping the partisan BS, at least for a day.

    I hear a lot of sarcasm in Rush’s voice whenever he says, “only Obama” knew what to do or “Obama single-handedly” planned the mission. Am I alone in that? I don’t say this to criticize Rush, but I think something in his tone is being missed.

  • MrTPar_taY

    I’m glad that Obama kept rendition as well. Looks like all that waterboarding paid off after all.

  • Black and Gold Brad

    Of course, the key points of intelligence came from Gitmo. Good thing that Obama did not close that facility as promised.

  • scristanti

    Are you kidding where are your comments on who was already starting the political spin within an hour Andrea Mitchell , stephonopolos, all Obama lovers were bashing bush, did you miss that, and did you not hear the montage of the liberal reporters and the usual CNN and msnbc commentators all reassuring this is a shoe in now for Obama to be reelected he has it made now, since you listen to rush go back and listen to rush play all of them, it’s herlerious, they cannot hide their excitement for him, so obvious so let’s see you report on this, and by the way I am so happy he was killed we all are as a nation but leave it to the press and media to only give credit to obama, when his poll numbers are the lowest they have been. Election is a long way off and this country is in a mess, how do you like those gas prices, well just go buy a new car with lower mileage that’s obamas solution. Did you notice how many times Obama said I in his speech, so typical of him, it’s all about him and his re election and the press and media will do all they can to help him.

    They would have never been brought to G’tmo, had the liberals had their way, the intelligence from KSM would have been lost in KSM’s circus trial, and OBL would not have been living in constant fear of death, had Gore won, or the liberals had their way on “prosecuting” this one.

    They’d be going after Bush for killing him without a trial, on foreign soil, and DEMANDING DNA proof.

    Bingo.

    That’s never made sense to me — Blowing OBL’s brains out is ok. Waterboarding KSM is not ok. But, then again, one gets the feeling that all the bitching about Bush was just bitter partisan politics.

    And after last night, that feeling has been confirmed.

    actually, that’s exactly what is happening, 2 hours into the broadcast… i’m a fan of rush and it’s obvious he’s giving very little credit to the president when he says “obama single-handedly came up with the technique in order to pull this off…” i suspect mr bershad is not a regular listener or else he would have picked up on the sarcasm, although it should have been clear to anyone listening regardless if they are regulars…

    presidents get too much credit and too much blame… i, for one, do feel that obama deserves as much credit as any other president would get in his position… bush has to take heat because his general, tommy franks, failed to follow up with ground troops and search for bin laden after they bombed tora bora… but at least obama didn’t blink like clinton did when he literally had bin laden in his crosshairs via satellite…

    It was mined DURING the Bush presidency using “enhanced” interogations. They didn’t get the final piece until 2007 and had the primary intel “for years” according to the WH rep during the briefing. And THAT intel was from 9/11 people. KSM captured, March 1, 2003 and that Al-libbi guy who the guy was right hand man to was in May of 2005.

    Think about it……Bush gets actionable intel…..would mean sending troops into Pakistan…….already Code Pinko and the Bitch in the Ditch Sheehag are on TV nightly calling for his head……in 2007 Congress was run by the Dems and unlike our current scoffer-in-chief, Bush went to Congress for AUMFs both times and both times they overwhelmingly voted to give it to him.

    You think in 2007, when it was all out war to insure their acendency to the WH they were going to make a R Pres look good by going to Pakistan and killing OBL?

    Did you get tossed for being “elle” and are now back in this sock puppet?

    Your inability to grasp simple points coupled with you writing like a serial killer leads me to think you are one and the same.

    Bush? Really? Clearly the GOP is still thinking with one brain and one set of talking points but, if you think the Bush administration had ANYTHING to do with this, listen to Bush himself expalin his strategy on Bin Laden.

    Here’s the money quote from March of 2002.

    “Bush: Who knows if he’s hiding in some cave or not. We haven’t heard from him in a long time. The idea of focusing on one person really indicates to me people don’t understand the scope of the mission. Terror is bigger than one person. He’s just a person who’s been marginalized…. I don’t know where he is. I really just don’t spend that much time on him, to be honest with you.”

    Obviously you missed the briefing.

    They stated the original intel came from 9/11 detainees at Gitmo and they tied the final pices together 4 years ago after having the original intel “for years” (his EXACT words)

    4 years ago = 2007…………President = ?
    Coupe of years before that and after 9/11 = 2003 04 05…………President = ?

    Hell if you bedwetters weren’t in charge of Congress 4 years ago and weren’t dead set on politicizing the wars so you could take Washington, we would have killed him then.

    There are a number of sources that have been linked to explaining the information regarding bin Laden’s currier, that informationt was obtained during the questioning of KSM another high value target they now have in GITMO. That Intel had been developed over the years until they got the curriers name and what area he worked, Obama followed through with it after he was assured the intel was actionable.

    Sarah from Italy posted this earlier:

    WASHINGTON – Officials say CIA interrogators in secret overseas prisons developed the first strands of information that ultimately led to the killing of Osama bin Laden.

    Current and former U.S. officials say that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, provided the nom de guerre of one of bin Laden’s most trusted aides. The CIA got similar information from Mohammed’s successor, Abu Faraj al-Libi. Both were subjected to harsh interrogation tactics inside CIA prisons in Poland and Romania.

    The news is sure to reignite debate over whether the now-closed interrogation and detention program was successful. Former president George W. Bush authorized the CIA to use the harshest interrogation tactics in U.S. history. President Barack Obama closed the prison system.

    Of course it is. By all means, don’t give him any if it makes you feel better. Liberals on all these comment boards have been screaming all day about giving Obama credit, which MOST have done and already had done. However, when the conservatives or republicans ask that liberals at least recoginze the efforts made by the previous administration……… NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO is the resounding response.

    I couldn’t be more opposed to Obama’s policies, but any fair minded person has to give the man credit on this. He did a wonderful thing here. It was a hugely ballsy move to do a SpecOps raid instead of dropping bombs. He could have had a real clusterf*ck on his hands like Jimmy Carter did. But he made the tough call and went for it. That’s called leadership. Hat tip to the president and our world class special operators for a job well done.

    So, If I have the timeline right, the intell was gained around August. Coincidentally, that was the same time Holder was up in arms with how the CIA got intell and was talking about prosecuting them. Kind of makes it seem like we were able to pull this off in spite of our hands being tied. Kudos to our guys for doing what was needed to keep up safe, in spite of being threatened with prosecution for doing their job.

    The time line seems to have started originally with info from Khalid while being held in rendition and over the years pieces were slowly added that allowed intelligence to definitely identify the real person vis a vis his nom de guerre and then actually physically locate and track him to UBL’s rat hole.

    That info from last August was the actual identification of the real name of the courier that for seven years had not been linked to the actual person.

Many have taken this to mean that he was being sarcastic in the entirety of his comments this morning. While he clearly was giving the media a little joshing in regards to the “only qualified member in the room” bit, the entire opening of the show was as about as nice as Limbaugh’s ever going to get on Obama. Yes, he didn’t spend the entire show singing the President’s praises, but he also didn’t call him “Pharaoh” or mock the First Lady’s weight. You have to remember, in the world of talk radio, everything’s relative.”

    What I am saying are facts. Bush’s close relationship with the Bid Laden family would of looked bad, but to round them up and fly them out of the country is very suspicious even when they could of been asked if they had any knowledge about Osama.

    I think Bush is one of the worst President’s in American history but I don’t think he was an evil man. That truther crap is as much garbage as the birther crap.

    Except that everything that led to the death of OBL, 0bama ran against, with the cheering sheep on his side. Did 0bama credit Bush for anything in his speech?

    Why would Obama give Bush credit for the great intelligence he got from him with the wmd’s in Iraq? Honestly, Bush could of and should of got Bin Laden had he stayed on Bin Laden’s tale and not sent our resources and troops into the wrong country after the wrong guy.

    Credit for what? For giving an order? Whatever, I’ll give credit to our military, if I could I would give them a Bravery in Putting Up with Obama or BPUWO Medal for short.http://libertarians4freedom.blogspot.com/

    You mean the credit for getting 5,000 of our troops killed for the intelligence he got and acted on in the wrong country? Yeah, he gets 100% credit for that.

    —Don’t like war? Afraid of death? Don’t join the military. We have a VOLUNTEER force, our soldiers join knowing they will be asked and fight and perhaps die or get maimed for their country. So unless you’re being drafted, don’t complain, honor their sacrifice, and stop saying they died for nothing.

    A true butt- hole but I guess everyone is entitle to their own opinion. Rush ,how are are you going to say on one hand that this was former President Bush’s mission and the mission was accomplished because President Obama followed Bush’s plans.Then say President Obama couldn’t have did this by himself. Like we believe our former President could think of that by himself ,alone with no one involved .Please , Bush had so many people thinking for him Bush himself didn’t think he would or was able to think a complete thought. If Bush was President you would think different you would be rolling the credits for our former President and his accomplishment sand those who know you know,know why.Thank you President Obama for completing A mission. With no excuse of what you should or could have done .Just that I got the job done.Thank you President Obama may God keep you and continue to bless you.

    Yes I agree. Invading a country, shooting an unarmed man, exaggerating the details, bragging to your brothers. Following Muslim death rituals…Justice sure was done. What happened to Usama’s rights!
    You would not be able to Find Bushes house if he had killed him in this manner as the Left would have a million people marching on a Conservative President. And you know it.

    I notice Mediaite buried this thread relatively quickly. 54 minutes until El Rushbo completely obliterates all the Left leaning bloggers who fell for his monologue!! Making up some special coffee just for the three hours. Join in, you will love it.

    I nver thought I’d see the day that Rush made a remark that made sense. Wow i’m impressed.

  • jokids06

    I can’t believe that someone feel sorry for a man that created so much trouble . We should feel sorry for someone who killed or definitely responsible for so many Americans that died.Who feel sorry for them? I guess we can forget about our people, no one gave them warning shots . Wow who gave the people in the twin towers a chance to save their lives.They was unarmed! Who warned them, they were UNARMED.I guess that was okay .Where is the justice ?Oh thats right Americans DON’T deserve none. Every President In office guilty of some type of FRAUD but because he is an educated black man everyone have a problem .As much damage as Bush did to this country we are still recovering from his FRAUD. Oops, I mean mistakes. Please…….. Give us a break!

    Just a thought : For years we have been placing Poker Face players in office.People,” they are BLUFFING”. One thing about President Obama he where his heart on his sleeve which makes him a horrible poker player. In poker people gamble without thinking about consequences.I think our President is a more strategic player (chess player). A person that try to think of an A,B,C,D situation.Before making a move. We had too many poker players in office who were playing with our lively hood .Our President is doing well though all the crap he had dumped in his lap.I’m not saying that everything the President do is perfect but neither was any Presidents decisions made before President Obama. I know we all want him to be a MAGICIAN but he’s not .Any business person know there were many years it took for our country to get to this point of deep debt it will take many years to dig our way out. Our Former President couldn’t wait to do a disappearing act. He can dump his mistakes in someone lap and it become their problems,their mistakes and he get to walk away from the mess he made. God Bless America and all our opinions.

    OSAMA IS ALIFE
    1. I Belief it is a FAKED DNA, there is not mention of how they got a blood reference on O. BinLanden, not even a piece of hear.
    2. WHERE IS THE BODY; pictures can be fabricated to perfection. Smart people will not be fooled. Remember the funny weading?
    3. Unfortunately, Osama Bin Laden is alife and kicking. The Bible is saying he would have never be found in the Book of Daniel
    DAN 11:19 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found. This is an invention by the administration to stop the desperation of the American people.
