Rush Limbaugh opened his show by offering advice to whoever has been behind the “miss me yet” billboards featuring former President George W. Bush, suggesting they replace Bush with pictures of Jimmy Carter. In Limbaugh's eyes President Obama is “worse” than Carter, who was the worst president “in the last 150 years.” Limbaugh also pushed his theory that President Obama is “hen-pecked” by Michelle Obama, who won't let him have “real food.”
In response to a House statement by Rep. Jim Moran on census safety and the negative atmosphere created by conservative talk hosts attacking the census, Limbaugh said, “Jim Moran and his ilk are encouraging people to steal, to rob, to threaten their fellow citizens.”
Discussing the recent move by Venezuela's Hugo Chavez to nationalize more of the oil industry, Limbaugh said that at least Chavez wants oil, while the moratorium issued by the Obama administration supposedly shows that Obama doesn't. Limbaugh concluded that “Chavez is a thug, but unlike Mr. Obama, he's a patriotic thug.” Limbaugh interpreted the appointment of Gen. David Petraeus to oversee the war in Afghanistan as Obama getting “Bush's general,” who he claims that the left hated, to win the war for him.
Rush also spent several segments responding to a caller who asked what he was doing to aid the environment, derisively calling her “church lady” and responding that he helps the environment in part by taking vacations and giving his employees bonuses.
