limbaugh Limbaugh calls Obama the man child presidentFox News host Chris Wallace dedicated over 20 minutes of his Sunday broadcast to an extensive conversation with right-wing radio jock Rush Limbaugh.

Limbaugh proceeded to spend the entire segment inflating his own ego and launching verbal bombs at President Barack Obama -- calling him "the man-child president" and claiming that Obama does not care about the war in Afghanistan.

"You suggest that he is taking all of this time to decide what to do in Afghanistan to keep his left wing base on board for health care reform," Wallace said.

"Well, it's partly that, but I also don't think he cares much about it," Limbaugh said. "See, this is -- I know this is going to sound controversial, but I don't think he cares."

Limbaugh went on to call health care reform an "attack on liberty" and an "attack on freedom."

"We've never seen this kind of radical leader at such a high level of power in this county," he added.

Limbaugh further identified Fox News as part of the "conservative media" and Wallace did not object, Think Progress noted. In the same breath, he appeared to take credit for the conservative media's very existence.

"Look at 1988, there was nobody doing what I’m doing. Nobody," he said. "You had CNN was the only cable network and you had the three networks and the newspapers. And now, look, now look what’s out — all this conservative media. Conservative talk radio, television, Fox News, the conservative blogosphere. I mean, in one way, I could, if I wanted to have my ego be as big as Obama’s is, I could say, look what I created."

Watchdog group Media Matters has a point-for-point breakdown of Limbaugh's interview.

    He copies what people observed about Bush and pastes it onto Obama. Limbaugh is a second-grade bully in a big suit.

    Yes the Leader of the Republcan Party Rush Limbaugh has spoken. As for Obama being a man child well at my age he is young but he's better the Bush who is a drug/alcoholic, uneducated, mangleing the English language while lying for 8 years.

    For one thing- I don't trust FAUX NEWS for anything. Not even sports. I check scores three times before believing those bastards. I also feel that FAUX NEWS is like going to the zoo and visiting the monkey cage. This time, the "big" monkey didn't have a cigar.

    From what I have been reading about Limpbow, the term MAN_CHILD is very important to him. If what I have been reading is correct, there could be interesting things comming to light. Also I heard he may be back on the stuff again. He sure acts funny in some of the interviews. Man child he says. Ha.

    Note to Barack, don't bend over around Rusty

    if lush bimbo was happy with our monkey president, he should be equally happy with the man boy president...there have been no changes...including health care...and there won`t be...
  • budzilla
    Actually, Rush is the man who likes boys. He got a little confused.
  • Pachaa
    This, from Rush Limbaugh?
    Rush L. who can not stay way from his Oxycontin, R. Limbaugh is a pumpkin grown up - it seems that somebody's got to lighten up the light on that one.

    Semper Fi

    Man-child is just another racist term. It's a substitute for "Boy".
  • Hologram5
    Rush is nothing more than a man child bozo.

    I think a very valid question to Limbaugh would have been "Mr. Limbaugh, how much stock do you own in private HMO'S? Given that this pie hole makes 50 million a year you can bet he has millions in stock options in various private health insurance companies which would bias his opinion. So Rush, its not about liberty, good presidents, bad presidents, America or liberty--it's all about the money.
