Limbaugh On The Sanford Affair: It's Obama's Fault!
I thought he stopped popping pills.
Limbaugh On The Sanford Affair: It's Obama's Fault! | TPMDC
On his radio show today, Rush Limbaugh offered his own explanation for the Mark Sanford scandal: That Sanford flew out of the country to have an affair because President Obama drove him over the edge:
"This is almost like, 'I don't give a damn, the country's going to Hell in a handbasket, I just want out of here,'" said Limbaugh. "He had just tried to fight the stimulus money coming to South Carolina. He didn't want any part of it. He lost the battle. He said, 'What the Hell. I mean, I'm -- the federal government's taking over -- what the Hell, I want to enjoy life.'"
"The point is," he added, "there are a lot of people whose spirit is just -- they're fed up, saying to Hell with it, I don't even want to fight this anymore, I just want to get away from it."

When I was in my early 20s I thought was Limbaugh was funny, and he can be. But as I'm older and have self-educated myself on economics and politics, I think he's very bad.
He doesn't inform listeners, I think he doesn't even talk about real issues most of the time.
He uses what Wikipedia calss "weazal words."
Political radio started in the 1930s. You need to get people fired up, make people angry, and be over-the-top.
It's about ratings. Not informing people.
The best and only way to study politics IMO, is to read it, and check the sources carefully.Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.

They are political cheer leaders.....that is all.....sometimes they get the crowd roaring so loud at the wrong times neither team can concentrate on the ball......or they get that one guy revved up so much he takes off across the field nude.....
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

You can read all you want but you also have to develop good critical thinking skills, it's easy to get your opinions from someone you tend to agree with, but if you form your own opinions you might find you have something new to say that neither of the sides have discussed, that's when you can make this a real Democracy when you take part and don't just choose sides.......

And yes, we (or at least I) tend to read people we agree with, and that can lead us to outdoing ourselves.
On another note:
Over the last 2 months or so, I've been turning against Obama and now am dissapointed with him.
I think his economic policy to terrible. The US headed down the road to economic ruin decades ago. It seems that Obama is the death knell.Don't go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.
