Rush Limbaugh for President?

Is there one person who has demonstrated an ability to take on Barack Obama on issue after issue ever since then Senator Obama announced his intention to run for the Presidency? Yes! Who is that person? None other than Rush Limbaugh!

Who else would have approximately twenty million enthusiastic supporters ready to campaign for him on the day he would announce his candidacy for the Presidency of the United States? No one, but Rush Limbaugh! Who else would be more of a sure bet to fight for energy independence, a strong national defense, and a commitment to free enterprise?

Some conservative-leaning independents and Republicans, though, would hold back, because they see Rush as arrogant. Is he? If he truly is arrogant, it would be his fatal flaw. I have always thought of his apparent arrogance as schtick, not to be taken seriously. What do you think?

Update: Today (May 13, 2011) Rush explained that he could never be in politics, because he could not tailor his message to appeal to voter groups. He would have the same message, whether he was speaking to a women's group, a men's group, a Hispanic group, a black group, a youth group, or a senior's group. That is just one more reason he should run!

That's always been my take on it as well. It's that American way of walking and talking real proud as Charlie Daniels said. We do that very well but even as we do it, we know it's just for kicks. Something liberals don't really seem to get.
