New Book Claims Obama Told Rush Limbaugh He Can “Play With Himself”

A new biography of Rush Limbaugh entitled Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One is hitting shelves next week. The book, written by Zev Chafets, details the conservative talk show host’s many squabbles with the left, especially the current administration. The publishing company behind the book has let one story slip to goose sails and it’s making a number of headlines this morning. Probably because it’s absolutely hilarious. It’s the story of how President Obama turned down the chance to golf with Limbaugh, by saying Rush could “play with himself.” And we thought the crude middle school insults only came from Rahm Emanuel!

As the New York Post is reporting, the book describes how Chafets encouraged Limbaugh to invite the president to a 18 holes as the two are both avid golfers. Limbaugh, ever the realist, told Chafets he’d love to do it but knew that Obama would never go for it. However, Chafets was undeterred and made the invitation anyway.

From the New York Post:

“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.”

So unfortunately, there’s no way of knowing if it was actually Obama who decided to decline that way, but we really hope it was. For some reason, there’s really nothing funnier than imagining Obama and his aides giggling like school childrens as he the president says, “Oh my God, totally tell him to play with himself! Get it? Get it?” Sure, Obama’s poise and stature is what gained him so much respect during his campaign but, like his speech at the WHCD, it’s nice to see a more human side from the man. Even if that human side resembles a 13 year old boy.

Right! sure he did!

I hope he did! Of course, judging by Limbaugh’s height and weight it’s clear that there’s not much there. On the other hand, the tall good looking one with the long fingers clearly has been blessed. It brings to mind one of my favorite headlines which read “GOP uncomfortable with the size of Obama’s package.” Indeed!

roxsteady, LMAO
“On the other hand, the tall good looking one with the long fingers clearly has been blessed.”

I guessing you didnt see your messiah throw a baseball. That is one goofball… He is only blessed as being the luckiest and biggest BS unqualified president we have ever had.
roxsteady

I’m guessing that you’re an idiot! Trust me when I tell you that the tall guys with the long fingers have something else in common. By the way, this President is already kicking Bushes ass! He may not throw a fastball but, he can really shoot that 3! By the way, it’s I’m guessing not, I guessing!

Where’s the video? Otherwise I don’t believe it!

I feel the same way about Jesus. Have you ever seen him?

He can’t bowl, can’t pitch, probably can’t golf either, even though he’s done it more than Bush has both his terms.

I would have found it funnier if Obama had said Limbaugh can go f*** himself. But that’s Darth Cheney’s quote.

“He can’t bowl, can’t pitch, probably can’t golf either, even though he’s done it more than Bush has both his terms.” Really? These are the qualifications to be President? I suppose you’re aware that the idiot Bush claimed to have given up golf for the troops then, was busted several times golfing?
roxsteady

Actually, I’m sure you were not aware of this because I saw it on Countdown and I know you folks prefer the non news network that is fox where you would never see the footage because it’s actual news!

Rush Windbag doesnt need to play with himself. Hes got his KOOL-AIDS drinkers to do it for him.
badr

You’re right, he has an audience, as if that’s news to anyone.
stevor

when Obama said that, he was being coy. Obama longs for the days with Larry Sinclair

How can Rush Windbag play with himself; it appears to me that he would need much longer arms just to reach his little thing….

When it comes to playing with himself, I doubt the fat wanker needs any instructions from Obama.

Mr. -0bama must have kept his staff up all night thinking of that classy retort.

Stay Classy, Obamabots! You are the most un-couth, un-presidential bunch of bozo’s ever to reach the White House. Enjoy your stay, until 2012!

It is a fact that many elected Republicans fear Rush Limbaugh and keep on apologizing to him whenever they upset him and when Limbaugh calls them out by name because they know that they will be primaried by Rush’s many millions of followers the next time that they are on the ballot if Rush is still upset with them. This is the main reason why very few elected Republicans will seriously work with Obama on any of his major legislation.

A back door version of The Fairness Doctrine was the biggest thing that Rush Limbaugh and his wing of the Republican Party feared right after Obama was elected and it is still Limbaugh’s top fear right now. Evidence of this is that Rush Limbaugh wrote an opinion article in the Wall Street Journal titled “Mr. President, Keep the Airwaves Free” one month after Obama was inaugurated and his many millions of followers reply very quickly whenever this issue is brought up because they fear a back door version of The Fairness Doctrine so much. Obama in my opinion is a very nice and sincere person but he does not have the toughness and the experience that it takes to seriously compete with Rush Limbaugh, FOX News, Matt Drudge on even terms and on a level playing field because they are all experienced professionals at what they do while Obama has very little experience in the area of message warfare. This is why I think that Obama has been losing the message war on an overall basis since he has been in office.

The best thing that I think Obama can do right now to fight the message war, to try and change the tone in Washington, and to possibly liberate many elected Republicans from their fear of Rush Limbaugh is his trying to cram a back door version of The Fairness Doctrine right down the Republican’s throats any legal way that he can (such as through an FCC appointment or by putting it in a bill to fund the troops which has to be passed) and then let Rush Limbaugh and his wing of the Republican Party spend a lot of their time, money, and energy trying to fight it in the courts for a few years. That is what Limbaugh and his wing of the Republican Party feared most of all when Obama was elected and it still may not be too late for Obama to try and do it right now.

I hope Obama realizes that he will see very few (if any) Republican votes on any of his major legislation as long as so many elected Republicans fear Rush Limbaugh and fear being primaried & purged out of the GOP by his many millions of activist followers.

I think that Rush Limbaugh probably approved of this book being published even though it is truthful about how powerful that he really is, how much that most elected Republicans truly fear him, and what his intentions really are for the country because of his huge ego, because most Democrats will either not care about it or will not believe it, and because it will help to reinforce his standing as being the undisputed leader of his hard core activist base of millions.

I wish that more people were aware of the information in this book because it debunks a lot of tea party and fringe GOP talking points, it reveals just how dangerous that Rush Limbaugh really is, and it gives people a very good idea of what will happen to the country in the future if too many tea party candidates win in November and if a “Limbaugh-approved” Presidential candidate should win in 2012!

I definitely believe that if the entire country was aware of how powerful that Rush Limbaugh really is, how that so many elected Republicans truly fear him (which affects the way how they behave toward Obama and Democrats along with the way how they vote on major legislation), and how that Limbaugh is just saying “No” to a lot of major legislation which affects the lives of many people only for his own political and ideological purposes (which the NYT article link below and the new Limbaugh book plainly admits), then I do not think that the Republican Party would even be taken seriously today by most people right now. That is the reason why I am actually trying to promote the New York Times article right below along with Limbaugh’s new “An Army of One” book:

Here are the link to the NYT article about Limbaugh’s new book and just one quote from it that I know is true based on the evidence I have seen (which is credibly documented in my post right above):

The Limbaugh Victory

By ZEV CHAFETS
Published: May 19, 2010

“Mr. Limbaugh was not just the architect of this plan, he was (and continues to be) its enforcer. Dissenters like Arlen Specter, whom Mr. Limbaugh disparaged as a “Republican in Name Only,” found themselves unelectable in the party primaries. Moderates like Michael Steele, the party chairman, were slapped down for suggesting cooperation with the administration. When Representative Phil Gingrey of Georgia had the temerity to suggest that Mr. Limbaugh was too uncompromising, he was met with public outrage and forced into an humiliating apology…”

The total CROCK — which shows what an utter two-faced HYPOCRITE Obama is — is the fact that it was SENATOR Obama who was very critical of Bush being seen playing golf at a time of war, repeatedly noting to the press that it was in poor taste…

…Yet suddenly PRESIDENT Obama has no problem playing golf himself at a time of war. In fact, in his first two years of office he’s already been out on the links MORE than Bush ever was.

Than again, why should this surprise anything? After all, this is the same two-faced liar who also declared during the campaign that he was a religious person…yet magically for the last two years he couldn’t get his worthless ass out of bed and TO an actual Sunday service.

Oh wait, I take that back.
Obama DOES get up on Sunday mornings — to play even MORE golf !!!
