Did Rush Limbaugh Actually Praise Obama on the OBL Mission?

When Rush Limbaugh opened his show today, he seemed to be heaping praise on President Obama for authorizing the mission that led to the death of Osama bin Laden: “Ladies and gentlemen, we need to open the program today by congratulating President Obama.”


Limbaugh went on to say:

President Obama has continued the Bush policies of keeping a military presence in the Middle East. He did not scrub the mission to get Bin Laden. In fact, it may be that President Obama single-handedly came up with the technique in order to pull this off. You see, the military wanted to go in there and bomb as they always do. They wanted to drop missiles and drop bombs and a number of totally destructive techniques here. But President Obama, perhaps the only qualified member in the room to deal with this, insisted on the Special Forces. No one else thought of that. President Obama. Not a single intelligence adviser, not a single national security adviser, not a single military adviser came up with the idea of using SEAL Team 6 or any Special Forces.

Though the tone of his remarks were sarcastic, various media outlets–from Time and Mediaite, to the Huffington Post and National Journal–all took his words at face value: as actual praise for Obama.

Gawker summed it up:

…listen to the clip up, as he sarcastically stresses the parts about Obama being the only person in the room ever to think of this mission and he should get all the credit. He‘s just pullin’ your leg, people. He hates Barack Obama!

Listen to Limbaugh later in his program:

    Let’s give credit to whom credit is due: America’s intelligence and defense forces! I didn’t even notice Obama in the picture of the situation room until I saw it a third time. He is like a small spectator. He hasn’t a clue about such matters and depends on the military to tell him what he needs to do. Please people! Sure, let him take the credit but American’s know better.

    Libs will take anything out of context, and spin anything to make it look like everyone loves Obumbler. They heard what they wanted to hear and ran with it. I agree with Rush that Obumbler’s involvement in this was minimal at best. What does he know about military operations? Absolutely nothing.

    I hope the American people realize that the reason OBL is dead, is because of the policies set up by President Bush. The SAME policies that Obama condemned while running for office in ‘08! God Bless President George W. Bush and our military! IF the Republicans had ANY brains whatsoever, they would keep reminding EVERY ONE that President Bush’s policies worked and SO did water boarding, the SAME policies Obama KEPT in place– BECAUSE BUSH was RIGHT!! THAT will keep Obama as a ONE TERM president.

    The only reason they fell for it is because they think that his greatness (the messiah) has so magnificently demonstrated his prowess that even the right can’t deny that he is the chosen one to whom we should submit and just give a second term to.

    They must have just thought conservatives were coming around to witness the “truth” that is Obama’s reign.

    It would be funny if it weren’t such a sad display of the state of the media considering the number of outlets that ran with it, easily depicting their bias in how quickly they are ready to crown Obama king—they’re just waiting for the right moment, and they think this is it.

      Come on Dale, there‘s no need to make this into a partisan thing where one side’s doing the immoral thing. Liberals and conservatives just come at things from different points of view; from one perspective it can be hard to see things from another, and I think people on each side of the political spectrum are often guilty of willfully interpreting actions from the other side in such a way as to paint them in the most negative light possible — but I don‘t believe that’s endemic of any political position.

      To wit, I don‘t doubt that you’re being honest when you say that you can’t think of any humorous liberals, but that’s only because liberal senses of humor tend to be markedly different from conservative senses of humor. As someone who works almost exclusively in a university setting, I run around a lot of liberal circles, and it would be impossible for me to say that they lack a sense of humor. Moreover, I’m sure that many of them would say that conservatives lack a sense of humor. (And I don‘t think they’d be correct either.)

      The main reason the liberals and progressives cannot or will not ever understand ones like Rush and Glenn is that they have lived with telling spin and distortions for so long they do not recognize straight and honest opinions and facts.

      To them, the world is similar to the old saying of a paranoid person – “You do not have to be paranoid to have enemies, but it does help.”

      In their case it is being the pusheers of an agenda based on falsehood, phantoms and phantasm’s that has them seeing and not understanding the truth as nothing more than another agenda that does not in fact exist, save in their own imagination.

      Yeah, that’s sarcasm. Limbaugh has never, and would never, give President Obama credit for anything, same as any AM radio host. He ridicules Obama for reading books to his kids, or taking his wife out to dinner, so you know he’s not going to give him credit for anything. That’s how he makes money.

      Think about something: if the mission had failed, if US soldiers had been killed and nobody captured and no information gathered, would Rush have blamed anyone but President Obama? Would Rush and you have heaped scorn on the President? Of course.

      I think it’s amusing how Republicans are being very careful to not give the President credit, although they would have clamored to praise Bush, like they did when he proclaimed “Mission Accomplished!”

      The fact is, Bush shifted his focus to Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9-11. The current President refocused on the people that were actually out to kill Americans, which was his campaign promise. He followed through with many more drone attacks on Al Quaida targets and an increased focus of American effort on Afghanistan and Pakistan. And that paid off. He did in two years what Bush failed to do in seven.

      God Bless America.

      Exactly Model, If you don’t listen, you have no clue. I had friends in the past that said he hated women. I told them to actually listen for awhile to see how tongue in cheek he was and they finally frigging got it. It’s not hard to see where he comes from unless you are a died in the wool feminazi!

      The CIA developed its theory through leads from individuals in bin Laden’s inner circle and other captured fighters following September 11. Intelligence officials were repeatedly told about one courier working for bin Laden as someone that America’s most wanted man deeply trusted.

      The detainees provided U.S. officials the courier’s nickname and identified him as a protégé of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and a trusted assistant of Abu Faraj al-Libbi, once al-Qaida’s third-highest-ranking official. (He was captured in 2005.)

      Piece all that together. KSM was captured in Pakistan in 2003. Al Libbi was captured in 2005. Both, and many other captured al Qaeda terrorists, have been held at Gitmo for years, where they have been interrogated, queried, quizzed and waterboarded. And the information they all have dribbled out has been patiently pieced together over years, finally giving US intel a name and an operational picture that was actionable. If we had simply killed them with drone aircraft, or made the decision early on not to find out what they knew, the raid to get Osama bin Laden would never have happened.

      “What must be pointed out, the intelligence gather came not under Obama’s watch but Bush’s; surely if left to this regime, no intelligence would ever be gathered; in fact, Obama has shut down such intelligence gather procedures, calling them cruel and unusual punishment. Of great interest, Obama has taken credit for the operation’s success based on intelligence gathered under cruel and unusual punishment, perhaps he should have not used such, standing by his principles. What we see clearly is a man raising his ego level to near bursting, the gain, not security but political rise, a campaign boost to beat all, and the amazing point being, not only his supporters were fooled [obviously] but many conservatives gave credit where no credit was due. Your alert factor should be sending fair warnings, Obama puts out his birth certificate [while it be fake or naught] and then has Bin Laden taken out; surely a red flag goes up; my question is…”What’s next?””

      Darn it…I read somewhere early this morning that Obama was proclaiming that he’d just use bunker busters and other concentrated bombs to just obliterate locations where Osama was expected to be headquartered…he made these suggestions prior to becoming president…Rush’s commentary is correct…you just have to “reverse” Obama’s position! Of course it was satirical!

      I can’t for the life of me remember where I read this…grrrrrr…does anyone know?

      AzDebi, I think I follow you but let me summarize to make sure I’m clear on your opinion. The economy collapsed seven years into Bush’s term, but that was Clinton’s fault. 9-11 took place under Bush’s watch, but that was because of Clinton. Osama Bin Laden was killed 10 years after 9-11, and two years after President Obama took office, but all the credit goes to Bush.

      And also, President Obama couldn’t really be President because someone like him, born in another country, doesn’t qualify. And he couldn‘t really have graduated with highest honors from the world’s most prestigious law school but it only looks that way because of a special dispensation as a result of his, uh, lack of qualifications. And he couldn’t really have managed the operation to get Bin Laden because of all those things you mentioned. Obama simply couldn’t have legitimately accomplished all those things. That’s just not possible.

      I have stated your position correctly?

      RUSH LIMBAUGH = the first to illustrate how the pressure of “political correctness” was /is being used to manipulate public opinion. His angle on the news and unique vocabulary kicks the “MSM” angle over to the left where it belongs. Then the listener decides.

      Also, he remains optimistic and positive. He’s a serious fun-poker whose humanist convictions shine through.
