Limbaugh – Obama Bombing Iraq to Distract from Policy Disasters

Back when bush invaded iraq on false pretense and with false information, no one on the right questioned his motives. Bush was right they thought, and the conservative and Republican media did all they could to push the weapons of mass destruction lie as a valid reason to invade.

President Obama, then a Senator from Illinois, objected to the invasion and referred to it as Bush’s distraction from a disastrous economy.

Well now that there is a legitimate threat to Iraq’s security called ISIS, President Obama has ordered targeted air strikes to selected targets and the same Republicans and conservatives who pushed Bush’s false narrative, are now questioning Obama’s reasoning, saying that Obama is bombing Iraq to cover up what they call, a failed economy.

This was Rush Limbaugh’s theory:

“He didn’t vote for it,” Rush said of Obama. “He made a speech before it even happened condemning it, that Bush was just dredging it up as a distraction. He makes a speech at the Democrat convention in 2004, called it a dumb war, continued with that theme, and now look where we are. Would it be too cynical to suggest that Obama might be bombing Iraq to distract us from his numerous problems? I mean, we’ve got an immigration disaster taking place. Our economy is a disaster. Obamacare is a disaster.”

Chris Matthews to President Obama – You Should Sue Congress – Video

Sometimes, I strongly disagree with Chris Matthews of MSNBC, like when he went on his show and clearly parroted talking-points from the Teaparty, or when he said that Democrats should accept the Teaparty and their crazy ideology. His acceptance of the Teaparty and their message has caused some rather angry posts to be written about him, right here on this site.

But there are other times when the unpredictable host of Hardball say things that’s worth repeating. Like on a previous broadcast when Matthews suggested that if Boehner and the Republicans are suing Obama for… absolutely no reason whatsoever, then maybe the President should sue Congress for not doing their job!

I’ll agree with that, but I’ll be more specific and suggest that President Obama should sue John Boehner and the do-noting Republicans in Congress.

Now you know this wouldn’t happen, even if it were possible for the Executive branch to sue the Legislative branch. This president, for whatever reason, seems to want to stay above the fray, and maybe this knowledge that Obama would not do anything, is the reason why Congressional Republicans are the way they are… determined to do nothing, determined to collect a paycheck from the rest of us, while not performing their duties!
