So Rush Limbaugh is now patting himself on the back for thwarting none other than President Obama.  He declares that Obama tried to "marginalize me" and failed in the effort.

The same Rush Limbaugh that earlier said that he would either have anyone taking drugs in any amount executed or banished from America with no opportunity to return, then was compelled to admit to being an addicted Oxycontin user, has been declaring victory over a turf war in which he proclaims triumph over the president.

The incident Limbaugh refers to was a reference made by Obama to House Republicans at a time when he was seeking bipartisan support for his stimulus package legislation.  Obama made a reference to the mistake of having the Republican Party tied to Limbaugh.

Pat Buchanan seized on proclaimed opportunity before Limbaugh.  The same Buchanan who confidently asserted that Sarah Palin had "wiped the floor up with Joe Biden" in the only vice-presidential candidate's debate last fall, an assertion the vast majority of Americans rejected, stated that by mentioning Limbaugh as he had to House Republicans that he had made a serious tactical error that strengthened Limbaugh.
