        If Limbaugh didn't talk about what he didn't know, we'd never hear from that moron again....

      It's been working, and still working for, well, the rest of the country.

      I guess it didn't work from Rush's perspective because probably not even viagra can't stimulate him anymore.

      Yes, poor Roshambo got hit so hard by this recession, I know he had been eagerly awaiting his stimulus money to get out of the gutter and back into the workforce. But of course it worked like a champ for Obama.

      In Rush's world, everyday is opposite day. Failure = success, Sierra Club = ecological enemies. Obama is a calculating evil genius hellbent on destroying our country while being a weak man-child who is an intellectual inferior to Sarah Palin.

      well, you are emanating from a private radio studio in your house so why would you care ? Other than an attempt to derail our president's governance ? And who, incidentally, is surrounded by a fine looking family instead of totally insulated from reality neon signs.

      Who's "US"?

      Billionaires? $35M-a-year Radio Hosts? Rich fat white people? Right wing blowhards? People who are ignorant of Economics?

      Who's the "US" here that "the Obama" is not a part of?

      When Bush left office, the dow had lost nearly half of it's value. It's recovered half of that loss in ~18 months under Obama. And all without a housing bubble, or any help from whomever "US" is.


      And the only thing Obama's done that WOULD have any effcet IS the stimulus. Try explaining how it's "worked like a champ for Obama" if it "didn't work."

        Rush just looks at the fact that since over 50% Americans make 500 or less a week should have had there taxes go up not down, while he should not have to pay taxes.

      The headline reads that Rush thinks, and that says it all. Rush just throws his thoughts out there with no factual analysis to back up his claim. It's hard for me to believe someone pays this man millions of dollars to just say whatever is on his mind.

      Rush has no clue what it is like to have a real job or be unemployed in this economy.

      It sure DID work - since we don't have a parallel economy, we can't "prove" to you that it worked, but economists across the nation will tell you that it worked.

      On top of that, had the economy gone into a Depression because we did nothing, that would have hurt our economy much, much, much more than almost any amount of deficit spending will EVER do.

      Economically, almost none of Rush Limbaugh's listeners can enjoy the same "perspective."

      Hey RUSH, why don't you ask the people that were unemployed but got jobs because of the stimulus what they think of it. I know some of those jobs are GOVT.jobs but to my way of thinking a GOVT. job is better than no job at all.

      I think we can all agree that Reaganomics didn't work, but that it worked like a champ for Rush Limbaugh.

      Our perspective? By "our" does Rush mean people like him? The people who supported George W. Bush whole heartedly right up to the bitter end??? The people that supported all the wars and stupid economic decisions and who received all the benefits from the Bush tax cuts??? I'll bet it doesn't look good from your perspective fat boy cuz now it's time that people like you were asked to pony up for all your disasterous actions.

      Um, no, Rush. Actually, we can't.
