What's Up With the Rush Limbaugh Obsession?

I can’t remember ever seeing anything like the current media circus and the Obama Administration's obsession with Rush Limbaugh. What is up with that?

Rush Limbaugh is NOT the new leader of the Republican Party…Michael Steele is.

Rush Limbaugh is NOT the voice of the Republican Party or the conservative movement anymore than Alan Colmes or Keith Olbermann are the voices of the Democrat Party or the liberal movement.

Rush Limbaugh, like me, is just a concerned citizen who believes strongly in the founding principles of this country. But, unlike me, he has a microphone that reaches millions of Americans daily.

If some Republican members of Congress and Rush Limbaugh are saying the same things, it just means that they share the same beliefs. It does not mean that they are taking their cues from him anymore than he is taking his cues from them.

A lot has been made over what Rush says and how he says it and much of what he says gets taken out of context in order to inflame people against him. Why? Does't the First Amendment which,"prohibits the United States Congress from making laws...that...infringe the freedom of speech, infringe the freedom of the press...", give him the right to speak freely? Yes...it does!

This whole obsession is ridiculous. It’s time for this current administration to grow up. Are they still in high school? If they would exert as much energy putting together a consistent message then maybe, just maybe, the American people wouldn’t feel like the new president and his administration are in a constant state of chaos.
