Rush Limbaugh Wonders If Every Time Obama Says He's 'Not A Dictator' He's Really Wishing He Was

3/4/13 - During his show Monday, Rush Limbaugh used President Obama's assertion that he's "not a dictator" from last Friday's press conference to question the president's real motives when it comes to running the country. Limbaugh argued that President Obama "has a chip on his shoulder" about the country, believing that its founding was "unjust" and "immoral" and that the Constitution is an "obstacle" to him achieving more power. "Every time I hear him say he's not a dictator, he doesn't complete the statement, 'but I wish I was.'" But, as Limbaugh explains, that's no reason to think he doesn't mean it.

He went on to say that "the 230-year-old engine of prosperity in this country is under assault" and that it's "undeniable" that the economy is on a downward trend. When Limbaugh really finds remarkable though, is that the American people seem to only want to blame Republicans in Congress for their economic troubles, not the president.

Limbaugh is certainly correct about this phenomenon when it comes to the sequester. A Washington Post-Pew poll released before Friday's budget deadline came and went found that 45 percent of Americans would blame congressional Republicans for failing to come to a deal wheras only 32 percent would blame President Obama.
