Limbaugh Responds to Obama Calling Him Out: He’s ‘Delusional’ to Blame Me for Gridlock

Rush Limbaugh is used to hearing President Obama call him out by name to decry partisanship in Washington, so when he heard the president did it again, he admitted “it isn’t any big deal anymore” to hear it. After all, as Limbaugh said, he’d heard the same things from Bill Clinton when he was in office. That being said, he did think Obama was being “delusional” to think he’s to blame in any way.

Obama said to The New Yorker that he can’t work with Republicans in Congress because they see him as the “caricature” that Fox News and Limbaugh paint him as. Limbaugh mockingly said that clearly it’s only him and the folks on Fox News who don’t love Obama.

And not only that, Limbaugh said, but Obama also appears to be suggesting conservatives can’t think for themselves, they’re always under the influence of the media outlets they listen to.

So Limbaugh was simply amazed at how Obama could think he could get more done if, say, Limbaugh wasn’t on the air.

“Now, who is delusional? Who is absent reality, you or Obama?… Wouldn’t it make more sense if you were in Obama’s shoes, that you would understand why certain people don’t like you and disagree with you?”
