A page out of the Nixon handbook!

The President has instructed the Republicans in Congress to stop listening to radio host Rush Limbaugh if they want to "get things done" with him. If this was his idea of a joke, it flopped. The press wasn't too kind to Nixon for his "enemies" list--but then, that was a different era, and a different party.

President Obama warned Republicans on Capitol Hill today that they need to quit listening to radio king Rush Limbaugh if they want to get along with Democrats and the new administration.

"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," he told top GOP leaders, whom he had invited to the White House to discuss his nearly $1 trillion stimulus package.

One White House official confirmed the comment but said he was simply trying to make a larger point about bipartisan efforts. Fox News

Obviously, if Rush had any power with the Republicans in Congress, or the party big-wigs, Obama wouldn't be in office today. McCain wouldn't have been the candidate.
