Should Obama debate Rush...?

Since there seems to be some dispute between the two, and Rush has offered to pay all expenses for a debate.

Please answer whether you like/dislike Rush/Obama

Update:

Apparently there are people on hear that need anger management, and need to quit living in the Past. If you have proof that Rush is still popping Oxy, then show it, otherwise get a life.

Update 2:

I would agree that Obama must be careful, but he is the one that brought Rush further into the equation...

Update 3:

A COUNTRY TO RUN, I would agree with that statement, if he didn't take Airforce1 at $5700 an hour, to Chicago for three days so he could have Valentines dinner at a steak restaurant.

    Obama doesn't have the gall to talk to much less debate Rush. I think since Obama feels the need to even mention Rush, he must feel very threatened by him. I wish he would talk to Rush. Maybe some of the idiots that believe Rush wants America to fail might find out they are wrong. But then again, once these people grab onto a Liberal rumor, they run with it.

    Absolutely he should debate Rush! All they would have to do is put it on pay per view, they could wipe out the deficit. Maybe not all of it... may just the part that Obama keeps crying about that Bush left. You know the 20% of the current deficit.

    Apparently, many of you stone-throwing liberals have forgotten that your fearless leader lives in the proverbial glass house--he's admitted that he used cocaine at times in the past. BOTH men have had their problems with drugs, BOTH appear to have moved on. Why can't you? Does a little radio entertainer's use of logic frighten you to such depths that character assassination is all you've got?

    That being said, I don't think it would be very "Presidential" for a sitting resident of the oval office to stage a debate outside of a bid for reelection. It would look way too bad for him when he lost!

    No. It's bad enough that he's bothered to respond publicly to anything that an opinion show host has stated. It would serve no good other than to create a Maury Povich style frenzy among the public. He needs to worry about being a president and not a movie star. I'm not an Obama fan, but it would clearly be a bad idea.

    This is only a distraction, and Rush (who is now the de facto GOP leader) only has to worry about his fan base and his bank account (not necessarily in that order). The President is embarking on a path to rectify the egregious failures of the previous administration and more urgent matters to handle.

    Obama is the President of u . s . of america of u . s . of america. Rush Limbaugh is a ineffective blowhard entertainer on communicate radio. Obama would not droop all the way down to the point of Limbaugh. Your racist gorilla lady remark says plenty about you dude and about the fools that imagine that gasbag pill junkie is God.

    There is nothing to debate. Obama is the president. Rush is a bit fat drug addict. Why didnt conservatives complain as Bush wasted 600,000,000,000+ on Iraq?

  • 1 decade ago

    No. That would be a waste of time. I like Obama...can't say I'm a fan of Rush though.

  • 1 decade ago

    Why would he? Obama knows Rush would bury him. Obama is smarter than that.

  • why should He? Rush can say whatever he wants whereas Obama has to be careful. Apples and Oranges
