Of course upon reading this, I thought it was a misprint. Rush saying anything positive about the President, had to be a mistake. Well, it appears that he wants a do over. Rush Limbaugh said President Obama deserved "congratulation" for the death of Osama bin Laden.
"We need to open the program today by congratulating President Obama," he said on his Monday show. "President Obama has done something extremely effective, and when he does, this needs to be pointed out." The effectiveness, he said, came from President Obama's decision to send a Special Forces team to kill bin Laden--something he said, citing news reports, that none of the president's military advisers had thought of doing.
"Our military wanted to go in there and just scorch the earth...but President Obama single-handedly understood what was at stake here. He alone understood the need to get DNA to prove the death...it was President Obama single-handedly and alone who came up with the strategy that brought about the effective assassination of Osama bin Laden," he said, adding, "thank God for President Obama."
Of course, Limbaugh said this with more than a grain of sarcastic salt. He made clear that, in part, it was Obama's continuation of President Bush's military and detention policies that provided the intelligence which bin Laden's killing. (He also made the by-now-common gaffe of switching Obama's and bin Laden's names around in his sentences.)
