Limbaugh: Obama's a 'Jackass'

(Newser) – Right-wing trumpet Rush Limbaugh may have taken his attacks on President Obama to a level even too low for his donkey-kicking listeners when he slammed the Commander in Chief as a "jackass." Oh, and the prez is also an "economic ignoramous" and an "idiot," Limbaugh spewed on his radio show while ripping the president's support for extending the Bush tax credits to all but the top 2% of income earners. Obama said at a speech before the Economic Recovery Advisory Board that the wealthy would “take our ball and go home” that if the tax credit isn't extended to at least most of the rich.

Limbaugh responded: “Mr. Obama, our imam-child, they have already taken their trillion dollar ball home, and they’re sitting on it, you jackass." The talk how shost believes keeping the tax breaks for everyone, including the very wealthy (like Rush?) would "inspire confidence," notes ABC News. Did he think he was being a tad too harsh on the prez? Hardly. He insists he was "being charitable."
