Here we were all set to post on the growing Merrill Lynch/John Thain/Bailout ripoff scandal, and President Obama upstages the news to the point where, try as we may, we just cannot resist another round of scathing criticism.  We have duly taken note that when we post against Saintly Obama, who the press have already beatified, our hit count drops like a stone.  Few want to hear it, at least they don't want to hear it from us.  Americans are afraid of the truth.  The majority of us don't want to be forced to consider that in our collective zeal to be rid of President Bush, we elected something far worse.  So far, all the wishful hopeful talking head press about Obama governing from the center have proven false.  We are only a few days into the next four years of socialist hell, and it is clear that Obama is catering body and soul to his extremist left pals who purchased the Presidency for him.

That's the wind up - here is what upstages all other news:  Obama issues a veiled threat to Republicans to ignore conservative talk-show he-devil Rush Limbaugh - or else.   This tells us several things -

• Obama Democrats are paying more attention to Rush Limbaugh than the Republican Party.  As Limbaugh himself proclaims, the Republican Party has been ignoring him for a long time.
  
• Obama Democrats are worried about what Rush Limbaugh is saying to the people who dare to open their minds and their ears to listen. 
  
• This is the second high profile official to cite Limbaugh by name as a force of pseudo-evil in a world dominated by socialist media and the billionaires who control it.  Colin Powell, an Obama backer, issued a similar call for Republicans to tune out Limbaugh in favor of the soothing subliminal messaged elevator muzak.  We thought Limbaugh's response to Powell was a devastating rebuttal. 
  
• Democrats, led by Obama, recognize Limbaugh as a threat.  They are afraid of him.

Now that Democrats clearly demonstrate fear of Limbaugh, we are warming to the guy - rapidly.

This meeting where the veiled threat was issued forth by Lord Obama also revealed a smug, arrogant President.  Here is the comment from the New York Post article, along with a naturally forgiving missive from the lefty "journalist" writing the story:

"In an exchange with Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.) about the proposal, the president shot back: "I won," according to aides briefed on the meeting.  "I will trump you on that."

Not that Obama was gloating. He was just explaining that he aims to get his way on stimulus package and all other legislation, sources said, noting his unrivaled one-party control of both congressional chambers"  (italics & underline added). 

Isn't that nice.  Obama was not gloating the propagandist reporter assures us - nah, wouldn't dream of it, right? 

Of course he was gloating.  Only the three monkeys, who we name "West Coast", "Mid-West" and "East Coast" are incapable of seeing the inconvenient truth. 

In the meantime Nancy Pelosi re-iterates the democratic party intention to entirely exclude the Republicans from the legislative process.  This stops just a wee short of formally declaring a one party system of government.  That is effectively what the Democrats are saying, and even for a hear-no-evil nation, it's hard to ignore what a one party system is.  Do YOU, dear reader, know what a one party system of government is?

Rush Limbaugh is right, the Republicans need to stand up, get loud, and fight.  Being mealy mouthed whiners is not helping America.

PS.  Remember what we said about transparency?  Anybody count how many hours elapsed before transparency became opaque for Obama and his crew?
