Obama should say this to Limbaugh's debate proposal:

[bluestateguy]

"You want to debate? Then run against me in 2012. Win your party's nomination, and we'll have a debate. Hell, we'll have three debates. You want to share a debating platform with the President of the United States, then you will have to earn it."

[SpiralHawk]

1. Republicons aren't into 'earning'

They are into 'no-bid' contracts -- as the record shows.

[Vinca]

2. Nah, he ought to send Rush a pair of shoes to be shined.

[Bucky]

3. or not

Obama shouldn't say this. It's beneath the dignity of the office. Obama has gone on plenty of "entertainment" shows. But that doesn't obligate him to waste time on "entertainers" who engage in hate speech.

[Drunken Irishman]

4. Obama shouldn't say a word to Limbaugh. Let the fool hang himself.

[Cha]

5. Gibbs will probably

tell that to one of the reporters at the pressers who asks the burning question.

[Avalux]

6. Nope. Obama should say nothing - he's got Bush's mess to fix.

This is something Gibbs can handle with humor during a briefing; treat it as the insignificant rant of a madman it is.

[safeinOhio]

7. The President is very busy at this time, so

Gibby should offer up himself or Rahmbo to debate ON NATIONAL TV.

[CakeGrrl]

8. Obama should not and will not say a feckin' word to that gasbag

The most Limbaugh will get is a 'talk to the hand' from the WH press secretary at best.

And it will continue to drive him batshit crazy.

Win-win.

[ckimmy57]

9. I agree

Ignore the slimy skank ass. Let him continue to rant and rave and show the true barf in a bag he is and we know him to be.

[Clio the Leo]

10. And of if he'd ONLY take him up on the offer!

Would be like a dream come true! Moderate Repubs would come running to our side so fast we'd get trampled underneath them! lol

[MikeE]

11. Yes, ignore him

But, if asked the question, he should say that he is too busy getting the economy on track and getting people back to work.

[maxsolomon]

12. limbaugh doesn't look like he'll make it to 2012.

A coronary is most likely, then cancer or diabetes.

If a virulent STD doesn't get him 1st.

[rurallib]

13. Rooshie could be the new Alf Landon - only bigger

with a cigar and drug problems.

[NYC_SKP]

14. How bout a game of hoops?

The old gas bag would drop dead and we'd be done with him...

[Rashel]

15. He shouldn't stoop to respond to a DJ.

[AlCzervik]

16. Obama will not lower himself, he doesn't need to say a thing about Rump Leakage.
