1. What he said was that repubs should stop listening to limpballs

What he should have said was that he is a fat drug abusing pedophile bloatmeister.

2. I only saw the quote cited at Faux Noise and some blog.

Are you sure he actually said it?

4. Yeah an aide confirmed he said it. He basically

said "You can't get things done, listening to Limpballs"

3. Nope.

He said you can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done. He didn't say shouldn't or don't. One word makes such a difference! I know that it's a lesson for me to listen and read more critically.

5. It was at the meeting he had the other day with the Dem & Pub party

leaders. They were all talking about bipartisanship and working together. Obama said we can't have bipartisanship if all you do is listen to Rush Limbaugh. Of course, this was just a day or so after Rush said he hoped Obama FAILED!

8. YEP.

But the tabloid news sites, Politico and Faux included, decided to do what they feel they do best: take a quote out of context and run with it.

6. He was basically telling them that they need to expand their POV beyond the RW blowhard rhetoric
