Obama vs Rush

If you follow american politics you’re probably aware of how the Obama administration went after Rush Limbaugh. If not this Karl Rove piece gives you a quick recap and a reasonable explanation as to why they did it.

Team Obama — aided by Clintonistas Paul Begala, James Carville and Stanley Greenberg — decided to attack Rush Limbaugh after poring over opinion research. White House senior adviser David Axelrod explicitly authorized the assault. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel assigned a White House official to coordinate the push. And Press Secretary Robert Gibbs gleefully punched the launch button at his podium, suckering the White House press corps into dropping what they were doing to get Mr. Limbaugh.

This is low from the Obama administration. All the talks about moving beyond party politics, about having Democrats and Republicans work together and so forth, is all just a bunch of bull. When the trillion dollar spending bill passe through the House and Senate the Democrats ignored the republicans since they had waited 8 years for their wish list.

It’s tragic to see a President of the United States promise hope & change but do the complete opposite in practice.
