      Let's compare races, shall we, Lush?

      Shoe bomber: Took George Bush six days.
      Undie bomber: Took Barrack Obama three days.

      Katrina: It took Bush so long to respond that Cuba called offering aid.
      Haiti: Obama is ahead of the game, already promising aid to recover from this disaster in the poorest country in the Caribbean.

      Hey, if it makes things easier for you, Lush Rimbaugh, just pretend that Haiti is FILLED with WMDs, and our money will help purge them from the island nation. 'Kay?

      Limbaugh: Obama discussed Haitian earthquake sooner than attempted Christmas bombing; "Did he apologize for America?"


      Limpballs, I'm gonna explain something that is probably obvious to most of the {sane} world, but apparently has skipped right past you:

      Whenever an attack, either successful or attempted, occurs, it is usually standard procedure for public officials to wait for the results of an OFFICIAL investigation, at the very least an initial one, before making a public statement, so as not to appear uninformed or give out inaccurate information.

      In the case of the Haitian earthquake, it was already readily apparent what had happened initially, and the President took the time to express condolences and offer assistance.

      In the case of the Xmas Day bombing, it was NOT apparent what had occurred initially, which is why Obama was in contact with those who were investigating.

      This is in keeping with the President's reply to a reporter last year about the delay in his public comments regarding to large bonuses paid to Wall St. CEO's: "I like to know what I'm talking about before I speak."

      In other words, the opposite of what you do . . .

        How do we know it was an earthquake? It could have been an act or terroism so powerful that it appeared to be an earthquake. Or maybe Lord Voldemort sent his death eaters to Haiti.

        Rush will have difficulty adjusting to a president who likes to know what he is talking about before opening his big mouth. After Dumbya THAT is a totally foreign concept for the Drugster!

      With the possibility of upwards of 100,000 killed you bet the President should say something! Rush Limbaugh is the most unfeeling self serving S.O.B alive. By the way Rush would it break your stone heart if a country like Venezuela should offer to help? After all commies have to stick together. Conservatism be damned!

        I totally agree. How anybody who claims to be a) intelligent, b) conservative and c) Christian can listen to and believe this horrible excuse for a human being is way over my head. He is not intelligent, he is not conservative and he is CERTAINLY not someone who exhibits any semblance of Christianity.

        No, he may claim to be a Christian, but there is NOTHING in this man's actions which represent ANY of the teachings of Jesus Christ . . . NONE! Anyone who claims to be a Christian who supports this A** needs to go back, read their Bible and reflect upon what Christ said about caring for the least, about loving one's neighbor, about showing compassion for those in need . . .

      This is what you get when you allow a man to get away with murder. Rush has said many things that was imflammatory, racist and stupid and somehow keep his job.
      Now we have a monster in our mist, a monster created by the system that let this dangerous fool hide behind the first amendment.

        Rush, I am not one to complain as it is not worth trying to be the captain of the ship. Obama is doing the best He can,after all, look what He found when He open the door,8-long years' of trash that was left behind by Bush, I read somewhere or heard that You had a heart attack. Which do you tresure the most,puting down everything that You disagree with or Your health. Let me give You some medication called POSTIVE.Try it Rush for at least one week and You will be able to start finding what is important and give people your advise as how to help Our country in a postive way. I wish YOU the BEST with YOUR HEALTH and your outlook on Life. Try it Russ,and in time You will find Your self very CONSTRUCTIVE in how You think and passing it on to YOUR listeners' as well to others'.

      If ever there was a reason for other nations around the world to hate America, they need look no further than Rush Limbaugh. An embarrassment to this country. You'd think there would be a moral line that even someone like Limbaugh would not stoop below. But he keeps proving us wrong.

      What was the sense of urgency to respond to the idiot on the plane. He was captured and only burned his own genitals. 100 of thousands of human beings are either missing or feared dead, so ofcourse some one needs to react and respnd quickly. To bad Bush and FEMA didnt react the same way when katrina struck on US soil. Rush you are an idiot, you are blinded by your racism, and hatred for black people. The old saying goes only the good die young, as evident why you are still here after your heart scare.

      Okay Rush, I won't call you a bad person entirely, you have done good things in the past, but this is seriously out of line. First of all, there was a huge difference, one happened and one didnt happen. Maybe if he didnt respond the first time, he would try to be better about it the second time?

      ___Limbaugh, does not know what he is talking about.

      ___The only thing he knows is that blaming President Obama for everything.

      ___Before anyone blaming anyone, one should go to the source of the problem, and here it!
